把视频一键变成“微信压缩100 次后的画质” 你一定刷到过这个视频: 一个视频被微信互传几十上百次后,会变得模糊、发绿、卡到离谱、声音还炸麦。 后来更有人用 可视挖耳勺、老年机 拍视频,效果一样离奇又好笑。 DamageCam — 战损相机 就是从这里获得灵感。 我在试图复刻这种“战损级别压缩”的感觉,让你随时生成同款视频。 核心功能 - 画质压缩强度可调 模糊到认不出 or 轻度处理,随你选择。 - 视频卡顿 一键获得无人机信号丢失的卡顿效果。 - 视频干扰线 模拟老旧设备或信号受干扰时的干扰线,可选横线或竖线。 - 音频炸麦 没错,体验旧货市场的垃圾音响开到最大声的效果。 - 音频卡顿 模仿音频信号中断的卡顿感 - 电子包浆绿色 多次发送后的电子包浆,必须发绿! - 清朝风低饱和黑色 添加仿古影视感黑色,让画面像年代纪录片。 - 复古黄色 添加复古黄色滤镜,让画面直接回到千禧年。 - 完全离线 非AI,视频本地处理,不上传、不联网,视频只存于本地。
