Its "STARLISH", I think. But star fish is great too. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@lordfhate1641]

One of the best tutorials I've watched. Beautiful 😍

[@code.with.chirag]

I have seen many videos on KZbin for kaleidoscope in after effects. I find yours is the best among all of them. Thank you.

[@darynarystanbekov6568]

Awesome tutorial! So simple and stunning effect. Tint effect is so useful, never used it before. Thanks for sharing this tutorial

[@tgg_music2]

This was fantastic! Thank you!

[@iandoesdesign4827]

Great Tutorial Thanks Mike!

[@UNSUBSCRIBE90]

I used this kaleida effect you showed but added a twist! I added a song to the comp, converted them to keyframes, and pickwhipped each rotate of each Kaleida to the keyframed audio channels, so that the kaleidascope moves to the beat of the music! Pretty cool effect! Do try!

[@MajickRs]

Can you please tell me how to do this? How to "pickwhip" each rotation to the song?

[@UNSUBSCRIBE90]

I actually do not remember how I did that I think you have to convert the audio to keyframes first; you'll have to figure it out from there I think, sadly. Hope this helps you a bit

[@farus_channel]

Damn that's amazing! Thanks for the tutorial dudee

[@StellaLovesMusic25]

Being an amateour photographer I already have tons of photos which I can turn into kaleidoscopes.I love abstract art which I have applied to my photos in photoshop.This could be fun.

[@KILLWOOZI]

How to I make the “Rotation” rotate in cycle all along my video?

[@niteshpande7664]

Intro music is awesome.... Please tell me its name. I also searched in mobox music... Couldn't find... Please tell me that music name... Thanks in advance

[@11305205219]

what's music in the beginning

[@montanabassmusic]

Is there a possibility of syncing this with audio to flow with a custom automation

[@chiwiria4342]

This is a really good question... Did you figured it out?

[@Bombshocked]

@@chiwiria4342 hey, this is actually the basis of the visualizer I use on my channel, if that is what you are looking for?

[@Merlincat007]

@@Bombshocked Looks cool! How'd you do that?

[@grxfyx]

It's really easy. Firstly right click on your audio and convert it into keyframes by using the keyframe assistant. Then apply the kaleida effect on ur pic and then alt+click on the property u want to animate according to the beat. There will be a pick whip option(swirl) and then u need to parent it to the audio channel(slider option). Use expressions to make it more customisable.

Fractals are the basic experiences of the universe. This is what you would experience if your brain wasn’t there to process the information.

[@jfi19]

Anybody, what's the outro music?

[@Rohit-eg9jo]

Now i have my own video after i do pot🚬 🤣

[@DaSpoon]

Could anyone tell me what the intro song is called? It's totally my style and I can't find it

[@moboxgraphics]

Cornered in the cold. Can't remember the artist.

Not finding this 'easy' beginner life

[@moboxgraphics]

Practice makes perfect!

[@imlianesoul]

@@moboxgraphics Mine comes up really slow. Do you know how to make the kaleidoscope transition into type and then back again? I need to learn how to do this for uni and can't see a tutorial anywhere

[@moboxgraphics]

@@imlianesoul Hmm I'm not sure what you mean, can you explain further?

[@tkucey8689]

As a new user of premier, I have to say if this is the easy one, please don't show me the hard...😆😂
