The effect library.
Glitch, kaleidoscopes, tunnels, liquid warps, halftones, lasers and colour grades. Every effect stacks with every other, every parameter can follow the beat, and all of it runs live in the browser.
Glitch
RGB ShiftSimple red and blue channel offset.
RGB DelayOBS-style RGB channel spread with saturated ghost silhouettes.
Glitch BlocksHorizontal slice offsets, scanlines, and digital noise.
Pixel SortBrightness-triggered streaks like a datamoshed scanner.
Pixel DripOne-way vertical pixel sorting that pulls bright columns downward.
Data TrailsNoise-driven directional blur that drags pixels like broken video.
DatamoshMeasured motion vectors drag the held frame around, the way a broken codec does.
Time MachineEvery pixel sits at a different moment, so one frame holds several seconds at once.
RGB Matrix MixerPatches each colour channel into the others against a delayed copy, with the nonlinear blends an analog mixer offers.
Hyper-Chromatic SeparationRGB channels travel through different spirals, pinches, and inflations.
Quantum SmearRandom horizontal line displacement with panicked VHS saturation.
Neural StaticRecursive edge enhancement creates abstract eyes and spiral noise.
Chromatic SortingPseudo-sorts red horizontally and blue vertically from brightness gates.
Slit-Scan DelayTime-offset Y-axis slices stretch and tear moving-looking bands.
VHS / Hi-8Chroma smear, luma grain, bad-tracking band, and a fake date stamp (stronger = more).
Tape DamageHead-switch skew, line dropouts, and rolling frame wobble at high intensity.
Subpixel ShockwaveExpanding chromatic shockwaves with edge displacement.
Deck ModAnother deck drives this one — pushing it, keying it, colouring it, or turning its hue.
Geometry
KaleidoscopeMirrored radial sectors around the image center.
Crystal KaleidoscopeAnimated triangular crystal cells with offset mirrored shards.
Prism ShatterTriangular glass shards with fractured RGB offsets.
Cyber GridNeon perspective lattice projected through the image.
Fractal MirrorRecursive mirrored folds with electric color drift.
Bismuth StairsStepped UV displacement with metallic iridescent terraces.
Amoeba DivisionHarsh cellular noise splits the image into inverted blobby cells.
Blob TrackerFinds the masses in the frame and stakes them out with brackets, glyphs and scattered grid lines.
DMT HexagonsHex tiles rotate and scale independently from image brightness.
Tesseract FoldProjected 4D fold math bends the image inside out.
Mandelbrot TearLow-iteration fractal edges tear and pull UV coordinates apart.
Chaos GridRandomly rotated, flipped tiles in a shuffling grid (respects reduce motion).
CollageLayers the full image on itself as prints at varied sizes and positions; gaps stay the true original (no dim mat). Image-normalized uv preserves aspect.
MirrorFolds the whole frame out of the center ~75% of the source (12.5% trimmed per side); u then v folds, 0–5 steps. Clean fold lines with no center seam blend.
Mirror 2Fills the whole frame from the center ~90% of the source (5% margin per side). 1:1 mirror tiles (no 2:1 squish): each column/row is a full-size slice of the crop, odd segments reversed. 0–5 steps; soft mix on main center seams.
Laser LatticeAnimated diagonal laser grids that bend over image brightness.
Depth displaceEstimates depth from the frame and pushes it into real geometry.
Neon ContoursTraces the picture as nested neon filaments, so tone comes back as glowing rainbow contours.
Neon MandalaFolds the frame into a kaleidoscopic mandala and traces it in concentric neon filaments.
BloombackFilaments swell out of the frame and travel, growing new ones behind them as the picture feeds the bloom.
Tunnels
Vortex TunnelA spinning spiral pull with rainbow tunnel bands.
Spiral BloomSoft repeated spiral echoes blooming from the center.
Gravity FeedbackLast frame swells, spins and drifts back through itself until the picture starts generating its own.
Prism TunnelRadial tunnel refraction with RGB edge separation.
Infinite PortalForward-rushing wormhole with pulsing walls and outward energy streaks.
Warp Particle VortexProcedural particles pulled into a rotating center vortex.
Droste LoopClassic Droste effect: the image contains a smaller copy of itself, which contains another, recursing inward. Continuous zoom advances by exactly one nesting level per loop for a seamless infinite recursion.
Droste TwistRecursive Droste nesting with a per-level rotation so the infinite loop spirals inward.
Rose WindowPuts a mirror inside the feedback loop, so the picture keeps folding back through its own reflection and grows a rose that never settles.
Julia MorphFalls endlessly into a Julia set while the set itself keeps changing shape underneath the fall.
Mandel DiveA permanent dive into the Mandelbrot set — it falls toward one landmark until the detail runs out, and is already falling somewhere else by the time it does.
Feedback RackA rack of feedback types. Every slider is a different kind of feedback and zero switches it off, so they stack: swell with spin is a spiral, rise with melt is smoke.
Liquid
Liquid DisplaceSlow molten waves that bend the photo.
Acid MeltVertical rainbow drips and viscous image smearing.
Acid SliceHard vertical rainbow slices with digital acid drips.
Ferrofluid SheenTransparent oily sheen and iridescent film across the full frame, with a slow breathe.

Sludge FallsChunky molten blocks cascading in staggered vertical lanes.
Magnetic FluxCurl-noise flow fields that pull the image like magnetic liquid.
Dancing FerrofluidMagnetic dipoles and surface tension pull the image into oily spikes that dance with the field.
Holographic FoilRadial fake-view color shifts with noisy metallic foil shine.
Slime NetworkA living vein network grows out of the bright areas and creeps across the frame.
Chrome ReliefThe image becomes a lit metal surface, its own brightness shaping the topology.
Oil SlickThin-film interference rainbows ripple over noisy thickness maps.
Metaball LavaFloating metaballs melt the image where their fields overlap.
Jellyfish BloomSoft expanding rings invert colors with watery distorted edges.
Warped VinylRecord-like spin with needle drag and noisy groove wobble.
Plasma TendrilsFractal lightning paths pull sampled colors into electric veins.
Fluid InkA real fluid simulation drags the picture around and carries ink through it.
Ripple TankFloats the picture on real water. Detail and movement drop waves in, and they spread, interfere and come back off the edges.
Gray-Scott BloomGrows a live reaction across the frame — cells that swell, divide and eat into each other — seeded by the picture and never quite settling.
Coral GrowthGrows coral that creeps along the picture instead of across it — it branches where the frame is bright and starves where it is dark.
Turing SkinGrows a fine Turing pattern and wears it as skin — the picture keeps its shape but gains fingerprint ridges that push it around as they form.
OozeLong liquid trails that hang off whatever is lit. Nothing runs out of black.
Print & screen
CMYK HalftoneOversized print dots with psychedelic color separation.
Poster DitherBanded color with ordered retro texture.
ASCII DitherLuminance-driven dot grid. Intensity scales cell size, contrast, and gap together.
Paik-Abe ColorizerReplaces luminance with a five-band colour ramp, the way an analog colorizer does.
Phosphor DecayBright pixels bleed outward and fade from white to green to black.
Comic InkNewspaper halftone and bold luma-based ink outlines.
LCD MosaicBlocky cells, subpixel columns, and faint cell borders.
Life BloomConway’s Life played out on the frame — the picture decides where the board starts alive, and keeps striking new cells as it plays.
Cyclic AutomatonEvery cell waits for a neighbour one step ahead of it and then follows. Out of that one rule the frame grinds itself down into great cycling domains with waves rippling out through them.
Brian’s BrainA three-state automaton that can never hold still — every firing cell has to spend a generation refractory, so the board is permanently full of travelling wavefronts.

Velvet NoisefBm sparkle thresholds multiply the image into cosmic dust.
Neon Particle FieldProcedural floating neon particle field with additive sparkles.
Oscilloscope TrailsGlowing waveform scanlines with temporal shimmer.
Light PaintingHolds on to every bright thing that passes, so moving lights draw on the frame the way an open shutter lets them.
Laser Feedback HaloFeedback-based trailing halos around bright stage regions.
Spark BurstBursts of sparks thrown from the bright parts of the picture, falling as they fade.
Luma SwarmA swarm of particles running along the contours of the picture it is given.
Pulse & motion

Flow VizThe measured motion field itself, direction as hue and speed as value.
Motion PushThe picture warps along its own measured motion, smearing where things move.
Only MovingThe picture survives only where it moved; everything still falls away.
Motion InkInk laid down where the picture moves, then carried along the motion itself.
