//// TEXTMODE FEED

worky’s lo-fi // ANSI dream machine

A local-first creative video corruption and compression-art tool. Turn videos, photos, source sound, and added audio into textmode broadcasts, Material damage, codec art, moving Zones, and strange little H.264 MP4s.

v0.5.0 release details

The desktop update checker opens the latest release record and does not download or install anything automatically. The preserved v0.5.0 release currently has no packaged binary assets.

GitHub's automatic main-branch archive contains the public documentation and site snapshot; it is not the desktop app or current proprietary development source.

LITE DECK

WZRD.VID Lite

15/30/60-second browser chaos cut

A static browser-only tool for local video and image files, with HEIC/HEIF support when your browser can decode it. There is no backend and nothing is uploaded.

Lite is a smaller browser instrument, not the desktop renderer.

//// CONTROL BOARD

Published v0.5.0 control board

These controls are documented for the preserved v0.5.0 historical release.

STYLE + MATERIAL

Combine ANSI/text, chunky blocks, and PUBLIC ACCESS treatment with source-responsive corruption.

Pixel Sorting // Databending // Circuit Bending // Hex Editing // Random Noise B/W
Effect Intensity // deterministic Weirdness rerolls
Style begins at // ANSI Coverage // Style FX Coverage

CODEC ART

Five genuinely different compression and prediction-art behaviors can be enabled together.

DATAMOSHING // spILL! // SKRRT // ShShSHa // FLOWs
Persistent Layer ordering lets you change which codec behavior runs first, next, and last.

SPATIAL + TIMELINE

Build video/photo timelines, mix source and external audio, and Preview the matching 5/10-second full-output slice with Random chronology, transitions, audio, endings, and Loop timing aligned.

Up to three named Zones can use Static, Drift, or Pulse motion with Amount and Cycles; only the five Material effects move.
SKRRT keeps each Zone's saved static rectangle; other codec modes remain Full Frame.
Broad local media import // source + external audio // H.264/yuv420p MP4 + AAC where audio exists
