ChromAberration
Posted on 13. Jul, 2009 by Jerzy Drozda Jr in After Effects, Products
Learn to create the effects seen in Magic Bullet Looks. Split RGB channels, simulate chromatic aberration, animate the chaos. All in one tutorial.
Click here to watch the video tutorial
Some time ago I wrote a note on my Facebook Fan Page about upcoming tutorials. I’m happy to announce that the day has come – the tutorials are recorded and all will be released soon. This is the first out of four tutorials that will be focused on recreating some of my favorite filters from a great color correction tool – Magic Bullet Looks.
Back in February 2009 I wrote a blog post about Separating RGB Channels. I thought that it would be a great example of what Adobe Pixel Bender technology can to – it’s simple and quite useful. Useful plugins don’t have to be very complex – it’s quite the opposite - it’s mostly simple and small things that make our everyday tasks easier.
With this tutorial I give you RGB Splitter plugin (CS4) totally for free, but I’ve got something extra for those of you who would like to support me and help me keep this site running.
Download: Maltaannon's RGB Splitter PBK (After Effects CS4)
RGB Channels Bundle that consists off ChromAberration – a Pixel Bender plugin for creating real chromatic abberation, and a nice CE RGB Playground that utilizes the free RGB Splitter in a way that makes it extra easy and fun to play with RGB channels of your footage.
Get RGB Channels Bundle (CS4) for only 14.90 USD

Instead of using Math.abs(), you could’ve just used -= since you already knew it was a negative number.
Jerzy Drozda Jr

True, but that made more sense to me. Logically. If I’d read the code some day later I would scratch my head about that “-” sign. Math.abs() say’s it all. Just a matter of preference. Good suggestion though.

Just picked up ChromAbberation last night. So much nicer than trying to wire up a DIY solution. It supports 32pbc and is incredibly fast!
At that price, it’s ridiculous not to have it a part of my must-have handy tools.

I like what you did with making the channels seperate more the further out from the point-of-origin, it would be nice if we could control the size of the fade the radius if you will, of the point of origin. Right now I’m duplicating and applying a oval mask.
What do you think?
Jerzy Drozda Jr
28. Jul, 2009
That is not the first request like that. I will look into the second edition of ChromAbberation plugin that will have this feature. As for the manual solution – you have to use a mask or a Circle effect with a stencil alpha blend mode – just like in the Spot Focus tutorial.

Still up for Retro Air Jordan little controversy, http://obshestvo.ru/blog/1468Madonna engaged in a censor-shocking kiss with her two young proteges in what appeared to be a weird Air Jordan Max Fusion sort of passing the batonhttp://chenjie23.blogbus.com/– only with tongues. It was during that same show in 2003 that Beyonce made her solo debut performing Jordan 13 Air Max Fusion Baby Boy. She was later joined by her now husband Jay-Z for a duet of Crazy in Love. Video award categories Jordan Spizikes have changed over the years and some just never really stuck.

A description of Italian painting, saying, “Italian artists, the past is always now.” The benefits of Italy is that, did not hide you from now to see the past, history is a relatively quiet way of superposition, maybe that is the spiritual core of Italy.
