Datamoshing For Mac
I’ve started playing around with video art.
Also, the tool provides four datamoshing effects that will help you create artistic artifacts in your digital video recording. Thus, the bloom effect repeats a frame multiple times, while the looping feature plays the file back from the beginning. P-frame duplication in avidemux on Mac OS X image I had thought it wasn’ t possible to install a version of avidemux that was old enough. I have researched many DataMoshing tutorials online and many of Open ‘ AviDemux ‘ Go to ‘FILE’ and load in the video you want to use. Datamoshing itself is the process of intentionally damaging or combining the input from two media files to create distortion effects on playback. Datamoshing became popular as a visual effect in 2005 and was seen in use during live video sets and in music videos.
In particular, I’m exploring how to make destructive effects with datamoshing and how to generate style transfers with deep learning. The results are unpredictable and weird. It’s fun.
I’ve made a video art repo to track my work. It has links to resources I’ve found helpful and code for manipulating video and running command-line scripts.
Here are my findings so far.

Avidemux
Avidemux is a free tool commonly used for datamoshing. You can also do basic video editing with it, though many people edit the original videos in some other software (e.g. Premiere).
Here are some good introductions to Avidemux:
Other handy tools to have are VLC for viewing and converting a variety of video files and ffmpeg as a general command-line video utility.
Many people report that Avidemux doesn’t work as well for datamoshing on newer versions of OS X (I don’t know about Windows or Linux). Some people recommend using a different operating system (e.g. with VirtualBox).
I tried downloading Avidemux 2.5.4 based on these instructions — TUTORIAL How to install avidemux for datamoshing on Mac OS X - Art! - Glitchet Forum — but it wouldn’t load on my system (OSX Mojave).
That said, Avidemux 2.7.1 seems to be stable on a fully updated Mac. Here are instructions for using a later version (> 2.7) of Avidemux: Datamoshing using Avidemux 2.7.0. Using these settings, I was able to get some glitch effects, but they were hit or miss. Your mileage may vary.
