  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING PIXELATION AND DEPIXELATION ANIMATIONS FOR MEDIA CONTENT
    Publication number: 20160125244
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can detect a trigger to initiate at least one of a pixelation animation or a depixelation animation for a media content item. A set of pixelated images can be generated based on a source image associated with the media content item. Variable durations for presenting the set of pixelated images can be determined. The set of pixelated images can be presented, based on the variable durations, to produce the at least one of the pixelation animation or the depixelation animation.
