Recursive Tile.
Split the frame into recursive rectangles that zoom, rotate and shift.
Drag to compare. Left: the original clip. Right: the same clip through recursive.tile, rendered by the app.
What does it do?
Recursive Tile cuts the picture into nested rectangular subdivisions; each tile can show the image zoomed, rotated or offset, with gaps and a reconstruction amount. This demo uses the default settings.
Creative ideas
- A grid of moments for a graphic edit.

How to use it
- Open the Effects tab.
- In the left rail, under VIDEO FX, click recursive.tile.
- Set subdivisions and split mode; add zoom and randomness.
