How to make a 2 Column video in Jupitrr

Plan your recording

Pick your two verdict words before you record, such as Buy and Pass, Myth and Fact or Keep and Cut, and use the same words for every item. Say the item's name, then the verdict, then a one-line reason.

• Use short item names (one to five words) that have a recognisable picture.
• Six to twelve items suit a short video. A video can have up to 30, and the board shrinks to fit.
• Not the right Format? For a mistake and its fix side by side, use Do & Don't. For three levels, use 3 Column.

Step-by-step guide

1. 1

   Option 1: for a new upload, choose 2 Column

   In Set up your video, choose 2 Column as the Format, then select Start Editing.

   Because this is a new video, nothing is removed: automatic B-roll is simply never added.

   The board owns the screen, so automatic B-roll is switched off, and emojis and transitions start off too.

2. 2

   Option 2: for an existing video, turn it on in the editor

   Before you do this: on a video that already has its first cut, 2 Column applies as soon as you choose it, with no confirmation. It removes automatic B-roll, automatic text overlays and camera zooms, and switches off emojis and transitions. B-roll and text you added yourself stay. Removing or leaving 2 Column later does not bring them back; add B-roll again from B-rolls if you need it. This doesn't apply to a new video: choosing 2 Column at upload removes nothing, because that B-roll is never added.

   For a video that is already open, select Formats and choose 2 Column. It turns on straight away.

   If another Format is on, select Change Format first, then choose 2 Column and confirm with Switch format. The other Format is turned off and its settings are kept.

3. 3

   Let Jupitrr build the board

   The panel shows Building your 2 column board while it reads your transcript, names the columns and places each item.

   Columns start as Buy and Pass. If you used other verdicts, Jupitrr names the columns from your words. A short title for the board becomes your hook, shown where the subtitles normally sit.

   Pictures are then added from a web search for each item. If nothing gets a verdict, you'll see This doesn't look like a 2 column video.

   Check each item

   Under Items, each row has a picture, a name and a Column menu. Click a row to jump to it, rename it or move it to the other column.

   Remove item deletes a row. Add item at playhead adds New item in the first column at the current moment.

5. 5

   Change pictures

   Click an item's picture to open the image window. Use Search web images, Upload your own (up to 5 MB) or Remove image. Auto Images fills items that have no picture.

   Without a picture, the item shows its name on a pill.

6. 6

   Rename or recolour the columns

   Open Style. Under Columns, type a new name (up to 24 characters) or click the colour swatch.

7. 7

   Style the board and the reveal

   Under Board style, choose a Size (S, M or L) and Y position.

   • Reveal Items Animation shows each item large as you name it, then drops it into its column. Choose its size (S, M, L or XL) and Reveal Y position, or switch it off so pictures simply appear.
8. 8

   Adjust timing on the timeline

   Items and the board appear on the Format row of the timeline. Drag or trim them to change when they show.

9. 9

   Switch or remove the format

   Before you do this: switching to Tier List, Do & Don't, 2 Column, 3 Column or Logo List removes automatic B-roll, automatic text overlays and camera zooms as soon as you confirm. Do & Don't also removes text you added. Removing 2 Column or switching away from it doesn't bring back what it removed.

   Select Change Format, choose another Format and confirm with Switch format, or choose Remove format.

   Your items, columns and pictures are kept, so switching back restores the board.
