ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Video scratching

Video scratching is like making pictures on your computer move really fast and in different directions, just like when you scratch a record on a record player. You can do this using a special tool called a controller, which is kind of like a remote control.

When you press buttons on the controller, it tells the computer to move the picture forward, backward, or even in circles. You can also adjust the speed and direction of the movement to create cool effects.

It's like you're playing a game with the computer, and every time you press a button, you create a new picture that moves in a different way. And just like a DJ scratches a record and makes music, you can also scratch videos and create your own unique visual effects.
