|

|
||
<h2 id="description">Description</h2>
|
||
<p>Applies a “busted Game Boy–style digital boss” effect to the video — producing harsh bitmap artifacts, limited 8-bit tonal mapping, flicker, false edges, and unstable block transitions reminiscent of corrupted handheld-console graphics.<br />
|
||
The effect aims to evoke a glitched, retro, boss-fight visual language.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2 id="purpose">Purpose</h2>
|
||
<p><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">digital_boss</code> is intended for creators who want to:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>simulate broken handheld-console graphics,</li>
|
||
<li>add 8-bit or pseudo-Game-Boy stylistic decay,</li>
|
||
<li>impose limited palettes, blocky edges, or sprite-like motion,</li>
|
||
<li>create glitchy boss-battle ambience,</li>
|
||
<li>stylize footage for music videos, live visuals, or retro-digital art.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h2 id="how-it-works">How It Works</h2>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li><strong>Palette Reduction</strong><br />
|
||
The image is remapped into a restricted tonal palette similar to classic handheld consoles.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Block Artifacting</strong><br />
|
||
Block-based distortions mimic corrupted tiles or unstable frame buffer graphics.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Edge Reinforcement</strong><br />
|
||
Contours are emphasized in a way similar to sprite outlines or tile boundaries.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Temporal Instability</strong><br />
|
||
Slight flicker or jitter introduces the feel of a malfunctioning digital system.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Encoding</strong><br />
|
||
Output uses global Videobeaux encoding settings (codec, CRF, pixel format, presets).</li>
|
||
</ol>

<h2 id="technical-notes">Technical Notes</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Compression interacts strongly with this effect — higher CRF may enhance the gritty retro look.</li>
|
||
<li>Because the effect uses hard palette steps, gradients may posterize or flicker dramatically.</li>
|
||
<li>Best used on footage with strong shapes, characters, or silhouettes.</li>
|
||
<li>High-motion content will exaggerate jitter and tile instability.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h2 id="recommended-usage">Recommended Usage</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Retro boss-fight sequences or video-game-themed edits.</li>
|
||
<li>Concert visuals or projection loops with digital-grunge aesthetics.</li>
|
||
<li>Glitch-art animation, collage, and experimental video.</li>
|
||
<li>Stylized narrative inserts to break realism.</li>
|
||
<li>Layering with <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">bad_predator</code>, <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">blur_pix</code>, or <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">hash_fingerprint</code> for extreme digital corruption.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h2 id="quality-tips">Quality Tips</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Lower CRF (higher quality) preserves cleaner tile boundaries; higher CRF increases noisy decay.</li>
|
||
<li>Combine with <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">convert_dims</code> to produce Game-Boy-like square aspect ratios.</li>
|
||
<li>Pre-apply <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">gamma_fix</code> for more even tonal distribution before palette reduction.</li>
|
||
<li>If the effect feels too clean, pair with <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">bad_animation</code> for extra jitter or cadence disruption.</li>
|
||
<li>Chain before heavy compression if you want the compression to participate in the aesthetic.</li>
|
||
</ul>
