How does this skill handle datamoshing?

The skill utilizes the minterpolate filter with motion-compensated interpolation modes to simulate pixel bleeding and motion data corruption without requiring manual bitstream editing.

Can I apply these glitch effects to specific parts of a video?

Yes, many commands included in this skill utilize the 'enable' parameter, allowing you to trigger distortions at specific timestamps using the 'between(t,start,end)' expression.

Does it support Windows file paths?

Absolutely. A critical guideline of this skill is to ensure that all FFmpeg commands generated for Windows environments use backslashes (\) for file paths.

What is the best way to simulate a retro CRT monitor?

The skill provides a composite CRT filter chain that combines gaussian blur, scan line grids, vignette, and lens barrel distortion (lenscorrection) for a realistic look.

Design Tools

Generates creative video glitch art, datamosh effects, and analog distortions using advanced FFmpeg filters.

About

This skill provides a comprehensive toolkit for creating professional-grade glitch aesthetics and digital corruption effects directly via FFmpeg. It automates complex filter chains for datamoshing (pixel bleeding), VHS/analog simulation, chromatic aberration, and displacement mapping. Ideal for video editors, creative coders, and artists, the skill offers precise control over pixelation, temporal echoes, and scan line effects to achieve specific visual styles ranging from retro lo-fi to modern experimental digital art.

Key Features

Geometric displacement mapping for wave, ripple, and lens distortion effects.
Temporal manipulation including motion trails (lagfun), echoes, and frame blending (tmix).
7 GitHub stars
Dynamic chromatic aberration and animated RGB channel shifting.
High-fidelity VHS and analog simulation with tracking noise, color bleed, and scan lines.
Advanced datamoshing and pixel bleeding via motion compensation interpolation (minterpolate).

Use Cases

Creating intentional digital corruption and compression artifacts for experimental visual projects.
Producing stylized glitch transitions and textures for music videos and social media.
Simulating vintage analog, CRT, or security camera footage for games and film.
