a generate effect that duplicates and shrinks a video layer?
Posted by Dan LaCloche on July 5, 2021 at 9:40 pmBasic question, I think…
Is there an effect that can be applied to a video layer that “multiplies” it? Like, turn the video into a quad split so 4 copies are on screen, or 9, or 16, etc? I feel like there must be. Like something called “The Multiplier”, right?

July 6, 2021 at 7:08 pmthe motion tile effect will do it, you’ll need to adjust the output width and height together, but then it will scale and replicate at the same time.

You would adjust the Tile Width and Height properties (not the Output Wd & Ht)

Also Repetile does the same thing, but expanding the layers boundaries to get the results.
It has lots of tiling modes, unfold is very useful.

July 8, 2021 at 8:26 pmYou should look into the Digital Anarchy 3D Assistants Pro plug-in. Wait… what? Oh, Red Giant purchased that and it’s not called Red Giant PlaneSpace and part of the Effects Suite. No? Now it’s part of the Universe? Not the Universe? Now it’s called Red Giant Complete? What? Are you kidding me? Red Giant is now Maxon? And they make no mention of this plug-in anymore?
WTF is happening? I’m getting too old for this.
Red Giant PlaneSpace is designed to ease the tedious task of managing individual layers in multi-layer effect videos. Allowing you to automatically create layers that include cubic, cylindrical, and spheroid shapes or complex matrices, the software facilitates arranging 3D layers throughout 3D space into the shape of your choice without requiring keyframes or complicated math.
Using Creator Tools, the PlaneSpace allows generating multiple layers with variable scale, height, width, and controls for a creative video output. It includes 6 distribution tools which enable you to easily distribute new layers around the original layer. In addition, the 6 lite and 10 pro control palettes allow you to build shapes with minimal effort, and offer control over placement and repetition respectively, which save RAM providing greater processing speeds.
