# xrgb
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
Applies an extreme RGB color treatment that aggressively remixes channel intensity, contrast, and chromatic balance.
|
|
This effect pushes the video into hyper-saturated, unnatural, or neon-driven territory — producing explosive color distortions ideal for glitch, psychedelia, or high-impact stylization.
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
`xrgb` is designed for creators who want:
|
|
- radical RGB manipulation with a single command,
|
|
- intense chromatic shifts far beyond standard grading,
|
|
- neon, glitch, or chemically warped color palettes,
|
|
- an exaggerated look that feels synthetic and electrified,
|
|
- a quick way to break naturalistic color and enter surreal aesthetics.
|
|
|
|
## How It Works
|
|
1. **RGB Channel Rebalancing**
|
|
Each color channel (R, G, B) is amplified, crushed, or redistributed.
|
|
2. **Color Explosion**
|
|
Standard hues may break apart into aggressively tinted regions.
|
|
3. **Chromatic Distortion**
|
|
Highlights and shadows may shift toward extreme primaries, producing:
|
|
- glowing neon edges
|
|
- warped color bands
|
|
- digital-chemical tonality
|
|
4. **Encoding**
|
|
Output is encoded using Videobeaux global settings for codec, CRF, and pixel format.
|
|
|
|
## Program Template
|
|
```bash
|
|
videobeaux -P xrgb \
|
|
-i input.mp4 \
|
|
-o output.mp4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Arguments
|
|
- *(No additional program-specific arguments; uses global videobeaux options only.)*
|
|
|
|
## Real World Example
|
|
```bash
|
|
videobeaux -P xrgb \
|
|
-i myvideo.mp4 \
|
|
-o xrgb_styled.mp4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Program Output
|
|
<video controls preload="metadata" style="max-width:100%; border-radius:8px; margin:1em 0;">
|
|
<source src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c9644cd5-a584-4f0d-ada3-13046e6938a5" type="video/mp4">

## Technical Notes
|
|
- Bright, high-contrast footage produces the most dramatic RGB explosions.
|
|
- Low-saturation footage transforms into hard-edged neon fields.
|
|
- Compression interacts strongly with extreme channel imbalance; high CRF yields noisy rainbowing.
|
|
- Works exceptionally well before glitch modules such as `crossmosh` or `lsd_feedback`.
|
|
|
|
## Recommended Usage
|
|
- Psychedelic music videos.
|
|
- Glitch-art edits requiring aggressive color disruption.
|
|
- Abstract collage or RGB-driven montage.
|
|
- Visualizer loops with electric chromatic energy.
|
|
- Maximalist stylization pipelines that reject naturalistic color.
|
|
|
|
## Quality Tips
|
|
- Lower CRF helps maintain smooth gradients inside extreme color zones.
|
|
- Higher CRF introduces chaotic grain — useful for grunge or noisy RGB corruption.
|
|
- Combine with `slight_smear` for neon-blooming distortion.
|
|
- Apply `blur_pix` afterward for soft neon haze; apply beforehand for sharpened RGB breaks.
|
|
- For a colder palette, chain `steel_wash` after xrgb; for warmer neon, chain `wbflare`.
