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.

3. Describe your own

Need something different? Describe the tool you want and Fuser builds it, with the controls you asked for.

Ways to use this effect

Shape ordinary video into different point-based treatments by adjusting the visual controls and choosing between splats and points.

Create abstract motion visuals

Give moving footage a point-cloud or Gaussian-splat-inspired treatment for experimental visual work.

Explore splat-based aesthetics

Use the splat style with different density and splat size settings to build a softer point-based look.

Make a points treatment

Choose the points style when you want the video represented with visible individual points.

Build a dark-background composition

Enable the dark background switch to place the transformed video against a darker visual setting.

Add depth and orbit variation

Adjust the depth and orbit sliders to explore different spatial treatments of the video.

Generate alternate visual versions

Change the seed and combine it with density, size, and style adjustments to create different results from the same video.

Frequently asked questions

It takes one video input and returns a video with a point-cloud or Gaussian-splat-inspired appearance. You can choose between splat and points styles and adjust the available visual controls.

Prepare the video you want to transform and provide it as the tool’s video input. No other input is required.

Density, splat size, depth, orbit, and seed each provide adjustable settings for the generated result. The style dropdown selects splat or points, and the dark background switch turns the dark background option on or off.

Yes. The Live tool runs in your browser, updates as you move the controls, and is free to try on this page without an account. Downloading more than once or opening it in Fuser asks you to sign up.

Yes. Open the tool in Fuser, use it as a node, and connect its video result to another node in your workflow. You can also use another node’s video output as this tool’s input.

This tool changes a video into a point-cloud-inspired visual result. Its output is a video, with depth and orbit available as controls for shaping the look.
