Spectral Slices.

Split the light into slices by luminance, RGB or position.

Drag to compare. Left: the original clip. Right: the same clip through spectral.slices, rendered by the app.

What does it do?

Spectral Slices separates the image into slices — by brightness, by colour channel or by position — and offsets, spreads and rotates them, optionally additive. This demo uses the default settings.

Creative ideas

  • A prism-like colour split on a silhouette.
  • Animated slices with speed.
  • Additive mode for glowing edges.

How to use it

  1. Open the Effects tab.
  2. In the left rail, under VIDEO FX, click spectral.slices.
  3. Pick the slice mode, then offset and spread.

Level: medium. Undo anything with ⌘Z.
