Glitch effect

Time Machine

Every pixel sits at a different moment, so one frame holds several seconds at once.

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.

Controls

Depth
How far into the past the oldest pixels reach.
Time map
Which direction time runs across the frame.
Ripple
Sends waves of past time travelling across the frame.
Chroma
Puts each color channel at a different moment.
Edge
Soft time gradient through to hard cut-off slices.
Speed
Rate of the effect motion. Centre is the authored speed, hard left a tenth of it.
