COLORFADE Distortion

Post by Lord_BoNes »

Another question: I like the COLORFADE distortion, but is there a way to reduce the amount of blurring?

Ooh, yeah, parameters for changing the intensity of those distortions would be great :-)

I agree, in general.
However, I'm not sure what you mean by "blurring" in the specific case of that distortion.

The COLORFADE distortion seems to remember a certain number of frames behind the current 1, and then blurs the frames together... looks a lot like the basic form of motion blur. In this case, "reducing the blur" would mean reducing the number of frames that it remembers. The distortion seems to "lag behind" (or very quick moving objects are near invisible) I want to make it so that the effect still works, just reacts faster and makes those objects clearer.

Oh, I see. I'll see about making this tweakable. :)
