What It Does
Astleyizer uses AI face detection to find every face in your footage and replace it with Rick Astley. It also includes automatic face blurring and pixelization, so you have options beyond the full Rick Astley treatment.
The plugin is made by Baskl.ai, the same developer behind Anonymizer and AI Relight Pro, and it runs inside Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, and Nuke.
Key Features
Rick Astley face replacement. The core function: AI detects faces in the frame and swaps them out with Rick Astley automatically.
Face blurring and pixelization. For clips where you want privacy protection rather than a Rick Astley substitute, the plugin offers standard blurring and pixel mosaic options.
Who It’s For
Honestly, this one is pretty self-explanatory. It was released on April 1, 2026, and it does exactly what it says. If you need to rickroll someone via video edit, or you want a novelty privacy tool that goes a different direction than a standard blur, this is the plugin.
Pricing
Free, with a free trial also available on the aescripts product page.
