Detect changed regions and drag previous-frame pixels through motion as directional smears.

How it works

Temporal Pixel Smear detects changed regions and drags previous-frame pixels
through that motion along an angle. It is sharper and more directional than
Motion Trails, but smoother than block-based datamoshing.

Location

Temporal / Frame-to-frame / Pixel Smear

Controls

Choose Video mode. This effect uses previous frames, so play forward to inspect it.

Actions

Space plays or pauses. Use the timeline to choose a time.
