Hey, how did make certain people disappear in ur videos?

The way most people do it is taking a screen-cap of the point where you want the person to disappear, then opening it with an image editing program e.g. PhotoShop and just filling in the background to make it look like the clip is two-layered. Of course, if there's a clip where you have the background and then your character coming into shot it's made a lot easier as you already have the background and just need to fade a screen-cap of that and the shot with the character together.

Make two tracks and put the clips on opposite tracks. Use pan/crop tool to move them how you want them in relation to each other- you can also right click on pan/crop window and select flip horizontal to flip one of the clips if you need it to be mirrored from the other one. Then use cookie cutter feathered (oval side is my favourite shape) to feather the two clips together. Hope that made sense. I can do a visual tutorial later if you want.
