Looks as though he has used a clipping mask. Are you familiar with clipping masks?

Here's one example....

Lets say we have this computer and I want to change the image that appears on the computers screen.


I create a new layer above the Computer layer.
On this new layer I create a rectangle that's the same size of the computer screen.
The color of the rectangle does not matter. Here I used black.


Here is the black rectangle as it appears on it's own layer with the computer layer turned off.


Next I open the new image that I want to appear within the black rectangle.
I place the new image layer above the black rectangle layer.

Now I want to clip the new layer image to the black rectangle layer using a clipping mask.
Right click the new image layer and select create clipping mask or hover your cursor between the two layers while holding down the alt/option key, you will see the cursor turn into a box with a black angled arrow pointing down, then click.

You will see that there is a white angled arrow pointing downward located to the left of the new image layer. This arrow is indicating that the layer is clipped to the layer below it.


Here's how the new image will appear after it has been clipped to the black rectangle.

Ok, let's say these three rectangles represent a column on a webpage layout.



And I want each rectangle to contain a separate image.
Follow the clipping instructions that I showed you above and clip a different image to each rectangle.

Hello............are you getting this?

Here is the video where he adds the clipping mask at 20:34. He does it very fast.
