Turn your photos, videos and live camera into glitch art, moving 3D sculptures and visuals that react to sound. KinoGlitch is a creative playground for images in motion.

Start with a preset, then shape it into something of your own. TURN IMAGES INTO 3D ART Transform photos and videos into sculptural meshes with 180+ grid and shape presets. Control depth, density, lighting and glow, then explore your scene from different angles. Add textures and backgrounds to develop your composition. CREATE WITH PARTICLES Rebuild your image with dots, rings, sparks, squares, diamonds or ASCII characters. Adjust particle size, depth and glow to move between delicate point clouds and bold digital textures. LET SOUND DRIVE THE LOOK Make meshes and particles respond to your video's audio or the microphone. In the Effects editor, let audio drive individual effect parameters, or draw custom curves to control how they change over time.
