  Start with **CC HexTile**. Set **Render** to 'Tile' and **Radius** to around 370 (assuming HD comp). Add a feathered circular matte to the center and place your original media behind this.
  
  This is the fastest way to do it but the **joins won't be feathered**.
  
  For this, you would need to manually create eight instances of the media (masked and feathered) and position them around in a circle.
