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.
