Leaded glass for a clip. The frame becomes a window of glass pieces, each filled with the color behind it, held together by dark lead lines.

Scale, variance, and lead

Glass Scale sets the size of the pieces. Cell Variance moves from an even grid to irregular shards. Lead Thickness and Lead Color set the lines between cells: thick black lead gives the church-window look.

Motion

The window stays still and the light behind it moves. Slow, colorful footage such as sunsets, fire, or a moving crowd makes the glass glow and shift like a lit window.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are the glass cells made?

Points are scattered over the frame and every pixel joins its nearest point, which forms a Voronoi diagram. Each cell takes the color beneath it, and lead lines are drawn where cells meet.

Does the cell layout change between frames?

No. The cells are the same on every frame, like a real window, and change color as the picture moves behind them.

What does Cell Variance do?

It scatters the points. Low variance gives a regular, tile-like layout; high variance gives irregular shards.

What happens to the audio?

It is copied into the export unchanged when the container can hold its codec, and re-encoded when it cannot. A note under the export button says which happened.

Stained Glass Effect

Convert photos into a shattered mosaic or stained glass window using Voronoi diagrams.

Mosaic Video Effect

Tile every frame of a video into a mosaic of square or organic stone tiles with grout and bevelled edges. Set tile style, tile size, grout thickness, and bevel; sizes scale with the output. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Engraving Video Effect

Turn every frame of a video into an antique engraving: hatch lines that follow the form, crosshatching in the shadows, and etched edges that move slightly on every frame. Set ink and paper colors, exposure, and line density. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Frosted Glass Video Effect

Put every frame of a video behind frosted glass: soft diffusion, fine etched grain that stays fixed like a real pane, and an optional tint. Set frost depth, roughness, tint strength, and tint color. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Patterned Glass Video Effect

Refract every frame of a video through decorative patterned glass: cracked ice, woven, hexagon, glacier, waffle, or karatachi. The glass stays fixed while the picture moves behind it. Set pattern, scale, relief depth, and dispersion. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Sketch Video Effect

Turn a video into a moving pencil drawing: graphite shading, traced contours, and paper texture that is redrawn on every frame. Set paper color and each layer's strength. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Blueprint Video Effect

Turn every frame of a video into a blueprint drawing: white edge lines on drafting blue with a measured grid. Set edge intensity, blue hue, and grid opacity. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Cross-Stitch Video Effect

Render every frame of a video as cross-stitch embroidery: X-shaped thread stitches in a reduced palette on aida cloth. Set stitch scale, thread colors, and fabric color. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Dispersion Video Effect

Break the edges in every frame of a video into particles that drift left, right, up, or down, with a new particle layout on every frame. Set particle amount, travel distance, edge threshold, and direction. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Disposable Camera Video Effect

Give a video the look of a cheap point-and-shoot film camera: harsh flash bloom, faded warm print color, light leaks, vignette, and grain and dust that move on every frame. Set flash strength and film finish. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Halftone Video Effect

Turn every frame of a video into a halftone dot screen. Set dot and paper colors, grid spacing, dot scale, and a 45° screen, or sample the dots from the source colors. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Holographic Video Effect

Lay an iridescent, angle-driven spectrum over every frame of a video for a holographic foil look, with a foil texture that stays fixed like a real sheet. Set iridescence, foil angle, spectral bands, and foil texture. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.
