pixelate()v4.0.479

Part of the @remotion/effects package.

A pixelate effect that divides the image into rectangular blocks, making each block a single solid color sampled from the source. Works on canvas-based components such as <Video>, <HtmlInCanvas> and <Solid>.

Use it when you want a mosaic or censored look while still controlling effect order through the effects array.

Preview​

Drag current effect onto a layer in the Studio

Example​

MyComp.tsx
import {Video} from '@remotion/media';
import {pixelate} from '@remotion/effects/pixelate';

export const MyComp: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <>
      <Video
        src="https://remotion.media/video.mp4"
        effects={[
          pixelate({
            blockSize:20,
          }),
        ]}
      />
    </>
  );
};
