Controls
- RGB split: shifts the red and blue channels apart for chromatic aberration.
- Slices and slice offset: moves horizontal bands sideways like a damaged signal.
- Scanlines: adds CRT monitor lines.
- Noise: adds coloured digital noise.
- Variation: generates a different random glitch pattern.
Combine it with Film grain or Vignette in the stack for an even stronger look.
