How tools work

A tool is a small app you describe in plain words. Try this one here, then keep it on your Fuser canvas and connect it to the rest of your work.

1. Try it here

Add your own file or text and adjust the controls. Live tools run in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

2. Open it in Fuser

Sign up free and the tool opens on your canvas with this example wired in, ready to connect to images, video or text from other nodes.

Ways to use a datamoshed video

Use the pixel-glitch result wherever you want visible motion distortion and adjustable digital artifacts.

Glitch title sequences

Add datamoshed distortion to video intros, title cards, or opening sequences.

Create music video textures

Use changing pixel blocks, streaks, and color bleed to give footage a deliberately corrupted look.

Make transition clips

Create short glitch-style video segments to place between scenes or visual sections.

Distort background footage

Turn ordinary motion footage into an abstract background with adjustable intensity and block size.

Build digital-art loops

Experiment with refresh timing, streaks, and seed values to create varied datamoshed video results.

Add a corrupted-video effect

Apply the result to footage that needs a recognizable pixel-glitch treatment rather than a clean presentation.

Frequently asked questions

It takes one video input and produces one datamoshed video result. The result uses adjustable pixel distortion, streaks, refresh timing, color bleed, and seed settings.

Prepare the video you want to distort and provide it as the tool’s video input. You can then try the controls in your browser and watch the result update as you change them.

Intensity changes the overall effect amount, while Block size offers 8, 16, or 32. Refresh every changes the refresh timing, Streaks adjusts smearing, Color bleed toggles color bleeding, and Seed changes the variation.

No account is needed to try the tool on this page. Downloading more than once or opening it in Fuser asks you to sign up.

Yes. Use a video as the input, adjust the datamosh controls, and pass the resulting video to other nodes in a larger Fuser workflow. You can also use this node as part of a sequence of video-processing steps.
