What problem does it solve?
Converts video, audio, images, and timed text into visually rich colored ASCII animations, avoiding the slow trial-and-error of building a renderer and tweaking it until it looks cinematic.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Video-to-ASCII Production Pipeline: Decodes input, analyzes features, renders multi-grid character frames, tonemaps brightness correctly, shades with a modular shader chain, then encodes to MP4/GIF/frames.
- Audio-Reactive Modes: Drives visuals from FFT bands, energy metrics, flux/transients, and beat detection for music visualizers.
- Generative + Hybrid Rendering: Produces procedural ASCII animations and overlays audio-reactive effects on video.
Quick Start
Use the ascii-video skill to convert your file by asking an agent: "Create a 1080p (24fps) colored ASCII MP4 from the uploaded video, using an audio-reactive hybrid mode and exporting at production quality."
