Why Edge Detect a Video File?

The Edge Detect video filter acts as a digital stylization tool that transforms standard footage into an architectural abstraction by isolating and emphasizing the boundaries where sharp changes in brightness or contrast occur. By stripping away color, shading, and texture, it reduces a scene to its skeletal geometry, typically rendering the results as glowing, neon-like contours against a stark black background. This effect is frequently used to simulate robotic vision systems, evoke a retro-futuristic "wireframe" aesthetic, or create a surreal, pencil-sketch quality that focuses the viewer's attention purely on movement and shape rather than realistic detail.
