Good luck and let me know what you find out. Might be a good idea to comment on the YouTube video, that way this discussion can be seen by others and maybe help someone else stuck in your scenario. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. I had a lot of requests for a tutorial for years and finally got around to creating one.

It's not ideal and it's slow going but it's a good way to get introduced into datamoshing before getting into Python or Ruby scripts.I rarely use it these days but most of my early datamosh videos on my YouTube channel were made using Avidemux. Copy more frames and save as 'copy 3', then open 'copy 3' back into Avidemux.so on and so forth. So, if you want to copy more, you will have to save the video as 'copy 2' for example, then open 'copy 2' up in Avidemux and proceed from there. You can review the footage to ensure you found the right file by clicking on the preview button in the bottom right. I think around 40 frames is about what I can get before the program crashes. Just click the add button in the bottom left corner and find what you need. That way you can prevent crashing in the future. If you're copying a single frame, try to keep track of how many times you copy it before it crashes. (It’s important to note that this method only works with version 2.5.4. Next, you’ll need to import your exported video into a video editor called Avidemux, version 2.5.4.

It's annoying for sure, but patience is definitely required. First, you’ll need to export the sequence of video clips that you’ll be tweaking with datamosh effects. Also, are you on Mac or Windows?ĭoes it crash when you are copying or when you save? As I mentioned in the tutorial, it is common for this program to crash if you copy a lot in one go or try to do a lot at once. Which version of Avidemux are you using? I believe older versions like 2.5.6 (the one I used for the tutorial) have less problems.
