CRT effect

Applies a CRT effect, simulating an old cathode-ray tube television.

The look is built from several parts you can mix together:

  • Scanlines: the Line width and Line contrast control the thickness and visibility of the horizontal lines. Enable Show vertical lines for vertical scanlines instead.
  • Curvature: bends the image as if displayed on a curved glass tube. Set it to 0 for a flat screen.
  • Noise: the Noise and Noise size add animated static over the image.
  • Vignetting: darkens the corners of the screen (controlled by Vignetting, Vignetting alpha and Vignetting blur).

The static and scanlines can animate over time. Noise frequency sets how many times per second the noise refreshes (0 keeps it still), and Interlaced lines speed controls how fast the scanlines scroll.
