’ve been messing with datamoshing for a while, but every tool I found either needed a CS degree or spat out cryptic error messages. So I built my own – and it’s **completely local** (runs on your machine, nothing uploaded anywhere), with a clean, Canva‑style interface that literally anyone can open and start using in 10 seconds.

**What it does (in plain English):**

* Drag in clips → they appear as filmstrips on a single timeline.
* Click between two clips → **transition** (they melt into each other).
* Click anywhere on a clip → **bloom** (that pulsating/exploding glitch effect).
* Trim clips by dragging the edges.
* Reorder clips with left/right buttons.
* Hit space to preview, export as MP4 – **with audio** (yes, the audio stutters along with the bloom, so it actually syncs).

**Why it’s different:**

* No “I‑frames”, “P‑frames”, “RIFF”, “XVID” – it’s all hidden.
* One‑click effects, sensible defaults, but you can tweak bloom duration if you want.
* The timeline scales properly (scroll + zoom), so you never lose track of long clips.
* Everything stays on your computer – no cloud, no registration, just a standalone `.exe` (Windows) or you can run it from source.

I’ve been testing it for weeks and it’s stable, but I’m curious: **is this something you’d actually use?** What features would make it a must‑have for you? Should I clean up the packaging and release it properly?

Try the build (I’ll drop a link if enough people are interested) or just tell me what sucks – I’m all ears.

Cheers!

I built a no‑BS datamosh tool – would you actually use this?
