# recalled_sensor
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
Simulates the look of a malfunctioning digital camera sensor that is defective, failing, or subject to an official recall.
|
|
This effect introduces corrupted rows, unstable color channels, dead-pixel clusters, exposure tearing, and chaotic image instability — mimicking catastrophic sensor failure.
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
`recalled_sensor` is designed for creators who want:
|
|
- the aesthetics of a physically damaged or overheating sensor,
|
|
- horizontal tearing, line corruption, or rolling-shutter breakage,
|
|
- dead-pixel patterns, color-channel misalignment, or gritty digital decay,
|
|
- an aggressive technical-failure look appropriate for glitch, horror, sci-fi, or surveillance themes,
|
|
- unpredictable, chaotic motion artifacts that cannot be achieved through normal grading.
|
|
|
|
## How It Works
|
|
1. **Simulated Sensor Row Failure**
|
|
Horizontal lines may break, misalign, repeat, or shift.
|
|
2. **Color-Channel Corruption**
|
|
Red, green, and blue channels may desynchronize or flicker independently.
|
|
3. **Dead Pixel Noise Injection**
|
|
Bright or dark pixel speckles mimic sensor element burnouts.
|
|
4. **Rolling-Shutter Breakdown**
|
|
Temporal distortions produce jittering horizontal bands or broken scanlines.
|
|
5. **Encoding**
|
|
Output is encoded using global Videobeaux settings for codec, CRF, and pixel format.
|
|
|
|
## Program Template
|
|
```bash
|
|
videobeaux -P recalled_sensor -i input.mp4 -o output.mp4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Arguments
|
|
- *(No additional program-specific arguments; uses global videobeaux options only.)*
|
|
|
|
## Real World Example
|
|
```bash
|
|
videobeaux -P recalled_sensor \
|
|
-i myvideo.mp4 \
|
|
-o recalled_sensor_styled.mp4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Program Output

|
## Technical Notes
|
|
- High-motion scenes produce more dramatic tearing because of simulated rolling-shutter corruption.
|
|
- Bright surfaces intensify dead-pixel bloom and channel misalignment.
|
|
- Compression interacts strongly with corrupted scanlines — higher CRF will exaggerate the effect.
|
|
- Because the distortion emulates hardware malfunction rather than pure software effect, the results may appear chaotic and non-repetitive.
|
|
- Works with any resolution but is most convincing at HD or higher due to visible pixel-grid patterns.
|
|
|
|
## Recommended Usage
|
|
- Horror, sci-fi, or techno-thriller sequences involving malfunctioning equipment.
|
|
- Glitch art and experimental cinema exploring digital decay.
|
|
- Surveillance or found-footage aesthetics that require broken-camera realism.
|
|
- Transitions where catastrophic failure is used as a visual punctuation.
|
|
- Layering beneath `crossmosh` or `overexposed_stutter` for extreme destruction.
|
|
|
|
## Quality Tips
|
|
- Lower CRF if you want crisp corrupted lines; higher CRF if you prefer smearing and noise.
|
|
- Pair with `bad_contrast` for harsher tonal collapse.
|
|
- Combine with `lsd_feedback` or `frame_delay_pro2` to create evolving sensor meltdown effects.
|
|
- If the clip is too bright, pre-process with `gamma_fix` to avoid overwhelming bloom in the corrupted channels.
|
|
- For realistic malfunction aesthetics, leave the effect unchained; for surreal results, chain with other distortive modules.
