Reduce a clip to two tones. Every pixel above the threshold turns white and every pixel below turns black, which turns footage into stark silhouettes and graphic shapes.
Move Threshold until the subject separates from the background. Softness widens the transition into a short gray ramp, which smooths edges and reduces the crawl of pixels that sit near the cut. For a dotted, dithered black and white instead, use the thermal printer video effect.
Pixels brighter than the threshold become white and the rest black. At 128 the split is at middle gray.
Pixels near the threshold switch between black and white as noise and compression change from frame to frame. Softness adds a short gray ramp around the threshold, which calms the edges.
Turn on Invert Result.
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.
Convert an image to pure black and white with a single luminance cutoff. Set the threshold level from 0 to 255, soften the edge, and invert the result for stencils, silhouettes, and masks.
Turn every frame of a video into a 1-bit receipt-printer image with Atkinson or Floyd–Steinberg dithering, paper tint, and ink noise that changes on every frame. Set dither mode, tint, brightness, contrast, and noise. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.
Defocus every frame of a video and turn bright highlights into round or polygonal bokeh discs. Set highlight threshold, disc diameter, aperture blades, background defocus, and disc brightness. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.
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.
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.
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.
Pull the strong edges in every frame of a video into downward paint trails, with new trails drawn on every frame. Set drip length, trail spread, edge threshold, and drip amount. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.
Print every frame of a video as ink that creeps into paper fibre past its edges, with the fibre redrawn on every frame. Set ink threshold, bleed distance, fibre scale, and fibre resistance. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.
Carve every frame of a video into a linocut print: solid ink shapes, gouged midtone lines, and ragged cut edges that shift on every frame. Set simplify, ink threshold, gouge spacing, and edge carve. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.
Turn every frame of a video into an oil painting with an edge-preserving Kuwahara brush filter, stronger color, and canvas texture. Set brush size, vibrance, and canvas texture; brush size scales with the output. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.
Sort the pixels of every video frame into streaks by luminance, hue, or saturation for a melting glitch-art look. Set threshold, direction, sort key, and randomness. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.
Split every frame of a video into offset color channels for the red and cyan look of anaglyph 3D glasses. Set the separation distance and angle, color pair, and ghosting. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.
