Yes,

Thanks for reply.
It doesn't work for me either way: dragging unto clip or placing it on the effects timeline.

I have just begun testing most of the effects to see how they work and many of them don't.

I think I am going to uninstall and re-install PD9. This was suggested to me for another issue. EVGA (132-BL-E758-TR) X58 ATX
Intel i7 920 Quad Core
Win 7 Prof, 64 bit
NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 285, 1GB
12GB SDRAM DDR3 1600.
Canon Vixia HF S21 (AVCHD)

It does not appear to work on my system (Ver. 2504).

Works fine with video but no movement with still shots.

Actually it works with a still shot but all you see is the deformed image as it is a distorted view. The kaleidoscope view itself does not move. A video works because it has movement. __________________________________________

I never thought of the movement aspect with the video Bubba, thanks.

I do get the effect in the still images, just no movement. I have to make some setting adjustments with the effect on still images to get a suitable picture.

Here is a short demonstration on some of the effects in PD9 and how they appear.

Even with a still image, key frames can be set with the kaleidoscope effect to generate "movement". If the default effect is applied, as Bubba says, all you get is a distorted image.
