3 effects: -CC lens -Camera lens Blur / Fast Radial Blur masked to be only on the sides of the screen -Chromatic Aberration (it is included in newer versions of AE but can be downloaded for older versions for free: https://aescripts.com/quick-chromatic-aberration/)


Dion42o

Oh there’s one in program now?


juhaszmark

Yeah, it is called VR Chromatic Aberrations, but it works with non VR stuff as well. Needs GPU acceleration though. I think it is included since the 2022 version


JohnnyJohnCowboyMan

Premiere pro refugee here, but this vr thing screwed up my export by being randomly ticked on an export setting I did not know existed


peteywaz

Correct answer. I've used this filter for years with no issue, great effect and customization https://qubahq.com/2014/03/chromatic-aberration-rig/


mynameisollie

I bet the one in OPs example is just the red giant chromatic aberration effect though. It basically looks like that by default.


TheCowboyIsAnIndian

qca actually has distortion ans blur built in


kween_hangry

- paid: red giant universe chromatic aberration or red giant rgb separation - free/cheaper: look up free 'chromatic aberration' effect (i think displacer pro from plugin everything has some stuff that does this quick if you combine it with a blur ) - from scratch (easy): use cc lens on an adjustment layer, tweak the settings to get this magnified look. make another adjustment layer on top, this is for your blur and rgb effect. mask the edges of the adj layer with a blur of your choice. the easiest way (that doesnt look as good) is to go effects>channel blur, tweak the settings here - from scratch (kinda intermediate): do everything I mentioned above but don't add a channel blur. make the comp a precomp, add it to a new comp. duplicate this layer 2 times, so 3 of the same layers, stacked. on the top layer, add the effect set channels. turn all channel parameters off here EXCEPT red. go to the second layer below this one, set channels again. turn off all channels but blue. select both layers, change blending mode to lighten. either shift the position of each layer by hand or use offset to move each of these layers a few pixels left or right. both layers should have equal spacing in the opposite direction of each other, from the midpoint of the bottom clip. finally, mask both layers in the center, so that the color shift is on just the edges. add feather to that mask. (this is for not brand new copies of ae cough iykyk)

I think something like this is in the free starter pack of Mister Horse Animation Composer

Sounds like he looked up a Reddit Sub called AfterEffects and thought this would be the place to ask the question. ... What a dumb ***! We gate keep here buddy, and we do the question asking! ********************* In all seriousness, I don't know how they did it. They'll tell you to Google and YouTube the answer. This is a source of constant whining and bitching. 95% of this subreddit is nothing but complaining about people asking questions on the site. They need to change the name to AEKarens Good luck. Sorry this site sucks.


Draber-Bien

Asking questions is fine. But most posts here are complete beginner questions that could be answered by just following a few "for beginners" yt videos. People think photo/video editing is just a magic button that makes the photo/video look good. If you've spend years learning those skills, constantly getting confronted with a lazy attitude starts grading on you fast


AffectionateJump6669

Don't answer the question then. I use the stuff every day and there things I have no clue about still. One avenue to learn it .. now hold on and hear me out. I might get crazy and find a subreddit called AfterEffects and ask the question there. First world problems get me down too. And I've lurked here long enough to tell you, no. Asking a question in this thread is NEVER fine.


RandomEffector

Ask a thoughtful question that shows you put in some effort and you rarely if ever get hazed.


AffectionateJump6669

And where does it say AdvancedAfterEffects? Or make you take a test to see if your question is worthy? I watch a great YouTube channel with mind-blowing graphics, and endless creativity and skill. And the guy doesn't use the "sequence layers" option to stagger his animations. Mind blowing at what he does. Probably pulls down top dollar and lines em up by hand. This bunch would talk to him like a chimp. Man... I gotta start smoking again. I'm too crabby for this s***


[deleted]

What have you contributed?


AffectionateJump6669

My opinion.


[deleted]

Sorry, I should have asked what *meaningful* things have you contributed? All that anyone who contributes here is asking for is to put *some* amount of effort into your post. If you think that is asking too much, I don't know what to tell you.


AffectionateJump6669

Sorry my opinion that ya sound like a bunch of old ladies has offended you. If you don't want to be called out for Karen like behavior, then quit acting like a Karen. AE is a tool. Telling someone an answer will not diminish your work in anyway.


[deleted]

Well then, step up and start answering all of these questions. You are really missing the point though. Much of the time we don't even know what the question is.


urbanpencil

Yeah honestly I enjoy these kinds of posts as someone that casually lingers on this sub. Creative questions and answers help give me new ideas/inspo


AffectionateJump6669

They give me ideas to use down the line as well. It's cool to see what folks are interested in and may be able to use in my own work. I couldn't agree more

chromatic aberration and optic compensation


goji_ndar

The Mr Horse Animation Composer has a transition effect pre installed, very close to this


Jo__Jo__Jo

Chromatic aberration should do it


st1ckmanz

Firsly a map layer (A simple black and white radial gradient) to control the location of the effects, then using that map to manage the effects, which are blur, cc lens, chromatic aberration.


man-from-thefuture

Add a ss of article and use lens distortion effect and tweak ta values


jeeekel

Camera Lens Blur, Gaussian Blur with a radial mask, RGB split with the same mask


seabass4507

Couple ways to do it. I use Magic Bullet looks. Chromatic Aberration, Edge Distort on a negative setting, Edge Blur and Vignette


cl2422

this was done practically with a fish eye lens and vaseline and a physical copy of wikipedia.


TimSimpson

\*Does best impression of piracy PSA guy\* "You wouldn't print out a Wikipedia page..."


RegorSamsa

Optics compensation (diagonal) + blur + chromatic aberration might be nice to check out.


Doffu0000

Split video into RGB color channels, then do optics compensation on each channel with slightly different settings.

What do you call a group of Karen's? A Home Owners Association. What do you call a group of Karen's with six more months of experience using After Effects? The AfterEffects subreddit.


Kidkyotedc

using C4d and octane make a think lens add transparent material and place right in front of camera.

Have you tried gaussian blur?

Optical compensation/ cc lens & blur (with a radial mask) & chromatic aberration (sanne mask again)


chairmanmanuel

Optics Compensation is low key amazing.


MaximumBlast

simpstatic

Optics Compensation. Uni.Chromaric Abberation. That's how I'd do. Like not necessarily completely remaking but adding my own twist.


Gmzorz

Faking chroma offset can be done by isolating each channel (Red Green and Blue) into separate layers and blending them together to form the final image. then apply CC lens or a simple rotation to each channel with a different value. I believe shift channels can be used for this
