  How to create a BILLION effects like this

  Posted by Michael Cassidy on April 17, 2017 at 3:50 pm

  Hi There, I’m looking at doing a project where I can create multiple (Millions, even billions) of the same file playing at the same time i.e. something like this:

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLthw2YWb4s

  Is this available to do in Final Cut Pro / AE / Logic short of Duplicating the same file on a billion seperate tracks?

  Cheers

  motion tile would likely work for this. adjusting the tile width and height properties will ‘replicate’ the image/footage.

  Hope you have a fast computer. That will be a beast to render.

  Hi.

  I would suggest you keep a maximum of 4 tracks for each render. For example, render the 16, grab that render and place 4 of those inside the 64 to build it. Render the 64, grab 4 of those and place them inside the 256. Render the 256 and place 4 inside the 1024, and so on. This way you will not need ( and no machine would be able to do it ) to have billions of instances of the same video.

  Hope it helps

  Doesn’t using motion tile only replicates the footage? The real problem will be the audio!
