Time as Shape

Video volumes and slit-scan

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Turn a video into a shape. Stack its frames, fan them into a ring, cut through them or keep just a colour. See what happens. Time as Shape is a place to play with video as a three-dimensional object. Bring in a clip or record one. Stack its frames into a volume, fan them into a ring, then move around it and slice through time. Keep the bright parts, the dark parts or a particular colour. Luma, colour and saturation keys remove pixels from each frame, opening up gaps and tunnels through the volume. • Import a video or start with the included sample. • Adjust the length, frame density, time window and transparency. • Scrub through the footage or let it play. • Cut at different angles and pull the sections apart. • Sample a colour directly from your video to make a key. • Try vivid colour, black and white, or your own adjustments. • Record a trail of frames as you move your device through space. • Place a volume in your room with AR and use your device to cut into it. • Save studies on your device and come back to them. • Export videos, stills or image sequences, with different ratios, lengths and camera moves. Dark and light modes. Portrait and landscape. No account needed. Your videos are processed on your device. Camera and AR features need supported hardware and camera access. Exports are silent.
