Pixel Mosaic.
Pixelate the picture into cells, from fine to huge blocks.
Drag to compare. Left: the original clip. Right: the same clip through pixel.mosaic, rendered by the app.
What does it do?
Pixel Mosaic rebuilds the image from cells: size (or separate width / height), strength, grid offset, sampling, colour quantization and alpha. Factory presets include 8-bit, fine and huge blocks. This demo uses the default settings.
Creative ideas
- An 8-bit look with colour quantization.
- Censor-style huge blocks on part of a clip.
- Animate the cell size into a reveal.
How to use it
- Open the Effects tab.
- In the left rail, under VIDEO FX, click pixel.mosaic.
- Set the cell size; try the 8-bit preset.
Level: easy. Undo anything with ⌘Z.
Example preset
