Video cloning technique is among top hot editing tricks that professional editors favor. In fact, it just uses picture-in-picture video effects and combines two shots in the same background. That way makes a person (or an object) appear 2+ times simultaneously.

Part One - How to Clone Yourself in a Video via Premiere Pro?

Professional video editors love to use Premiere Pro to make a clone video. Here is an example from Jamie's YouTube:

YouTube: How to clone yourself in a video in Premiere.

Shoot a moving video and keep shooting lights the same.

In Premiere Pro's track editor, cut the video shot to several parts.

Drag some footage/part cuts above the current editing track.

Resize the above track's footage to render picture in picture effects.

Adjust above footage position and make your video feel like one perfect video instead of two dropped videos.

Indeed, Premiere Pro is powerful enough to clone a video and render all kinds of video effects & transitions you want for a video. However, it's the tool fitting for only a few high-skilled people - its steep learning curve, complex navigation, plus its pricey subscribing fees are not acceptable for an average user.
