ascii-video

You can convert video to ASCII art by processing input through a 6-stage pipeline involving scene composition, tonemapping, shading, and encoding. The Skill requires Python, NumPy, Pillow, SciPy, and ffmpeg to generate customizable colorful ASCII video output.

Yes, you can create audio-reactive ASCII visualizations from audio files. The Skill analyzes audio rhythm and tone to generate dynamic visualizations, and supports hybrid modes that combine video and audio for enhanced reactive ASCII visuals.

Yes, you need ffmpeg and Python along with NumPy, Pillow, and SciPy to generate ASCII video animations. These dependencies are required to execute the 6-stage processing pipeline for input analysis, tonemapping, shading, and final video encoding.

The best way to add timed text or lyrics overlays to ASCII video is using the Skill's built-in text overlay feature. It supports adding timed text or TTS narration directly to ASCII videos, enabling storytelling or explanations alongside the visual output.

Yes, you can generate procedural ASCII animations without any input video or audio. The Skill includes a generative art feature that creates procedural ASCII animations from scratch, requiring no external input files to produce dynamic ASCII video art.

Yes, ASCII video conversion supports color mapping and customizable effects. The Skill applies color schemes and effects during the tonemapping and shading stages of the 6-stage pipeline, allowing you to create visually striking and colorful ASCII video art.
