Datamosh applied to FRCTL's test image: Measured motion vectors drag the held frame around, the way a broken codec does.

Glitch effect

Datamosh

Measured motion vectors drag the held frame around, the way a broken codec does.

Runs live on video, images, a camera or generated art. Stack it with any other effect, and route LFOs, envelopes or any of ten audio bands to its controls so it moves with the music.

Controls

Drag
How far the motion vectors push the held frame.
Hold
How long the frame smears before the source bleeds back in.
Blocks
Macroblock size, from coarse slabs to fine tearing.
Bleed
Color channel separation along the vectors.
Sense
How little texture counts as motion worth smearing.
