Slit-Scan Studio lets you create bizarre, fascinatingly distorted movies using three separate techniques:
1) A simulated slit-scan photography technique (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSesvu_uqLo).
2) A method that derives a series of level-based masks from a different image or movie and uses those masks instead of a moving slit.
3) A method that's based on the slit-scan technique used to determine who crosses a finish line first (see http://www.howtospotapsychopath.com/2012/06/26/elastic-athletes/).
In slit-scan photography (aka "strip photography" or "scanner photography"), rather than opening and closing a shutter, you drag a narrow slit across the film from one side to the other over some period of time. Stationary objects look normal, but moving objects become distorted because they are in different places as the slit passes over different parts of the film.
Slit-Scan Studio lets you open a file, choose a slit width in pixels, choose a slit travel direction, and then generate an output movie. It also lets you explore mask-scanning and finish-line-scanning.

crashing

So i have had really good experiences with this application, and up until now no problems with it. Today i was going to use it and it crashed, so i opened it and it crashed again and again. I dont know if it was because of the video or the app itself, please check it out and update it please.
Fantastic

There is simply nothing that compares to this as far as performance, features, and reliability. Admittedly and unfortunately slit-scanning is an obscure art form that is difficult to wrap one's mind around in the first place much less express to others. Unlike similar apps, Trevor Alyn uses common historical nomenclature to describe the functions of each scanning operation, so its clear what does what if you already have an understanding of this practice.The developer is very approachable and happily worked with me to address some bugs and feature requests I made years ago. It is my go-to tool for Slit Scanning.
better luck with After Effects

documentation? user guide?probably works in super specific cases, but a poor fit for anyone who doesn’t fit the unlisted parameters.you’ll get better results and control using Time Displacement in After Effects.
Decent

Bought this about an hour ago and have had fun for creating slit-scan videos from my library. I was worried the app would degrade the 1080p video to 640x480 or something low resolution but it didn't! Which was great. The interface is lacking and to be honest it's not an issue. The live preview as it renders is pretty neat. I haven't found a result I like yet but I'm sure it'll take a few trials to get it a likable effect for each video.However, the dis-ability to control the speed is extremely limiting in terms of options. You can't have a 30 second 1080p video slit-screen from left or right at one or two pixels. I was able to fit in 3. It'd be neat if you could specify the width and the app would adjust the speed or you could have full manual control. It also brought my quad core 2011 Mini to a crawl (with 1080p source).It's a capable and fun app that could use improvements.
Recompiled to run natively both on Apple Silicon and on Intel Macs.
