X Comes Out to Show Them

"X Comes Out to Show Them" is the name of a video effect procedure original to the Kyoobur9000 YouTube Channel. It involves duplicating a video into very many copies of itself (usually 729) and playing them all slightly out of sync so that the details of the video's sound will be lost. The copies of the video are arranged in a tile pattern and are altered with color effects.

Origin
The idea of X Comes Out to Show Them began in 2014 in Kyoobur's Audio Engineering class in senior year of high school. On the topic of tape techniques, his teacher taught him about a piece called "Come Out" by Steve Reich, where a sound clip is played, recorded, and brought out of sync repeatedly until so many copies are playing simultaneously that the sound clip loses all detail and becomes a constant noise. Kyoobur's first X Comes Out to Show Them video, Vidamerica Comes Out to Show Them, was published on January 7TH, 2015, a rather long time after he learned about Steve Reich.

Technique
Kyoobur uses a different technique than Steve Reich to duplicate sound clips. He duplicates the audio into nine tracks and sets each one to start a set number of frames after the one before it. He renders the video, then replaces the original with his rendered product and follows the same procedure with a different delay, and again. This produces 729 copies of the original audio which all play out of sync. He has published videos with 6,561 copies of the video, and one with 59,049 copies. The effects he applies to the corresponding video clips vary but usually involve changing the color of the video.

Current Status
X Comes Out to Show Them is a fairly well-received effect and is the subject of many requests. Kyoobur published X Comes Out to Show Them videos frequently after his first such video, but publishes them more rarely now because they take a lot of time and resources to render. It is not uncommon for Kyoobur to begin rendering such a video but cancel after his editing program, Sony Vegas Pro 12.0, crashes. Other YouTubers make X Comes Out to Show Them videos, and a search for such videos will return results from many different users, all of which are familiar with the Kyoobur9000 YouTube channel.
