Time Displacement.
Show different parts of the picture at different moments in time.
Drag to compare. Left: the original clip. Right: the same clip through time.displace, rendered by the app.
What does it do?
Time Displacement takes each part of the image from a slightly different moment, so movement bends, smears and slices across the frame.
Creative ideas
- Bend a person's movement into a wave.
- Slit-scan style slices for music videos.
- Turn a simple camera move into something strange.
How to use it
- Open the Effects tab.
- Under VIDEO FX, click time.displace.
- Choose the map and how far back in time it reaches.
Level: medium. Undo anything with ⌘Z.
