Sample a still image like a time-volume to create stretched scan bands and sci-fi smears.

How it works

Stretch the image through a narrow scan region. Choose brightness, noise, or distance as the control source, then adjust the displacement amount.

Glitch / Slit-Scan

Select the layer to edit Slit-Scan in the Effect Panel. Open Parameters below for individual controls.

Double-click a control label to reset it. Use its function button to add keyframes or a driver.

Control	What it does	Default	Range	Nudge	Animation
Amount	Strength of the sharpening pass.	10	0 to 100	0.5	Continuous keyframes
Amount Unit	Chooses whether amount is measured as a percentage or pixels.	%	Panel-defined	Continuous	Panel-dependent
Angle	Direction or rotation angle for the selected effect mode.	0	0 to 360	1	Continuous keyframes
Axis	Axis setting for this effect.	linear	Panel-defined	Continuous	Panel-dependent
Bilinear	Smooths Slit-Scan source sampling; turn off for harder pixel-art sampling.	On	Panel-defined	Continuous	Panel-dependent
Boundary	Boundary setting for this effect.	clamp	Panel-defined	Continuous	Panel-dependent
Control Source	Control Source setting for this effect.	luma_gradient	Panel-defined	Continuous	Panel-dependent
Noise Scale	Noise Scale setting for this effect.	5	0.1 to 100	0.1	Continuous keyframes
Noise Seed	Changes the deterministic random pattern without changing the other settings.	0	0 to 999	1	Continuous keyframes
Phase	Loopable animation phase for the carrier; animate 0 to 1 for a clean sweep.	0	-1 to 1	0.01	Continuous keyframes
