Description

This effect produces a visual effect overlay on the input image similar to the effect VHS players used to display on cathod-ray tube (CRT) screens when set on pause or rewind/fast forward.




Properties

  • Animate Scan Effects : Toggles to automatically animate and display the scan effects.
    Default : ON
  • Noise Scan 1 : Sets the approximate Y position for the Linear Scan horizontal distortion. Values should be set according to height, 0 being approximately in the middle.
    Default : HEIGHT ÷ 2
  • Noise Scan 2 : Sets the approximate Y position for the Noise scan horizontal distortion. Values should be set according to height, 0 being approximately the top.
    Default : HEIGHT ÷ 2
  • Distortion Scan 3 : Sets the approximate Y position for the Vertical Distortion. As this distortion is automatically animated, this property can be best used to introduce jitter or noise into this animation.
    Default : 0.0
  • Width Linear Scan : Width of the scan-glitch Noise Scan 1
    Default : 0.5
  • Width Noise Scan : Width of the scan-glitch Noise Scan 2
    Default : 0.25
  • Distortion Amount : Sets the amount of horizontal distortion on the entire image. Higher values undulate the image.
    Default : 0.25
  • Grain Level : Sets an amount of grain in the effect. Note that a value of 0 still adds grain into the effect.
    Default : 0.0
  • Grain Effects : Toggles the display of added grain in the effect.
    Default : ON
  • Analog Distortion : Sets a horizontal glitch-like flicker on the entire image. Higher values (>5) make the effect more visible.
    Default : 1.0
  • Bleed Amount : Sets the amount of bleed colors that will be added to the colors of the image
    Default : 1.0
  • Bleed Distortion : Sets a level of distortion to the bleed phenomenon added in the image
    Default : 0.5
  • Grain Offset : Sets an offset for the ghost images created with noise.
    Default : 1.0
  • Bleed Color Left : Sets a bleed color for the left part of the image
    Default : 204 / 0 / 102 / 255)
  • Bleed Color Middle : Sets a bleed color for the central part of the image
    Default : 0 / 128 / 191 / 255
  • Bleed Color Right : Sets a bleed color for the right part of the image
    Default : 204 / 0 / 102 / 255)
