Video to ASCII effect - Adobe After Effects Expressions - Creative COW
To add a little more depth to my ascii video I made a second text layer with bold type and sampled the same video with crunched levels to limit the bold type to the darkest areas. You do need to adjust the letter-spacing to align the bold and normal type. Beware that adding a second scripted layer really shows that this is a processor intense expression. ... K, finally got a chance to punch this into After Effects.

September 22, 2020 - After downloading, just make sure the file is either in a directory on your path, or run it from the download directory with a “./” in front, and type “ASCIIMoviePlayer movie_name.mov.” There’s additional detail at TUAW in Terminal Tip: ASCII-ify your Videos. There are websites that generate ASCII still art for you, and was was used in an older AE Tuts tutorial. There was an AE filter Prime (Mac-only) by Digital Trove. A script for the now defunct After Effects plug-in Useful Things, rd_Characterize from Jess Almosol wasn’t ported to expressions.

November 14, 2021 -

Hey everyone!

Would anyone happen to have this script and/or know where to find it?

I've been browsing AEScipts and YouTube to find the best plugin/script to help me with a project I'm working on. My intention is to convert original images and footage into ASCII. I found a script on YouTube that does exactly what I need called "Source Code" by Open After Effects. The promotional video shows that you can find the plugin on aescripts.com, but after days of searching I simply cannot find it!

People in the comments have been asking where to find and some even tried emailing the owner of the channel but with no success.

Here's the link to the promotional video: https://youtu.be/vdSyzno6_Jw

Thanks in advance!

How to make footage look like a computer code - Adobe After Effects - Creative COW
Yes, Mike is right – that style is usually called “ASCII art”. There are several ascii art plugins for after effects, that actually could help you to create stylized videos – “ASCII Generator”, which makes ascii-logos like in old h4x0r “nfo” files – what’s cool about it is that it actually makes text tables so you can animate it with AE’s text animation tools;

To create the effect seen in the video, you'll want to use Adobe After Effects or maybe create it using a image to text generator.
