TV Distortion Bundle

TV Distortion Bundle is a collection of five distortion plug-ins for After Effects and Premiere which help digital media artists create Analog Distortion, Digital Image & Satellite Distortion, Digital Pixel Simulation and Chromatic Aberration with ease. In other words you can simulate TV watching experience from the analog era to the current digital compression era.

The bundle has the following plug-ins.

Data Glitch

Data Glitch is all about the modern day compression glitch artifacts. It creates awesome realistic digital image glitches with total ease. Something you would see during a satellite transmission or a cable broadcast or from a damaged disk. Bad TV plugin is great for analog TV look, but in the modern day you hardly see anything that’s analog anymore. This plugin simulates a realistic digital glitch effect. In real-life most of the glitches occur due to problems in encoding/decoding and sometimes data corruption. This plugin does exactly that. It encodes the data, glitches the data and then decodes it similar to the real life situation.

Main Features:

• Support for YUV and RGB color spaces
• Image compression control with optional image map.
• 4 different glitches: Scan, Block, Offset and Rect.
• Individual control of each glitch with per channel control.
• Per channel random seed control.
• Alpha support for glitch, great for use on type and logos.
• Support for After Effects and Premiere Pro.
• Control over the Glitch pattern.
• Compression Artifacts on the Fly.
• Create Awesome Transitions with Ease.

Bad TV

Bad TV lets you create Analog TV distortion on footage in After Effects and Premiere Pro. You can create out of sync and heavily distorted videos with total ease. Best of all, no displacement maps required!

Main Features:

• Creates scan lines of varied thickness to give a DV Tape effect.
• Creates Vertical & Horizontal Sync offset which causes the jumpy effect seen in Old TVs.
• No displacement maps are required.
• Automatically creates distortion based on the input parameters.
• Manual Time Control if necessary.

Separate RGB

This plugin allows you to move, rotate, scale, blur, blend, fade and distort the RGB channels independently without any hassle of Pre-Comps and layer channels. You can use this plugin to create the popular Chromatic Aberration effect.

Main Features:

• Offset/Rotate/Scale and Blur individual R,G,B channels.
• Create Lens Distortion per channel for easy Chromatic Aberration effect.
• No channel layers/precomps are required.
• Automatically grows boundaries.

Dot Pixels

This plug-in lets you pixelate your image into circles and rings. Highly useful to create LED screen effect or a porous surface effect. Can also be used to create new abstract, artistic version of images and footage. It has optional shading that helps you to simulate spherical and torus objects.

Main Features:

• Pixelates into circles and rings.
• Shading option to simulate spherical and torus objects.
• 32bit Floating Point Support (AE only).

TVPixel

This plug-in lets you achieve a realistic effect of simulating what the image on an LCD screen or tube tv looks like or can be used for artistic effect. You can set the size of the pixel optionally.

Main Features:

• Pixelates into R,G,B Pixels like a real TV/LCD Screen.
• Custom Pixel size parameters.
• 32bit Floating Point Support (AE only).
