📺 Friendly multilateral video toolkit

Break, bend, repair & automate video.

Videobeaux turns focused programs into an artist-led video-processing system—from controlled datamoshing and frame stutter to conversion, extraction, compositing, and chainable workflows.

Built for artists by artists. Feed it an MP4, choose a program, and let the television do something useful—or wonderfully incorrect.

Not one effect. A whole strange workshop.

A real toolkit behind the mascot.

What does Videobeaux do?

Creative damage meets practical processing.

The documentation spans playful image destruction, repeatable editorial operations, media inspection, and automation. The landing page groups those programs by the outcome a user wants—not by a wall of filenames.

The process

Input. Program. Output. Chain it again.

Choose a program, adjust its settings, and connect it to your input and output.

How it works: landscape video input, Videobeaux program television, psychedelic landscape output, and a chain-it-again processing loop
