Kinema

Kinema — Halftone, ASCII and dithering effects on video

Keyframes · MP4, WebM
01 What it is

The screen in motion.

Drop in a video: an editing timeline with effect tracks on top. Every setting animates with keyframes — intensity, scale, zone, position — with curves visible under the clip.

A screen fading in, a circle of ASCII sweeping across, a pattern boiling frame after frame. Export to MP4, WebM or an image sequence.

02 What it can do
01

A breathing screen

The screen scale animated with three keyframes: huge dots tighten into a portrait, then swell again.

02

A boiling texture

The pattern changes every four frames: the screen lives with the tutu’s motion.

Spora · Or sur nuit · ellipse animée

03

A sweep

An oval zone crosses the frame left to right: gold-on-night pattern inside, original footage around it.

04

In characters

Kabukichō at night, entirely in coloured characters, frame by frame.
