What problem does it solve?
Producing engaging ASCII-art video is complex and error-prone, but users often just want a fast way to convert their media into compelling, colored character animation outputs without GPU requirements.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Video-to-ASCII & Audio-reactive rendering: Convert video into colored ASCII MP4/GIF (or render generative ASCII visuals driven by audio features).
- Full production pipeline: Builds a multi-stage workflow (INPUT → ANALYZE → SCENE_FN → TONEMAP → SHADE → ENCODE) that outputs real video files via ffmpeg.
- Creative control primitives: Multi-grid character rendering, adaptive tonemapping, and a composable shader/feedback system for cinematic effects.
Quick Start
Use the ascii-video skill to convert an uploaded video file into a colorful ASCII MP4 by describing the desired style and which mode to use.
