- In this tutorial, we explore databending video in Audacity (digital audio editor) and the glitch visuals that can be created. Follow the step by step instructions from converting your video to a RAW video file, to applying audio effects to the data, and on to successfully exporting the databent video from Audacity. Over 50 different examples of varying glitch visuals created from audio effects, single or stacked, are included in this tutorial.
Good luck, have fun, and feel free to post any questions you have below in the comments section. Thanks!
"Databending (or data bending) is the process of manipulating a media file of a certain format, using software designed to edit files of another format. Distortions in the medium typically occur as a result, and the process either falls under a broader category of, or is frequently employed in glitch art." - Wikipedia - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Great tutorial. Awesome to use in places where you might otherwise have chosen the usual datamosh technique
Thanks so much!
fascinating... just what i needed. thank you.
omg this is so cool, exactly what i was looking for thanks!!
You're welcome!
this clip is a glitch art masterpiece itself
So kind of you to say! Thanks for checking it out!!
amazing glitches! they look so much cooler than the fake ones. i really liked the echo and noise reduction, I feel like they would look sweet as fast transitions to a diff clip
Thanks!
Hey I found that if you encode the audio in Avidemux with PCM (uncompressed) instead of AAC, you can databend the audio too without it getting cut off!

Very cool! Thanks for sharing. I'll definitely have to try that out!

@@burntfritter The best formats for that purpose are YV12 and (L)PCM Mono.
@@nostalgeek2872 Awesome. Thanks!
Great video, thanks a lot ! The graphical EQ gives some cool results too !
Awesome. Thanks for the info! I’ll have to check that out.
Wonderful, thanks!
You're welcome!
holy shit this actually works
i might use this technique in my future videos
Haha. I’m glad it worked for you. I definitely spent way too much time on the tutorial to have it just be trolling... thanks for the comment and good luck with the videos!
awesome work!
Thanks!
Wow. This must have taken forever to make. Thank you so much!
Yea, it definitely did. Thanks for your appreciation! I hope it helps. :)
Nice!
I don't know if anyone else had had this problem. I follow the guidlines, but when I export the file, it exports a very small portion (like 5-6seconds) of the original file and the effect is only seen on the last frame, where it eventually stops. Anyone knows how to fix that?
3:56 - Hey mate! If you are usong raw data, there should be no header.... I normally use yuv420p and I don't have to worry about that. My experience is, while you import a picture and change the file, you have got more freedom if you save the picture first in .data or in .raw. After the edit and opening the picture in your favourite tool (gimp or ps:( ) you'll have to select the resolution and the rgb disrtibution (more options). But if you use a video, the header won't just stay at the beggining of the stuff, your delta frames are just going to be messed up. So as far my understanding goes... if I open a 1 minute full hd video as raw data (420p) in audacity, I am going to lose a shit loads of dataspace. but, I can edit the file from the start to the end. If you have a footer and you mess iwth the data, the frame and bitrate wont work out... But you know I just want to understand this stuf stuff and please point out, where, and what I am missing. Great work btw. My favourits are wahwah and trebl.
Looks like you might know more than me… ha. It’s been a while since I’ve worked on anything and might take some reading up on past notes to be of any help. Sounds like you’re on the right track though. Thanks for the info and good luck with everything!
aac faac doesnt appear for me in avidemux
Great stuff.
What version of Audacity are you using in the video?
I installed the latest one and it doesn't have the Export file option :(
Thanks! I used version 2.5 which is older. From what I gather, newer versions don't work the same. I don't have personal experience with the newer versions though.
Just realized you said Audacity and not Avidemux.... my bad. I used Audacity version 2.1.3. Hope that helps. Good luck!
11:34 lol compressor 6 actually compressed the video a little bit
it worked, but im having truble on how to convert avi to other format so i can acces it on after effects, tried to convert it to mp4 through media player, but it just make the video gone, only the audio, can you help? thanks
I don't own After Effects but I do think I know what you're talking about. I had similar issues with Premiere Pro. You have to remember that the video codec of the "glitched" video is still rawvideo (YV12). That's how we were able to get the effects without completely corrupting the file to destruction.
In order for After Effects to recognize the video, we need to change the video codec to something it will recognize. I've tried different methods...first, I tried converting it to h.264 via ffmpeg but that cut out the glitch part and shortened the video. I tried a couple more codes in ffmpeg but still nothing quite worked.
What you'll have to do is open the "glitched" video that has the raw video codec in Avidemux. Left hand column, under "Video", click the drop-down list and select "MPEG-4 ASP (Vxid)". You can leave the audio set to "Copy". You can change the container (file extension) under "Format", left hand column, under the "Audio" encoding option. You can leave it as (.avi) or change it to (.mp4). Make sure you type out the container (file extension) in the file name and that it matches the one selected in the drop-down list. I haven't tried out all the different encoding options, I just got lucky trying this one out first and it worked.
I think the container is less important than the video codec. You can have an .mp4 or .avi file with the same video codec like MPEG-4 for example. Not all containers can work with all codecs. Google a list of video containers or file extensions and the compatible codecs. That'll help you understand what goes with what and give you more options in the future.
Let me know if that works for you. Good luck!
There's a free program called Handbrake that might work, it can convert a lot of formats into something that Premiere or After Effects can open. = ] Just google

HandBrake: Open Source Video Transcoder"
Hi how to do this with compressed video?
What would it look like adding vibrato or VST effects?
Not sure...I don't think I had those effects in my version of Audacity. I'm pretty sure you can download different effects and import them but I've never tried that. Try it out and see what you get. Experimentation is half the fun.
when i try it the vid freezes (i use vlc media player)
i've used this to databend a few different clips and just recently did it again and the clips won't play-- they work before they go into audacity but after export it just seems to become one data-bent frame and no video to play. anyone have advice?
Use an older version?
I swear that I am following the steps through to the end , but every attempt so far has ended with a message telling me that my player doesn't support either the file type or the codec
Hmm maybe try a different player like VLC? Make sure you have the video codec installed on your computer that you are choosing. Some players will only play certain file types with certain containers. It could also be the version of the player you’re using. For instance, I had an older version of VLC that would play pretty much any file even really broken ones. Somehow it updated and then wouldn’t play half of the files it used to. Glitch art is never certain and be frustrating at times when expecting results. Keep at it and I’m sure you’ll figure it out. Good luck!
I can't seem to be able to play my videos, they open normally, with no errors, I feel like it's an issue with the video players I'm using...
they all turn out to be like... 2 frames?
nevermind, i was messing too much with it lmao
Sorry for late reply. Haven't had the internet lately...I hope you figured out the problem. Good luck!
this is a fascinating method, but the results of using avidemex seem to take up 10+ GB, how do i compress? also AAC (Faac) doesn't exist anymore.
I use ffmpeg but you could use some type of media encoding program… Adobe has one… look into ffmpeg though…it’s free and can accomplish a lot.
sorry but my avi is 1.6 gb and lasts 14 hours idk whta to do
Hey, the exporting options have been changed since the making of this video, and now I'm not sure how to export it as a .avi file, because the program doesn't let you just put a suffix onto the file and instead forces you to select from a list of audio formats, do you know how to get around this or what to do at this point?
Unfortunately, I haven’t used a newer version of Audacity so I can’t help. Hopefully someone else will see this and have some tips. It does seem like using certain programs for glitch art will only work with certain versions. Eventually the “bugs” will get “fixed” and we can no longer corrupt files in the same way… it can be temperamental at times but that is part of it… it’s experimental and I definitely don’t have all the answers. I don’t have a deep technical understanding of these things… sorry I can’t give you more assistance. Good luck!
@@burntfritter I found a solution, the exporting option was a bit confusing to fix but I got it, however I haven't tried it on anything but images yet
@@denomaly646 Awesome. Glad to hear you got it figured out!
@@denomaly646 dude, can u explain better how to reach that, please !?
@@lucasvisionvjbitar select export audio, and then save as type "other uncompressed files". Select Raw as header and just put .avi in the file name
I tried this with a one minute video and it takes up 80GB of space in my temp files, so I can't apply the effects or save.
OK - it went down when I saved the session, but the project file is 10GB. WTH
I uninstalled and installed a way older version. It works much better for this
Did everything in this video and I still can't view the export... any idea why it's not working? The only difference is that when I export, and name the file with the extension .avi, that extension doesn't actually show up in the exported file.
I have the same problem
I don't have YU12 (raw) but I have YU12 Encoder
Hmm not sure why that is…? Sorry. Are you on Windows? What version of Audacity are you using?
Omg Michael rosen
any form to compress the video? i got videos with 1.9 gb size
It’s normal for some video files to be that large especially if you start with a high quality video. You could use a number of different programs to convert it to a h264 or hevc .mp4… that should make the file smaller but you might lose quality. I’ve been using ffmpeg but avidemux and PremierePro have also worked. Just depends what software you can get your hands on. Good luck!
@@burntfritter thanks and good video btw
(Alt title) How to bassboost a video.
avi file is exported very heavy from avidemux
Yea, the file sizes can get pretty big depending on what effect you use and the duration of the source video.
you can use windows movie maker to reduce the weight of your final video, you just have to import and export it
hello, do you know how to convert back the avi file in an mp4 withouth loosing glitch or making the file corrupt?
I’d use ffmpeg or some type of media encoder. It’s not always a guarantee that it will work though. Last resort could be a video screen capture. Good luck!
@@burntfritter i found that reimporting video in avidemux and then re-rending from this software make the mp4 not loosing file as happen with adobe media encoder
what is the first effect?
I use Fade Out for the tutorial and then show over 50 different examples, which are also labeled.
bruh, my windows media just send me error.
Download VLC…it works more often due to more supported codecs, I believe.
Can I make my own
I don’t give a shit
avidemux crashes when i say no to h.264
edit: it works now i used 2.8
