I’m fascinated with slitscan imaging.

I may go a little bit deeper into the topic at a later time but for now I just want to share a Windows PowerShell based tool that I wrote to generate slitscan images from a 2D video the most simple way. By dragging and dropping a video-file.

Prerequisites

• You are running Windows with PowerShell 2 (or later)
• ffmpeg installed (and the path env. var set)
• Imagemagick installed with the legacy utilities enabled (and the path env. var set)
• This download of my Slitscanscript v1.1
• Maybe a sample input video (~80MB)

Usage

After you have installed ffmpeg and ImageMagick extract the contents of the Slitscan script zip file into a folder and make sure the are no spaces in the full path to the defaultslitscan.ps1 file and drag-n-drop a video either over the auto.bat or the auto vertical.bat file depending on the orientation the video was recorded in.

Know issues:

no spaces are allowed in the path

Having issues?

If you experience problems – either with the installation of the required tools or the script itself – please contact me, either by leaving a comment below, sending me an e-mail, comment on the linked youtube video or send me a dm on instagram.

This is not only the first release of this script but also the first script I’ve ever release. Please report any issues you run into I’m happy to fix them.
