1.61PREVIEWS
1.61 is coming. Here is what it looks like.
Screenshots of version 1.61, taken in the software itself, on its demo projects, untouched. It can't be downloaded yet: the online version is still 1.59.0, and the subscription will include 1.61 as soon as it's out.
SPACES
ROTO, GLITCH, AUDIO
Each top tab has its own living icon and panel: the roto / tracking workshop, the glitch lab, mixing or the pedalboard. The effects inspector is more compact.
THEMES
Matrix and Cyberpunk
Two new animated themes, next to CYPLOS and Futuristic neon. With reduced animations, their backdrop stays still.
TEMPO
Effects synced to the BPM
The tempo detected to a tenth of a BPM, the LED on the grid, every rhythmic effect synced in one click, a marker at each bar.
TIMELINE
The sound under the cursor
Holding the playhead, you hear the sound at that point (optional). Clearly visible color labels, a silent rhythm ribbon when there's no sound, a clean status bar in one click.
LANGUAGES · FIXES
EN, PL, and two fewer bugs
The whole interface in English and Polish. Knobs finally reach both ends, and DEMOS, HELP or ENTER no longer freeze the software with independent windows.
01WHAT'S NEW
Versions 1.60 and 1.61 turn sound into glitch material.
Coming soon in CYPLOS Studio, with 1.60 then 1.61 (see the previews): a whole sound design station — synthesized sounds, glitch variants of your own sounds, a real-time granular processor, a spectral lab and loudness to broadcast standards. On the image side, the Cyberpunk-style title glitch and neon trails. Meanwhile, version 1.59 is ready to download, and on this site two workshops can be tried right now, image and sound.
COMING SOON · 1.60
The Sound Design station
A window of its own (F12), with a holographic design: the sound designer mutates your clips into glitch variants that you listen to, compare and evolve generation after generation; Nebula cuts sound into grains in real time; the lab hides a message in a spectrogram, hybridises two sounds and spins sound around your head on headphones. All on knobs, all animatable.
Glitch your image
New lab on the site: your photo through seven of the software’s effects, a PNG to download and a real glitch code to paste into CYPLOS Studio.
Open the lab → CYG1Glitch codes
A clip’s whole effect stack in one line of text, to share. Ten ready-to-paste codes in the gallery, rendered by the real engine.
See the gallery → ♪Live audio lab
A BSKA track run live through nine audio glitches: bitcrusher, beat repeat, tape stop, reverse… each with its own animation.
Listen →Release notes
Fifty-nine versions released, from 1.0 to 1.59, then 1.60 and 1.61 on the way. Open one to read its notes.
1.61Coming · dedicated windows, Matrix and Cyberpunk themes, tempo, English and Polish
- Rotoscoping, Motion tracking, Transitions windows and an audio effects pedalboard; reworked ROTO, GLITCH and AUDIO spaces, a more compact inspector.
- Animated Matrix and Cyberpunk themes; tempo detection in the Sound Design station, effects synced to the BPM, markers at each bar.
- Timeline: the sound plays as you drag the playhead, readable color labels, a silent rhythm ribbon when there's no sound; a clean status bar; right-click on a sound clip: its audio effects.
- The whole interface in English and Polish (Preferences ▸ Language).
- Fixed: knobs reach both ends; DEMOS, HELP or ENTER froze the software with independent windows.
1.60Coming soon · sound design, title glitch, neon trails
- Cyberpunk 2077-style title glitch (scrambled letters, sliding slices, flash); Neon Trails cross transition and Neon Burst effect.
- Sound design: eight synthesised artefacts, a sound designer (non-destructive glitch variants, four archetypes, Glitch Pad, evolution by selection), the real-time granular processor Nebula.
- Sound Design station (F12): rotary knobs, A/B scenes, a timbre map of your sounds; lab: spectral painting, hybridising two sounds, binaural orbit on headphones, LUFS loudness and calibration for Spotify, YouTube or TV.
1.59Render graph, GPU crossfade right through export
- Effects described as a graph, compiled once and evaluated without allocation; texture pool: video memory no longer swells.
- The crossfade is composited on the GPU, in preview and on export: about 1.5 times faster (4K transition: 4.4 s versus 6.5 s), byte-for-byte identical to the CPU.
- Fixed: a decoded frame could be thrown away before being picked up, and the render showed its neighbour.
1.57 · 1.58Reliable playback, cached keying
- An effect limited to the keyed subject no longer redoes the segmentation on every frame.
- No more false “Media offline”; hardware decoding no longer switched off wrongly; FFmpeg 8 videos play; BT.601 colours and frame rates misreported by Windows fixed.
- Four render threads instead of six;
cyplos-studio-cli diagnosticwrites a full report of a project on your machine.
1.56AI on the graphics card, person tracking
- ONNX Runtime on the GPU (CUDA, DirectML, otherwise CPU), models loaded without blocking the interface.
- MobileSAM masks to limit pixel sorting to the segmented subject; person tracking (YOLO + Kalman filter) without slowing 1080p60 playback.
1.53 → 1.55Lock-free playback, Vulkan, AVX2
- Lock-free playback between the interface, the sound and the render threads; timeline with flat data structures.
- Vulkan: dedicated compute queue, two command batches, settings as push constants; OpenGL 4.4 persistent mapping; AVX2 compositing; triple buffering on Windows.
- ProRes 422 Proxy proxies, 16-bit PCM audio.
1.48 → 1.52Media library first, shaders never recompiled
- An imported file goes into the media library; the first clip offers to adapt the project to its resolution and frame rate.
- With proxies, the 4K source is no longer decoded while editing; GoPro CineForm proxy.
- Shaders never recompiled (no more stutter the first time an effect is used); Direct3D 11 / Vulkan interop in VRAM; pixel sorting as a compute shader; allocation-free playback.
1.47Stream datamosh, on the fly
- New Stream Datamosh effect: the clip is transcoded in segments to MPEG-4 Part 2 while you edit, and the I-frames at the cuts are dropped; bloom, damaged bytes, motion transfer.
- The source file is never modified; the same frame after any seek.
1.38 → 1.46Background proxies, asynchronous decoding
- Heavy videos detected on import; ProRes Proxy or DNxHR LB proxies transcoded in the background; ring cache around the playhead.
- Asynchronous decoding: the interface never waits for a decoder; I/P/B frame index for fast seeking; YUV → RGB colour in the shader, with each video's colour space.
- 4K export without stalls; temporal effects cached as textures on the GPU; glitches at the video-memory level.
1.30 → 1.37Hardware decoding and the zero-copy pipeline
- GPU decoding on every brand: NVIDIA NVDEC, Intel Quick Sync, AMD AMF, Direct3D 11 (DXVA), VA-API on Linux, with cascading fallback.
- GPU rendering goes to the screen without passing through main memory; video goes to the card in NV12; 37 effects on the GPU.
1.29Broken wavelets, lost packets, broken RLE
- Broken Wavelets (JPEG 2000 corruption), Lost Packets (a live stream losing macroblocks) and Broken RLE Compression effects; Corrupted Stream style.
- Slow effects rewritten: Broken Screen 153 → 31 ms, Directional Blur 288 → 108 ms in 1080p, pixel-identical images.
1.28Stutter-free playback with sound, bug reports
- The image follows a smoothed clock: no more stutter when sound is on the timeline.
- Monitor frame locked (Alt + drag), snap to centre; Help ▸ Report a bug…, with the log and a screenshot if you choose.
1.27Glitch intensity played live
- PLAY THE INTENSITY LIVE: the take is written as keyframes, from the pad or keys 1 to 9.
- Overflow, Shifted Bytes and Block Sort effects; Overflowing Memory style.
1.26Tempo remix, sonification, cracked glass, tearing
- Tempo remix (Clip ▸ Remix au tempo…): the clip and its sound cut on the tempo grid; slices stutter, repeat, play backwards, freeze or glitch.
- Sonification: the image's bytes run through a real audio effect of the software (echo, reverb, vinyl…), then read back as an image.
- Cracked glass (impact, cracks, shards, animatable spread) and Tearing (vertical sync lost, rolling).
- Audio databending and Broken glass styles; Sonified tape recipe.
1.25Shareable glitch codes

Every image below comes out of cyplos-studio-cli effet, the software's command line, applied to the same reference image: a frame taken from video footage, untouched. Drag the line to compare. Further down, the effects in motion and the glitch code gallery are rendered on that same footage.
GLITCH
Pixel sorting
Asendorf's glitch: the pixels of a line sorted between two thresholds. Straight lines at any angle, rays, circles, spirals or waves; the histogram stays identical.

QUICK GLITCH
Fourteen styles, one slider
Worn VHS, lost signal, datamosh, crashed driver, scrambled frequencies, abyss, audio databending, broken glass… The glitch intensity (0 to 100 %, animatable) drives every linked setting in the stack. Glitch the cuts, scatter glitches and tempo remix glitch a whole edit in one go.
ADVANCED MODE
Chaos, under control
Blend over the original, R G B A channels, modulation (sine, square, sawtooth, drift), bursts. MUTATE and TOTAL CHAOS randomise deterministically, and undo with Ctrl+Z.
ZONES
The set breaks, the subject stays
Limit any effect to the keyed subject or background (with or without AI), to a rotoscoping mask, to the near / far of the depth map, or to a tonal zone: highlights, shadows, a hue, what moves, what stays still, the edges.
IN MOTION · VIDEO RENDERS
The effects that live in time
Three seconds of the reference footage, rendered by cyplos-studio-cli rendre: the time-based and animated effects of versions 1.21 to 1.26, exactly as the software outputs them.
NEW · VERSION 1.25
Glitch code gallery
A stack of effects fits in one line of text starting with CYG1-. Copy a code, then in the software's inspector, click COLLER UN CODE (paste a code): the effects are added to the clip, settings included. Share your own stacks the same way with COPIER LE CODE (copy the code). Each video is the code itself, read back by the software and applied to the reference footage.
GLITCH STYLE
Crashed driver
The graphics card giving up: corrupted memory, damaged sensor, channels drifting apart.
GLITCH STYLE
Scrambled frequencies
Lines sent through the frequency domain: scrambled phases, fringes, stepped colours.
GLITCH STYLE
Abyss
The image falling into itself: spinning recursion, moiré, shifted colours.
GLITCH STYLE
Worn VHS
The worn-out tape: drift, snow, colour bleed, a shaking picture.
GLITCH STYLE · 1.26
Audio databending
The image's bytes run through an audio echo: offset ghosts, colours bleeding from one channel into another.
GLITCH STYLE · 1.26
Broken glass
The screen gives way under an impact and loses sync: cracks, sliding shards, a torn image.
RECIPE
Subject in pieces
Only what moves falls apart: frozen bands, memory corrupted in bursts.
RECIPE
Synth 1972
Rutt-Etra phosphor scan lines, RGB ghosts and glow.
RECIPE
Corrupted file
Damaged frequency blocks, lines read back wrong and bytes processed as sound.
RECIPE · 1.26
Sonified tape
The image read like a scratched record, an old TV that rolls and tears in bursts.
Glitch codes arrive with version 1.25; those using the 1.26 effects (Audio databending, Broken glass, Sonified tape) need 1.26.
NEW · ON THE SITE
Glitch your image
Drop a photo: it stays in your browser, nothing is uploaded. Stack the software’s effects, tune them, download the result, then copy the glitch code: pasted into CYPLOS Studio (PASTE A CODE), it renders the same stack with the real engine. You can also paste a code from the gallery to take it apart.

CYG1GLITCH CODE
The preview recreates the effects in the browser; the code is rendered by the real engine in the software (glitch codes: version 1.25 or later). Pixel settings are those of a 1920 × 1080 project.
03CYPLOS DATAMOSH · F7
The original datamosh, at the codec level.
In a compressed stream, a P-frame only describes how blocks move. Remove the keyframe that follows a cut: the motion of the new shot drags the pixels of the old one.
cyplos-studio-cli mosh-codec, CYPLOS Studio 1.26): I-frames removed at the cuts, each shot's motion pushes the pixels of the previous one.- ShotsImported videos play one after another; every cut is a mosh point.
- EncodeFFmpeg encodes to MPEG-4 Part 2, no B-frames, long GOP, one I-frame on every cut. Quantisation from 2 to 31.
- ChooseOn the stream map, one click removes or keeps an I-frame. A P-frame can be replayed N times (bloom).
- MoshThe edited stream is decoded again: AVI recording, MP4 export, or open in the editor.

cyplos-studio-cli mosh-codec projet.cyps sortie.avi --floraison 8.In the editor, the Datamosh effect imitates the phenomenon without a codec, with eight algorithms (ghost, bloom, freeze, reverse, swirl, swap, melt, transfer), keyframes removed at markers or at shot changes, and a mosh map (light, dark, near, far, subject, background). It also works as a cross transition.
04CYPLOS VJ · F8
Play images live.
Two decks, a crossfader, tempo-locked effects, all from the keyboard, and an autopilot that plays on its own, in time. When the night is over, the performance becomes a project to edit.
LIVE
120 BPM
WebGL unavailable: the demo needs the graphics card.
MINI VJ · WEB DEMO
CYPLOS VJ's keys, right here on the site: A Z E R T for the effects, Space to tap the tempo, B for blackout.
- Banks of sixteen slots: a generator, a media file or a timeline clip with its effects. Loop, ping-pong, once, or locked to N beats.
- Decks A and B, crossfader (normal, screen, add, difference…) and master with fade to black.
- Live effects held, momentary or pulsed on the beat or the bar, each with its own amount; + EFFET LIVE adds any effect from the catalogue.
- Autopilot, video stutter (1/2 to 1/16 of a beat) and AUTO ⇄, the crossfader fade locked to the tempo.
- VJ output (F9) for the projector, with a flash limiter to protect the audience.
- Record: triggers, crossfader and effects become a CYPLOS Studio project, clips and keyframes, ready to edit.
05DEPTH SCANNER · 3D PROJECTION · MOTION
Depth in a flat image.
No neural network weighing hundreds of MB: depth comes from cues (perspective, haze, sharpness, keyed subject, light), smoothed along the edges.
DEPTH SCANNER
Nine outputs
Greyscale or colour map (Turbo, Magma, neon, thermal), fog, depth of field, slice, sweep, contour lines, anaglyph, near / far grading. The map also serves as a zone for effects, datamosh and pixel sorting.
3D PROJECTION
The camera walks into the photo
Above, a frame from footage, subject keyed by AI, in vertigo. Ten scenes (floor, corridor, tunnel, relief, keyed subject, depth map…) and ready-made moves: push-in, tracking, orbit, vertigo, float. 50 to 100 ms per frame in 1080p.
MOTION DESIGN
Bounce, elastic, trim paths
Ease In, Ease Out, Overshoot, Bounce and Elastic curves; in and out presets; vector shapes with progressive stroke; letter-by-letter animated titles.
20 GENERATORS
Images without media
Plasma, tunnel, code rain, sound visualiser, glitch layers, camcorder overlay, and a retro interface (error cascade, blue screen, progress bar stuck at 99%) entirely drawn by the software.
06THE WORKSHOP
A real video editor, one that lets you break it.
Multitrack timeline, keyframes everywhere, rotoscoping, motion tracking, AI keying, tempo remix. Five workspaces: MONTAGE, ROTO, GLITCH, AUDIO, EXPORT. Screenshots of version 1.26.
EDITING
Layers, tools, keyframes
Video tracks as layers (blend, opacity), razor, slip, forward select, snapping, speed from 5 to 2000 %, freeze frame, shot-change detection, tempo remix (stutters, repeats, reversals on the tempo grid), 300 undos.
ROTO · TRACKING
Masks that follow
Animated Bézier masks, onion skin, feather and expansion. Sub-pixel trackers: stabilise a shot, make a title follow, blur a face in one action.
AI KEYING
No green screen
U²-Net network run by an inference engine written for the software (SSE / AVX2), about 0.5 s per frame on 4 cores. 4.4 MB model, downloaded once, checksum verified.
TOOL WINDOWS · F1 TO F10
Every tool window detaches, just like the panels.
07AUDIO
Sound gets glitched too.
- Mixer: one strip per track (fader in dB, pan, mute, solo, VU meter) and a master bus.
- 19 audio effects you can animate: equaliser, filter, compressor, echo, reverb, chorus, limiter, chopper…
- 10 audio glitches: beat repeat, tape stop, reverse, granular cloud, digital dropouts, worn tape, ring modulator, glitch pitch shift, scratched vinyl, broken echo.
- Try it on the right: a BSKA track run live through effects close to the software’s, recreated in your browser.
- Tempo detected from the beats; the video glitch can follow the sound level or its attacks.
- Playback and export give the same sound, whatever the audio block size (tested effect by effect).

08PHOTOSENSITIVITY · ACCESSIBILITY
Glitch flashes. The software watches.
Glitch easily produces flashes that can trigger seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy. CYPLOS Studio finds them and softens them.
F6 · ANALYSIS
Risky passages
More than three flashes per second, or saturated red flashes (based on WCAG 2.3.1): the list, jump to them, turn them into markers. Export warns you if any are left.
FLASH LIMITER
A flicker becomes a pulse
Each area of the image stays close to the average of the previous frames, colours and detail preserved. On the monitor, on export, on the command line, and on the VJ output.
INTERFACE
For everyone
Size from 75 to 200%, high contrast, colour-blind palette (Okabe-Ito), reduced motion, keyboard navigation, spoken announcements, SRT subtitles imported and exported.
BNCBENCHMARK
Measured on a real workstation: RTX 3060, i9-10900K.
The figures below come from the publisher's editing workstation, with a real project: 4K at 60 frames per second, a 3.71 GB H.264 source, 2 min 26 s, nine clips. Measured on, on version 1.57.8, with the software's own measurement tools. Nothing is rounded in the software's favor. 1.61 hasn't been measured on this workstation yet: these figures will be updated when it's released.

The project's full frame rate, held from start to end (60.2 then 59.9 fps measured), with 60 frames ahead. Average render: 2.5 to 5.1 ms per frame.
HARDWARE DECODING · 4K H.264

| 960 × 540 | 10.0 ms | 9.8 ms |
| 480 × 270 | 9.5 ms | 6.4 ms |
At full resolution, the card is twice as fast. In small sizes, its fixed cost per frame (about 10 ms) makes it lose: so the preview chooses on its own, the processor below 0.7 megapixels, the card above. The image is the same, byte for byte.

An unreadable proxy with FFmpeg 8, a frame rate misreported by Windows and six threads beyond the optimum: found on this workstation, fixed in 1.57.2 to 1.57.8, and playback went from choppy to smooth.

INSTALL
Nothing to install
A single native .exe. Windows may show “Windows protected your PC” for recent software: More info › Run anyway. Check the SHA-256 checksum first.
UPDATES
Automatic and verified
At start-up, the software looks for a new version, shows its notes, downloads it, checks its SHA-256 and restarts. A corrupted file is rejected.
REQUIREMENTS
Good to know
Windows 64-bit or Linux 64-bit. A DirectX 11, OpenGL 3.3 or Vulkan graphics card recommended (otherwise, processor rendering). FFmpeg for H.265, VP9, AV1 and ProRes. Reference point: an RTX 3060 with an i9-10900K plays a 4K project at 60 fps (benchmark).
To be fully transparent: the published speeds were measured on a single real workstation (RTX 3060, i9-10900K, benchmark), on version 1.57.8 ; other cards haven't been measured yet. On Linux, playback has no sound output (the mix is exported correctly).
