RGB split
Last updated
RGB split is a Distortion effect.
What it does
Section titled “What it does”Offset the colour channels from one another separately. Or use the wavelength based approach to achieve a smooth colour split.
Parameters
Section titled “Parameters”| Parameter | Control | Range | Default | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amount | Slider | 0 to 200; up to 500 | 8 | Pixels at composition size |
| Angle | Slider | -180 to 180; down to -3600 and up to 3600 | 0 | Degrees |

| Blue | Slider | -200 to 200; any value by typing | 100 | Per cent |
| Colour 1 | Colour | Each channel 0 to 1, scene-linear | 1, 0, 0, 1 | - |
| Colour 2 | Colour | Each channel 0 to 1, scene-linear | 0, 1, 0, 1 | - |

In the Effect Controls panel:
- Matte scales Amount per pixel: white splits the channels the full distance, grey less, black not at all. Invert reads that matte inverted.
What each control does
Section titled “What each control does”- Amount: the amount to offset each channel by, or the overall wavelength split amount.
- Angle: what direction the split should occur in.
- Red, Green and Blue: adjust split scaling per channel.
- Colour 1, Colour 2 and Colour 3: the tints on the channels.
- Wavelength: switches from the three colour channels to a smooth dispersion.
- Samples: how many taps fill the offset while Wavelength is on.
- Mix: how much of the result replaces the original.
- Matte and Invert drive the strength of the effect from another layer’s brightness; see Effects.
