Video to ASCII effect

[Elena Ho]

Oh and one more thing… this obviously means you can change your typeface – but make sure it’s a fixed width one.

checked out your mpg, that turned out pretty well…

i think jporter313 was creating an old 80’s (maybe 70’s) early computer image technique often refered to as ascii art, where each pixel is a character that has been defined as a gray scale value, and they are laid out in a grid (just like if they had been typed).

dan ebbert’s ultimately came up with a fairly simple expression that worked very well, check it out in the ae expressions forum.
