Digieffects Damage harnesses the destructive power of lame rabbit ears, bad BNC cables, tree branch-obstructed satellite dishes, poorly tracking VHS machines, scratched DVDs, low fidelity security cameras, micro-datarate cell phones...the list goes on.

Blockade: Video acquired by low fidelity devices like cellular phones and PDAs is becoming more commonplace. Blockade makes your clip look like it is highly compressed and being transmitted through a very bandwidth-limited pipe. Areas of subtle colour subsample aliasing blocks blending with frame stuttering mimic low data rate rate video acquisition devices. Essential for simulating internet based micro cam display or personal video communication.

Artifact: Developed to create digital defects, Artifact simulates lost DCT blocks and frame dropping, most often seen when a digital video file suffers from corruption or a satellite feed is hampered by weather. If you've ever experienced these kinds of defects, you'll instantly recognise them. Make sure you warn clients and your house engineer that it's only an effect.

Interference: If it's television you want, traditionally you'll need some sort of interlaced field scanning to achieve that sense of broadcast video. Interference creates the look of interlaced video fields, even on progressive footage or still images, adding noise, colorisation and offset separately for each field. Interference will make any footage superimposed on CRTs in your scenes instantly more credible.

Skew: This effect was named after a VTR control of the same name and for those of you who know what control that is, be careful about acknowledging it, as you may be dating yourself. The never-ending quest to aim the rabbit ears so that the television show looks as good once you're in your chair as it did when your hands were attached to the antenna is fast fading into the lore of old. That valuable (if under-appreciated) look is preserved in Skew. Uniquely analog/broadcast image badness like noise, image shearing, ghosts... it's all there. The DTV revolution would eliminate these sorts of problems.

Please Note: Digieffects software plug-ins support Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro and Autodesk Combustion. All of our software is cross-platform and when customers purchase a Digieffects application the serial number can be used on either a Mac or Windows operating system (or both at the same time).
