Creative recipes

Effects combined into a look — rendered with exactly these effects.

Digital Decay

Split the colors, then let the picture melt into its own motion.

RGB Shift + Datamosh

  1. Add rgb.shift and pull red and blue apart.
  2. Add data.mosh after it.
  3. Raise the mosh amount until the picture starts to flow.

Try: Only split the colors on the beat (audio-reactive). · Keep the datamosh short, right at a cut.

Rough Print

A photocopy with spreading ink and grain.

Xerox + Film Grain

  1. Add xerox and set the level.
  2. Add ink.bleed after it.
  3. In the Color tab, turn on film grain.

Try: Use risograph instead of xerox for color. · More ink spread for a wet look.
