Purgative
**I made a glitch video generator called Purgative, open source, free to use**
Full disclosure: I built this with the help of A.I. I came up with the concept, directed every feature, and made every design decision. I think that's worth being upfront about.
The result is a desktop app called Purgative, a GUI-driven glitch video generator built in Python using tkinter, OpenCV, and NumPy. You drop in source video, pick an aesthetic (broken analog TV, Matrix-style clean digital, Bladerunner grunge wasteland, or a hybrid of both), and it renders a distorted mp4 with music-synced cuts. 19 effects total including datamoshing, pixel sort, code rain, LED grid, CRT curvature, and animated texture overlays. NVIDIA GPU acceleration if you have it, CPU fallback for everyone else.
It's a single Python file, MIT licensed, with install guides for both Windows and Mac.

Would love to hear what effects or features people would want added.
