The Chromatic Aberration effect simulates the optical distortion where different wavelengths of light fail to converge at the same point, creating color fringing around edges and details in an image.
How it works
Chromatic Aberration works by separating the red, green, and blue color channels and offsetting them from each other. The effect is strongest toward the edges of the frame and creates a radial distortion pattern that mimics lens imperfections found in real cameras.
Unlike the RGB Displace effect which allows for independent control of each channel’s position and scale, Chromatic Aberration creates a more realistic lens distortion effect with a simpler set of controls.
Use cases
Chromatic Aberration is particularly effective for:
- Simulating camera lens imperfections
- Creating emphasis on specific moments in a video
