Chromatic Displacement

DISPLACE YOUR PIXEL SMOOTHLY SEPARATING OUT THE COLORS.

---

Getting Started

• Drag the Chromatic Displacement effect onto your clip.
• Drag the Displace Amount off of zero 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 the distortions.
• Uniform Displacement toggles whether the Displacement Amount is used to add distortions equally along the horizontal and vertical axis, or-- when toggled off-- offers to Displace X or Y axis 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, redder colors (negative values).
• Spread Quality adjusts the granularity of distortion made by either the Displace Spread or Spread Chroma parameters. Higher values result in more details within the distortions.
