Video synthesizer

A video synthesizer is like a music synthesizer, but instead of creating sounds and music it creates visuals. To do this, a video synthesizer takes visual input, like an image or footage, breaks it down into bits and pieces, and then remixes it using electronic signals. This allows for users to create entirely new visuals, like colorful shapes, animations, and other effects. It's like a mix-and-match toy for visuals!
