Stylize Effects

From tech overlays and print to retro screens and glitches: one click to a whole new look.

One clip, every look. Pick an effect and drag across the picture to compare it with the original.

All stylize effects

Every effect works on any layer, and every setting can be animated.

Tech and screens

  • Tracer: finds bright spots, faces or people in footage and draws boxes, coordinates and connecting lines around them: the tracking-HUD look.
  • ASCII: rebuilds the picture from text characters, up to falling code like in a hacker film.
  • CRT Emulator: turns the picture into an old tube monitor, with pixel masks, a curved screen, glow, tearing and flicker.
  • Modulation Glitch: redraws the picture from glowing scan lines that bend around its shapes, for sci-fi and audio-visual looks.

Print and drawing

  • Halftone: printed dots in black and white, CMYK or two colors, for comic, pop-art and print looks.
  • Illustrator: redraws the picture as pen hatching, like a sketch or an ink drawing.
  • Dithering: reduces the colors to a small palette with a dither pattern, from 1-bit to Game Boy and PICO-8, with ten algorithms to choose from.

Glitch

  • Ultra Glitch: block shifts, color channels pulled apart and smears in short bursts, made for hits on the beat and glitch transitions.
  • Pixelsort: sorts runs of pixels by brightness or hue into long streaks, the classic glitch-art look.
  • Data Mosh: pixels melt and smear along the motion of the footage, like a broken video stream.

Color and light

  • Colorama: maps the brightness of the picture onto a color gradient, for gradient maps, duotones and colors that cycle when animated.
  • Light Rays: volumetric rays from a point or from the edges of a layer, the god rays behind a logo or a title.
  • Lens Flare: an optical flare from a point or from bright areas, in modern, vintage or anamorphic style.
  • Dispersion: splits the colors toward the edges like a real lens, subtle for realism or strong on impacts and transitions.

Elements

  • Electric: electricity crackles along the edges of a layer, for energy, power-ups and sci-fi titles.
  • Fire: procedural flames from a layer, a point or a line, for burning text and elements.
