Club effect

Afterparty Infra

Afterparty Infra is a club lighting look in FRCTL, the browser VJ studio. False infrared: electric blue lows, scarlet mids, pink whites.

Runs live on video, images, a camera or generated art. Stack it with any other effect, and route LFOs, envelopes or any of ten audio bands to its controls so it moves with the music.

What Afterparty Infra does

A false-infrared remap: dark tones go electric blue toward sky, anything with red in it swings to scarlet pink, and the brightest areas turn pale pink-white. Lift sets how much of the top end goes pink-white, and Glow adds a faint rainbow shimmer across the highlights. It sits high-key and pastel next to the darker Club grades.

Using Afterparty Infra

Where it works
Daytime festival and afterparty content where a lighter, washed look fits better than a dark club grade. Warm skin and peach art come out candy pink, which suits DJ portraits and press shots.
With the music
Static until something drives it. A free-running LFO on Lift gives a slow pink bloom across a breakdown, and B9 (air) on Glow lets cymbals ripple colour across the highlights.
Starting point
Blend centre, Glow a quarter, Lift three-quarters, then back Lift off if the whites turn too pink.
