What It Does
Astleyizer detects people in your footage and replaces them with Rick Astley, the singer behind “Never Gonna Give You Up.” It’s a single-purpose AI plugin built as a nod to Rickrolling culture, developed by Baskl.ai and available for free on aescripts.com.
The plugin works across After Effects, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Nuke.
Key Features
AI-based face and figure replacement. Uses machine learning to identify subjects in video and apply the Rick Astley transformation to them.
Multi-host compatibility. Works in After Effects 2022 through 2026, Premiere Pro 2022 through 2026, DaVinci Resolve 19 through 21, and Nuke 14 through 16.
Who It’s For
Honestly, anyone who wants to Rickroll their audience at the video level. Beyond the obvious meme application, it’s a decent showcase of what Baskl.ai’s face-swapping pipeline can do. If you’re evaluating their more serious tools like Anonymizer or Face Swapper, Astleyizer gives you a free, low-stakes way to see the tech in action.
