Generate static noise and distortions that simulate the look of analog broadcast signals displayed on old TVs.
Look for the Analog TV filter if you are looking to apply the same look to a video clip instead.
TV Static is compatible with Final Cut Pro, Motion, Premiere Pro and After Effects.
Presets contain a snapshot of your effect configuration. 7 built-in presets are available.
When you save parameter configuration to a file on disk, this file can later be loaded to recreate the same effect configuration. Presets generated in one video application can be used by the same plug-in running in a different video application.
Working with the Presets MenuShows underscan artifacts in the output. The Underscan Size parameter controls the height of the elements.
Underscan refers to the normally invisible portions of an analog signal that were originally used by TV sets to know when one frame ends and the next one begins.
On by default.
When enabled, the image is distorted sideways during periods of interference. The Amount, Smoothness and Waviness parameters let you control the strenght and appearance of the distortion.
When enabled, the image scrolls up and down within the frame during periods of interference.
The V-Sync: Count decides how many times the image will scroll up and down before settling again:
On its default range of 2 to 3 the image will scroll up betwen 2 or 3 times before settling back to its “in sync” state.
The V-Sync: Clip parameter controls whether the image scrolls up or down a precise number of times (1, 2, 3, etc…) or whether the image is allowed to scroll partially, for example sliding upwards only halfway before snapping back to its normal state.
When enabled, the image scrolls left or right within the frame during periods of interference.
The H-Sync: Count decides how many times the image will scroll up and down before settling again:
On its default range of -1 to 1 the image will scroll left or right only once before settling back to its “in sync” state. The H-Sync: Clip parameter controls whether the image scrolls left or right a precise number of times (1, 2, 3, etc…) or whether the image is allowed to scroll partially, for example sliding leftward only halfway before snapping back to its normal state.
On its default setting of Start on, interference is set to immediately affect the signal. The effect alternates between periods where the image is subject to interference, and periods when the image is undisturbed.
Interference lasts for a period of time picked at random in the range defined by the On slider. Similarly, the image is left undisturbed for a period of time picked at random in the range defined by the Off slider. The random durations change every time the state changes from interference to no interference.
The Timing parameter offers the following choices:
The Offset (secs) parameter moves the start of the animation relative to the start of the clip. A positive value delays the start of the animation by the given number of seconds. A negative value moves the start of the animation before the start of the clip.
Turn on to animate the Brightness parameter.
Turn on to animate the Contrast parameter.
Turn on to animate the Saturation parameter.
Turn on to animate the Amount parameter.
Turn on to animate the Smoothness parameter.
Turn on to animate the Waviness parameter.
A number that controls random aspects of the effect.
Click the button to assign a new seed value. When the seed value is changed, the effect uses a different random sequence to produce a different output.
