Effect

Motion Frame Drop

Drop frames for stuttery, stop-motion style temporal sampling.

Cinema and video assume a steady stream of frames. Dropping frames on purpose recreates stutter, stop-motion sampling or a stressed playback pipeline.

Used lightly it feels handmade. Used hard it becomes rhythmic and abrasive.
