Chromatic aberation Plugin??
Hi Guy’s
You might be able to help me, i’ve seen this effect on the more arty documentarys here in the UK and it looks like a combination of Ghost images over the top of the source image but with some kind of chromatic abberation, as if the whole image has been shot through the edge of a thick mirror or peice of glass ??? i’ve even seen the effect on extended news pieces’s so i’m thinking it’s a stock avid plugin but not sure…
Anybody know what this might be, and could it be done in AE or FCP ??
Cheers
Eddie

Genarts has a good plugin for this in its arsenal (and they even have an FCP version), but they are rather pricey. The simple (and free) solution is to separate your RGB channels using the Shift Channel or Set Channel effects on separate, blur each of them with a different amount and then blend them back using “Add” mode.

Hi,
Just thought I’d add that with Mylenium’s solution (separate your footage into 3 comps: Red, Green & Blue, then re-combine them) you can use a range of effects on your individual colour comps to get interesting results, including offset and optics compensation.
In fact you can use this technique with the optics compensation plug-in to correct chromatic aberation from cheap lenses, as well as to introduce it.
