The frames that save every pixel of a picture are called i-frames (intra-coded), these are able toīe displaeyd on their own, and without reliance from other information, since its literally a whole picture. This is what we are going to be targeting. this reason this is possible is because of how video compression works.Įver wonder why two videos with the same length can be vastly different sizes? it's because eachįrame of video isn't actually being saved, but most frames are saved as the difference from the last frame. at its core, datamoshing isĪ process of manipulating the data of (usually) video files to achieve certain visual/auditoryĮffects when decoded. Intuition to pick good clips and understand how they work together. Well at least this specific type, because knowing what actually happens will give you better I'm gunna start by just trying to explain the gist of what even happens when datamoshing, Here's some tests/projets i've done with datamoshing: should give anyone full tools to datamosh. Less of a process and more of a tutorial.
