Chromatic Displacement

DISPLACE PIXELS ON ONE LAYER WITH THOSE OF ANOTHER WHILE SMOOTHLY SEPARATING COLORS

---

Getting Started

• Drag the Chromatic Displacement effect onto your clip.
• Drag the Displace Amount off 0 to see the effect.

Modify the Effect

• Displacement selects which layer will guide the prismatic displacement.
• Displacement Map Behavior contains three options for positioning the displacement source:
  • Center Map positions the source directly in the center of the frame.
  • Stretch Map to Fit pulls or squeezes the boundaries of the source to fill the frame.
  • Tile Map repeats the source map along the X and Y axis until the frame is filled.
• Displacement Layer Alpha determines if the effect will Use , Ignore , or Cut Out the distortion using any alpha information from the displacement's source layer.
• Soften Displacement Layer blurs the details in the displacement map layer to soften distortions.
• Uniform Displacement toggles whether the Displacement Amount adds distortions equally along the horizontal and vertical axis or, when toggled off, offers to Displace X or Y axes individually.
• Displace Spread adjusts the distance of the displacement effect.
• Spread Chroma creates a beautiful, organic light refraction look by introducing a rainbow spectrum of colors to the displacement effect.
• Chroma Tint shifts the overall appearance of the chroma displacement into either cooler blue colors (positive values) or warmer red colors (negative values).
• Spread Quality adjusts the granularity of distortion made either the Displace Spread or Spread Chroma parameters. Higher values result in more details within the distortions.
