gredgie, I want you to glitch me like one of your French girls.

Okay, Kate Winslet, one moment.

EDIT: Whilst the original image doesn't feature nipples anyway, I like the fact the chair glitches in such a way it looks like she's now wearing a dress.

My first attempted at glitching a picture using Notepad++.

I found that certain bytes of data usually displayed as DC# could be deleted while rarely ever corrupting the image.



I've also come to realize that glitching .gif images is much harder seeing as they'll rarely ever properly render outside of a standard image viewer.

-----------------------------------------

I went ahead and glitched another image.



I sort of prefer this one seeing as there was much more time invested into it.

Imagedump ahead:

I've spent the morning experimenting with glitching these things, and drat if it isn't a hell of alot of fun. For now I've just been experimenting with bitmaps and jpegs.

Here's the image I started out with, a photo I took last summer -


The first thing I did was saturate it a little bit. Then I derezzed it by zooming out and screencapping, and saved it as a bitmap



Here I did some basic loving around with the bitmap code in Notepad++ - inserting gibberish between random lines, and replacing portions of text throughout the document. I wasn't too happy with this because all it really resulted in were a few off-colored pixels, some out of place yellows and greens.



So I derezzed it yet again to simplify the pixels, enlarged, and began to mess with it again. I WISH I remembered how I got the bizarre, awesome twisting formation, but I have no idea how I did it. I'm pretty sure it was a very minor change in the header that did it. It's still a bitmap at this point.


Another tiny change gave me this - which I really dig. I wish I could get a large scale print of this and hang it up. It was a very, very small change - some of the code in the header has mathmatical function calls, and by changing one of them you change how it renders the image line by line, and when the equations don't add up, you get cool poo poo like this.




I went back a few steps, and after arriving at a fairly pleasing visual arrangement, I derezzed it yet again, saved it as a jpg, and THEN got up to some fun fuckery. Minor cutting and pasting here and there, a final deresolution, and I wound up with something pretty neat.

Messing around with various methods to glitch video (and audio but that's less important), I found one that manages to do a blend of weird stuff, it looks almost painterly in spots.
Here's the example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nud62OFcyTc

And here's a how to:
Get yourself the transcoder avidemux and the old glitch stand by Audacity.
Take your video, and open it in avidemux, for your video codec select 'mpeg4-avc(x264)'*, you can leave the configuration on default for decent quality, audio doesn't really play a factor so just go with AAC(faac) and it'll be fine, set the 'muxer' as mp4 and save (remember to put the mp4 extension in the filename).
Open Audacity, select import->raw data.
Select encoding 'A-Law', leave the other settings alone and hit import.
select the audio, but leave the first second of data alone, the part that isn't maxed out in volume (it's the file header and breaking it will prevent the file from loading).
Go to effect ->tremelo
Set the starting phase to 0, wetness level to 1, and frequency to 0.10, hit ok and let it apply.
File->export, set the type as 'other uncompressed files' hit options and set the encoding to A-Law again, leave the header as RAW, OK and Save, remember to retype the mp4 extension.
Open the video and see if it worked!
You can try other effects as well, most seem to destroy the video too much though, others that work well are changing the tempo slightly, and applying small echoes and fades and different points.

*different encoders have different effects, however flv,x264, and xvid all act very similarly, x264 just happens to be slightly more crazy, if you want less crazy try xvid, if you want a completely different sort of look try mpeg2, if going for mpeg2 ignore applying effects, just open the file and resave without doing anything to it, it goes mental from just the minor data differences, and remember mpeg2s use the '.mpg' extension and muxer, you might want to use PCM audio if it won't let you use anything else.

I like using a single delay over a whole picture on audacity. If you choose the right picture you can get some really nice colours and patterns.




Here I tried using a number of slight variations on the delay to make a gif. I think it might be cool if I use more, smaller itterations and get an smoother running image.

Thanks SA! I was looking for some way to convey something in my illustrative piece and saw this thread. So I made a static image:


And then I used uglitch.com's little plug in to corrupt a gif. (If you go to uglitch.com right now I'm sure you can see my trial and error process with 5 different gifs).


I was having a difficult time trying to get the image to render with the glitches when I glitched it in text edit (I was working with a 300 DPI image, which makes the glitches a lot smaller, apparently) since Photoshop and every other image viewing program I have would just give up and render most of the image as grey. Turns out Safari is pretty good at decoding glitched images regardless. I dragged the image from Safari directly into Photoshop and got my glitched image. Useful!

The short answer is the more colours you use and the more frames, the larger your filesize will be.

Thanks! That's actually my first attempt at video glitching. For this process, I trimmed a longer clip of the Dear Leader, and imported into VirtualDub and exported an .avi with a max i-frame of ten, same for p-frames. I pulled the i-frames out with avidemux, then dropped the video in Premiere to quickly render a .gif. It's only one pass, but it's really REALLY neat.

I experimented with motion tracking a few weeks ago:


After that, I glitched the intro to Dexter's Lab:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pxvtHJOfnc

I then dropped the corrupted AVI on top of the original, and tracked Dee Dee running from Dexter. It created an effect as if she was the only thing glitching, which makes an interesting idea that I'm playing with: confining the glitched parts to specific areas of the video, making only parts of the world seem damaged. I like where this went, too bad it took nearly 8 hours to get it to do what I wanted.

The first two were gifs that I corrupted, the other thing was a still image I made an animation out of.

I broke the gifs a lot too; it took a lot of trial and error. I would make one small change, save it, then see if the gif still worked, and undo the change if it broke. Just changing a single character in the file is enough to cause noticeable glitching though.

I'd stay away from the beginning of the file if you're just using a text editor. Gifs have a bunch of stuff at the beginning like the header and some color information before it starts describing the actual animation. Unless you know what you're doing changing any of the stuff at the beginning will probably just make the gif unplayable.

Ah, cheers, I got decim8 but I wasn't aware of the other two- just grabbed them.

Snapseed is really brilliant. Dscan is really fun as well, even though it's more of a slit scanning than a dedicated glitch app. I did this a while back with it.
