Even-though this wasn't an I-frame it still can cause the Datamosh effect to not work so every first frame of a new scene needs to be cut out using the method above. In this case you need to manually go to the first frame of the next clip, by pressing the blue button with the single arrow to the right repeatedly until you come to the first frame of the next clip and then select the first frame using the 'A' 'B' method described above and delete it. (Sometimes it can occur that there is no I-frame at the beginning of your next cut in the video but if you save it, the Datamosh effect doesn't occur.

This means there are no I-frames left to jump to. Repeat this process until the blue button with the double arrows to the right doesn't take you to any other frame but the first one of the video (in other words, until pressing that button has no more effect). Press Delete on your keyboard to cut the I-frame out. Now go forward one frame by pressing the blue button with the single arrow pointing to the right.Ĥ. Use the blue button with the 2 arrows in it, pointing to the right, to move to the next I-frame in your video.Ģ. Now we're going to cut out the I-Frames.ġ.
