For this effect, you will need FL Studio for the vocoded audio to be installed, and the latest version of Kdenlive for the visual effect running on your operating system.

Step 1: Launching the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW)

Open FL Studio and import an audio file by browsing to your files or using the channel rack's plus icon to add an audio clip under the miscellaneous section. Click the new audio clip channel, then the folder icon in channel settings to select your file. Drag the audio clip from the channel rack into the playlist workspace if needed. Turn off the Fruity Limiter plugin in the last mixer slot for best results.

Step 2: Apply the Plugin

On the Mixer tool, click on a small arrow in one of the slots, and find "IL Vocodex" under the miscellaneous section to apply it to the track or browse through the plugin database and on the effects folder, click the miscellaneous folder and choose the plugin I mentioned to apply.

Inside the plugin, change the preset to "Chord", and change the carrier tone to "Phased". Follow the keyset below to change certain keys.

When you are already done following step-by-step, export your audio file in any format to your files elsewhere, such as .mp3, .ogg, or .wav.

Step 3: Opening the Video Editor

Launch Kdenlive on your screen, and browser through the files by going to its built-in file manager, and choosing a video file or you can simply just drag and drop your video clip into the timeline where the tracks are empty.

Step 4: Applying the LUT

Download the provided LUT below, and apply the LUT filter inside the video editor, and then choose "Glowstream Phased" where it came from the .CUBE file.
