Scanlines
Simulates television scanlines, or any effect where you want alternating lines to darken the
image. A variety of parameters makes this an extremely flexible effect that can be applied in
numerous ways.
Appearance
Let you customize the type of scanline effect you want.
 Line Frequency: Lets you choose how many or few lines are superimposed on the
image; fewer lines automatically space themselves to be thicker as they’re uniformly
distributed across the image.
 Line Sharpness: Lets you blur the border between each line, softening the effect.
 Line Angle: Lets you rotate the lines to appear at any angle; the default is 0 which
results in horizontal lines.
 Line Width: Lets you increase or decrease the width of the blanking lines that obscure
the image (which default to black but are tinted by the Color 2 parameter), thus
increasing or decreasing the amount of image showing through.
 Line Shift: Lets you offset the lines being overlaid on the image. Animating Line Shift
lets you create a rolling scanlines effect.
Color
Lets you tint and shift channels of the alternating scanlines created by this filter. Exaggerated,
this can create numerous other stylistic effects.
 Color 1 and Color 2: Color picker and eyedropper controls that let you tint each
alternating set of lines (eyedroppers let you sample a color from the RGB image being
input into the current node).
 Shift Red, Green, and Blue: Lets you offset individual channels.
 Scanlines Only: Lets you see just the scanlines in isolation while you adjust them.
Composite
Lets you choose how to composite the scanlines effect against the original image.
 Scanlines Only: Lets you output an image consisting only of the scanlines patter you’ve
created. Good for creating different kinds of patterned textures and mattes.
 Composite Type: Lets you choose which composite mode is used to blend the scanline
effect into the
Stop Motion
This plug-in is used to replicate the stuttering motion effect found in stop motion animations.
Traditional stop motion animation exposes each frame of the shot individually, while the subject
is manually moved in tiny increments between frames. An extremely labor intensive process,
often individual frames were repeated in a shot to speed up the production which resulted in a
staccato motion cadence.
