Effects / Glitch
Chromatic Glitch
The Chromatic Glitch effect separates RGB color channels and offsets them in different directions, creating the characteristic "3D glasses" or anaglyph look commonly seen in corrupted video or vintage 3D films.

Channel Separation Patterns
- Horizontal - Classic red-cyan 3D effect (angle: 0)
- Vertical - Top-bottom split (angle: 90)
- Diagonal - Dynamic angles for unique looks
- Radial - Channels spread from center
Best Use Cases
- Retro 3D - Vintage anaglyph movie look
- Cyberpunk - Neon-drenched aesthetics
- Music visuals - Beat-synced color separation
- Error art - Corrupted signal aesthetic
Tips
- Small separations (2-5px) for subtle effect
- Large separations (15-30px) for dramatic impact
- Animate separation for pulsing effects
- Combine with bloom for neon glow
