Automatised post-processing of video using image compression algorithm glitches.

videos

process

For jpg codec, the process is recompressing each frame with 1% less quality than previous compression. In the videos above, we start at 40% and gradually decrease the quality to 1%.

For gif codec, it is much more straight-forward, as we do the process in one pass, specifying the number of colors in the palette.

Python script

try:
   from cStringIO import StringIO as BytesIO
except ImportError:
   from io import BytesIO
from PIL import Image
