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. Break a portrait into glowing particles, bend a scene through glass, stretch movement with slit-scan effects or build a look with layers, masks and text transformed by effects. 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. EXPLORE 250+ EFFECTS AND OVERLAYS Experiment with RGB separation, pixel sorting, slit scan, glass refraction, mirrors, tunnels, waves, halftones and more. Combine distortion with 190+ color looks, including Neon, Cyber, Tokyo, Pale and Tint. BUILD YOUR EFFECTS IN LAYERS Choose when effects appear with a dedicated video timeline. Combine two effect tracks over your base look, apply shape masks and add text. Place words before an effect to distort them with the image, or keep them on top for a clean title.
