A visualizer with a flash guard and a reduced-motion mode
Music visuals do not have to strobe. BLOOB has a flash guard that limits large full-frame brightness swings, a reduced-motion mode that follows your operating system, and calm scenes and moods that never spike.
Who this is for
- People with photosensitive epilepsy or migraine triggers
- Anyone running visuals for a room of strangers
- Teachers, venues and streamers who want a safer default
What the flash guard actually does
Every rendered frame is sampled for mean brightness on a tiny 48×27 canvas. When large full-frame brightness changes would exceed roughly three per second, the previous frame is blended in, capping how deep a flash can go. It applies to every scene and it works during recording and export, not only on screen.
Reduced motion follows your system
If your operating system is set to reduce motion, BLOOB starts with beat shake, zoom pump and hype surges already softened. Both that and the flash guard are single toggles in Tune → Studio, so you can change your mind mid-song.
Start from calm
The Chill mood lowers intensity, glow and particle density everywhere at once. Aurora, Nebula and Deep Sonar move slowly by nature, and Auto Cycle can be left off so the picture never changes without you asking. None of this is a medical guarantee — it is a set of controls that let you make the picture as calm as you need it to be.
How to do it
- Open BLOOB and open Tune → Studio
- Turn on Flash guard and Reduced motion
- Set the mood to Chill and choose a calm scene such as Aurora or Nebula
- Leave Auto Cycle off if you would rather nothing changes on its own
Questions people ask about photosensitive safe visualizer
Is it certified safe for photosensitive epilepsy?
No. There is no certification and no guarantee here. The flash guard reduces flash rate and depth; if you are sensitive, keep it on, choose calm scenes and stop immediately if anything feels wrong.
Does the guard apply to exported video?
Yes. It acts on the rendered frames, so a recording or an offline export carries the same limiting as the screen.
Does it cost performance?
Very little — the sampler is a 48×27 canvas, which is a rounding error next to the scene itself.
Is there an automatic warning before a show?
No. If you are projecting for an audience, warn people at the door and leave the flash guard on.
