What does it do?
Phosphor Display simulates a screen: CRT, LCD or monitor masks, pixel pitch, scanlines, screen curvature, colour convergence, glow and brightness. This demo uses the default settings.
Creative ideas
- Make footage look filmed off an old TV.
- A large pitch for a visible pixel grid.
- Pair with VHS-style colour and a film look.
How to use it
- Open the Effects tab.
- In the left rail, under VIDEO FX, click phosphor.display.
- Pick the mode (CRT, LCD…), then pitch and curvature.
Level: easy. Undo anything with ⌘Z.
