!! ENVIRONMENTAL AWARD for the only app to feature 100% recycled pixels from organic lama hair !! VOTED NUMBER ONE most creative app ever in 20 saved simulation theory simulations of simulations! !! HIGHEST GROSSING APP in the history of all underground caverns! !! VOTED NUMBER ONE app in the fourth, fifth and sixth parallel dimensions in your mind! !! WINNER SEXIEST USER experience in 10 horizontal universes! ****!!!!PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU BUY!!!!!***** You need to work for the results to find the magic with this app. If you want a more predictable real-time app than do not purchase this app. There are lots of amazing apps that have realtime glitch filters and FX that provide instant satisfaction this is definitely not one of them. DataMoshing does not emulate glitch it is a type of glitch. We have to break the video frames and then reassemble them in creative ways. If the app was real-time we would be time travelers. That’s the next update. Beam me back Scotty. Old school manual DataMoshing takes hours by hand. This takes seconds. Well aren’t you lucky. Giving Back To Artists: We know how it feels to be a broke artist and to not be able to afford the tools. We are going to be releasing many more video, music apps as well as hardware. We want you to have all the tools! Please email us if you are struggling financially and we will put you on our list to give you all of our products for free or at a discount until you are back up on your feet. What users are saying! “Man after my third mosh I realized that putting probes into animals brains with the intention to read peoples minds is a bad idea. It never ended up working out well in science fiction novels and I read a lot of them! After the fourth mosh I realized that living in a bubble on a toxic barren wasteland in space is not a good idea for mental health! Thanks DAC! You’re a life saver….Literally. Go Doge! -Elon Moshk "I can’t look at my wife’s face again after I saw her face melt ™ Now I am going to therapy three times a day! Thanks DAC for the memories!" -Kanye Westinghausen Mosh jr. "I thought I knew everything until I was humbled after my first Mosh. Now I live on top of a mountain in a cave thanks to Datamosh iOS!" -Quinten Moshintino "Data Mosh for iOS made me get in touch with my inner child. I love yoga now! I am super stretchy and chill! I also look great! Thanks Destroy All Circuits! Namoshte" -Chrissy Karma Moshkin "Great job! Dada Moshio would be proud!" RIP -Ralph Moshio It has taken us almost two years to make this app. It is a labor of love. We honestly didn’t think it would do this well. A big thank you to all the Glitchmanauts everyone that have supported us along the way and have given us countless suggestions to make the app the best it can be. We hope you enjoy it and much as we do. Please keep the suggestions coming. Its called email. Oh yea baby —— > ohhihello@desstroyallcircuits.com This app is dedicated in loving memory to Dada "Pizza Face" Moshio. 1930-1984 RIP. You will be missed.

:: 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.
