## Summary

Overview Sprite Video ASCII converts video into a live ASCII render using WebGL in Framer.

## Description

### Overview

Sprite Video ASCII converts video into a live ASCII render using WebGL in Framer. It is designed for hero sections, ambient backgrounds, retro interfaces, and interactive visual experiments where motion needs a distinctive terminal-style look.

### Features

**Real-Time ASCII Rendering** Convert moving video into animated ASCII output directly inside Framer with responsive sizing and live property control updates.

**Flexible Source Input** Use either Framer-uploaded files or direct **.mp4**, **.webm**, **.ogg**, or **.mov** URLs that allow cross-origin access.

**Advanced Visual Controls** Tune density, character ramps, brightness, contrast, saturation, background color, fit mode, and color treatment for very different moods.

**True Color Mode** Preserve source color in the ASCII output with an adjustable color boost slider for more vivid results.

**Retro Scanline Overlay** Layer in CRT-inspired scanlines with adjustable opacity and spacing for a stronger analog display feel.

**Playback and Quality Controls** Control speed, loop, autoplay, and rendering quality to balance look and performance across devices.

### Use Cases

**Hero Sections** - Build instantly memorable landing pages with animated ASCII motion graphics.

**Portfolio Websites** - Give personal or studio sites a technical, experimental visual identity.

**Music and Fashion Promos** - Reframe short clips into stylized editorial backgrounds.

**Retro UI Concepts** - Create terminal, CRT, and cyber-inspired interfaces with live motion.

### Properties

-   **Source**: Toggle between Upload and URL modes
    
-   **Video File**: Upload MP4, WebM, OGG, or MOV files
    
-   **Video URL**: Use a direct video file URL with CORS enabled
    
-   **Visual**: Group containing Density, Characters, Color, Background, Fit, Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, Invert, True Color, Color Boost, Scanlines, Line Opacity, and Line Spacing
    
-   **Playback**: Group containing Speed, Loop, and Autoplay
    
-   **Quality**: Auto, Performance, Balanced, and Quality modes
    

### Important Notes

-   YouTube and Vimeo page or embed URLs are not supported for ASCII frame sampling
    
-   URL mode requires a direct video file URL, not a page link
    
-   External video hosts must allow cross-origin access or the browser will block frame reading
    

### Customization

Configure the source and styling to match the project.

**Source Settings**

-   Upload a local video into Framer for the most reliable result
    
-   Or paste a direct video file URL from a CORS-enabled CDN
    

**Visual Settings**

-   Increase density for more detail
    
-   Change the character ramp for different texture styles
    
-   Use Fit controls to contain, cover, or stretch the source
    
-   Fine-tune Brightness, Contrast, and Saturation before ASCII conversion
    
-   Enable True Color for full-color ASCII or keep a single-color look for classic terminal styling
    
-   Add scanlines and control their opacity and spacing
