gradient circle (outlined)
GIF by Maxlabor that modifies several modifications of my "gradient circle" GIF. This version reminds me of R. Crumb.
centrifuge enlargement
Was trying to "fix" an older video by substituting the above GIF for the one I used, which had fuzzy enlargement. These black-and-white fill patterns don't like to have sizes changed -- they go all moire. Even using "nearest neighbor" you have to exactly double the size to keep the pixels square. At least I did.
Without belaboring the details, I was able to capture the above as an .avi, but when I inserted it on the timeline with the original .avi I used for the DVD, I got strange artifacts in the final mixdown to .mp4. Not in the above clip but elsewhere in the video. Without the addition of the above, the .mp4 was clean.
I suppose I could take this problem to Rhizome for it's "refurbishing old tech" clinic. "Hi, I have this video from the dawn of time -- 2006 -- that can't be translated into the current hot social media file format of choice." It sounds pathetic. (I let the video stay as it was.)
