Film a clip through a decorative glass pane after the fact. The picture breaks into cells, ridges, or tiles, each bending what lies behind it.

Patterns

Cracked Ice gives irregular shards, Glacier a hammered surface, Hexagon a honeycomb, Woven and Waffle regular crossing ribs, and Karatachi the traditional Japanese lattice. Pattern Scale sets the cell size and Relief Depth how strongly each cell bends the image.

Motion behind the glass

The pane stays still and the scene moves behind it, so a person walking past breaks into shifting fragments of color. Slow, colorful footage makes calm background loops; fast motion becomes abstract flicker.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the glass pattern change during the clip?

No. The pattern is generated once and stays in place on every frame, like a real pane, while the picture moves behind it.

Is Pattern Scale in pixels?

It is scaled to the frame: the value is measured on a frame 1000 px on its short edge, so the cell count stays the same at every output size.

What does Dispersion add?

A slight separation of the color channels at the cell edges, the rainbow fringing thick decorative glass shows at its ridges.

What happens to the audio?

It is copied into the export unchanged when the container can hold its codec, and re-encoded when it cannot. A note under the export button says which happened.

Apply a patterned glass effect to images. Choose styles like cracked ice or woven glass, control scale, depth, and tint, then download.

Fluted Glass Video Effect

Refract every frame of a video through ribbed fluted glass. Set flute spacing, refraction force, and vertical or horizontal ribs. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Frosted Glass Video Effect

Put every frame of a video behind frosted glass: soft diffusion, fine etched grain that stays fixed like a real pane, and an optional tint. Set frost depth, roughness, tint strength, and tint color. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Stained Glass Video Effect

Turn every frame of a video into a stained glass window: Voronoi glass cells with lead lines and texture, on a layout that stays fixed while the colors move. Set glass scale, cell variance, lead thickness, and lead color. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Aerochrome Video Effect

Give a video the false-color infrared look of Kodak Aerochrome: green foliage turns red or magenta while skies stay blue, with film grain that moves on every frame. Set profile, intensity, foliage, and red bloom. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Cyanotype Video Effect

Print every frame of a video as a cyanotype: Prussian blue shadows, pale paper highlights, and a fixed paper texture of stains and fibre. Set pigment color, exposure, contrast, and depth. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Emboss Video Effect

Turn every frame of a video into a lit relief, as if pressed into metal or paper. Set depth, light angle, blend, and whether color is kept; depth scales with the output size. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Holographic Video Effect

Lay an iridescent, angle-driven spectrum over every frame of a video for a holographic foil look, with a foil texture that stays fixed like a real sheet. Set iridescence, foil angle, spectral bands, and foil texture. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.
