Replicating an old plug-in effect
Does anyone know of a currently shipping plug-in that achieves this look? It’s Pete’s Plug-in TVPixel. It had sliders for pixel height and super sampling. Sadly, it has yet to make the transition to Intel Mac. For performance issues, I’d rather not run AE in Rosetta.
I vaguely remember seeing a similar plug-in that had LCD, CRT Shadow Mask, and Trinitron presets

You can get a similar effect with the standard effects. Your preferred settings may vary from those I’ve used, but this’ll get you started.
Create a new, back solid (comp size) and apply effects > generate > cell pattern.
Set the cell pattern to “bubbles”, contrast to “600”, disperse to “0.0”, size to about “6.0”. Leave everything else at default. (Try different cell patterns and overflow settings)Pre-compose the layer, then scale to 125% on the X-axis and 300% on the Y-axis.
Place the layer above your footage layer and use it as a luma track matte.
The result isn’t exactly the same, but quite similar. Hope this helps.

[Frank Thomas] “Create a new, back solid (comp size)”
Sorry, that should have read, “Create a new, black solid (comp size)”.
