## What is DU?

::  DESTROY MOTION GRAPHICS   :::  Transform any video into extreme digital art.  Play on the intoxicating fringes of glitch video with 37 exclusive video filters.  Be creative. Push the boundaries. Legendary music label Detroit Underground presents a totally new tool by the creator of DECIM8, designed to digitally mangle and twist your videos.  DU-VFX is an experimental app for experimental people. The line-crossers, the button-pushers, the ones who don’t fit into basic boxes. 

Load up any video from your camera roll.  Tap the randomize effects button.  Find a VFX filter combination that makes your content POP - or explode into digital fragments of its former self.  Scan through the frames of your video and export any affected frame as a still image.  Activate and arrange the effects stack manually or rely completely on the nature of chaos - the choice is yours.   

• Load any video from your camera roll as source material
• Apply 37 insane video filters in infinite combinations
• Arrange and activate a video effects stack manually
• Blend the glitched-out version with the original in 22 blend modes
• Randomize filters for unique chaos 
• Optionally, parameters can drift and change over time
• Save any effected video frame as a still image

WARNING! THIS APP IS CAPABLE OF COMPLETELY DESTROYING A VIDEO. (You keep the original, of course!) If this doesn't appeal to you, there are LOTS of apps out there to provide all the "safe" effects you could ever want. If you're looking for something more, something new and unpredictable.. capable of making art that's challenging yet beautiful, then you are in the right place.

Note : Currently video rendering must happen while the app is in the foreground.  iOS may kill the app if backgrounded during render.  We're looking into the best way around this.

### 5/5 — いい感じにブチ壊れます。

*2026-07-13*

タイトル通りです。

エフェクトタイプを選び、パラメータの調整（内部調整）はランダムボタン一つで行います。エフェクトタイプにもランダムボタンがあり便利です。
ボタンで効果を得る為フットワークが軽く、ボタン一つでランダムな効果を得られるので毎回新しい発見が得られるのが良きです。どれもカッコよく掛かります。
反面、狙って効果を出したり、気に入った効果を全く同じに再現することは難しいです。

パラメータ細部の調整もできるアドバンスドモードみたいなのがあるといいですね。

バグ報告をします。
課金をして静止画出力のアンロックをしたのですが、静止画出力をしようとするとアプリが落ちます。データも出力されません😭
この点は調査よろしくお願いいたします。

これからも魅力的なアプリの開発頑張って下さい。

◾︎使用環境
iPhone 17 Pro
iOS 26.5.1

### 5/5 — GREAT APP, but needs HOTFIX!!!!!

*2026-05-09*

I really love the app, but the latest update killed the RESTORE function for buying the rendering of a single image. Please find a solution soon, the app is awesome. Thanx!!

### 3/5 — Love it but it shuts down immediately now

*2025-11-19*

I used to love using this app. It really is great but now every time I open it it closes immediately if I delete the app and re-download it it will work for one video. If I try to use it again, it shuts down every time I open it immediately.

### 2/5 — Constantly crashing

*2024-12-27*

Works like 10 percent of the time, most of the time it crashes immediately after opening

### 5/5 — The best!

*2024-05-20*

Thank you for your works ♥️ help me a lot in my arts

### 5/5 — wow, but ..

*2023-10-09*

i give this 5 stars for sure, very cool. my primary reason for writing this is to try and get in touch w the developer tho i can’t seem to find any real means of contact. i deleted the app at one point and after reinstalling can’t seem to find the restore purchase option .. i know its only 99 cent but .. I've already paid, this option should be available. perhaps its hiding in a glitch. pls let me know THX

### 4/5 — Splendid beautiful madness

*2023-08-27*

Nice work, too cheap! Really versatile and interesting, is there a way to tweak the parameters directly rather than randomly?

### 5/5 — Crash

*2023-03-21*

Love this app and have been anxiously waiting for it to appear since it’s mother app DECIM8 many years ago. And just when I started to enjoy it it crashes on my phone and my Mac mini all of a sudden. Please Kris and crew fix this ASAP.

### 1/5 — IPHONE 13+ IMPOSSIBLE2USED- CRASHED IMMEDIATELY

*2022-05-24*

### 5/5 — DU - VFX

*2022-02-19*
