About a year ago I saw a music video using this very cool effect. I've always wanted to play with it and was reminded to do so after watching adam deeves' video on time displacement ( vimeo.com/409951 ).

Instead of using After Effects, I decided to see if it was possible to recreate the slit-scan video effect in Flash using my web cam. The video above is the end result and works even better than I hoped.

I'm going to be putting this online soon so everyone who has a web cam can play with it.

Update: I posted it online caseypugh.com/slitscan

    awesome scripting! works like a charm! is there an after effects expression or a specific effect for ae like this?
  • Casey Pugh 7 months ago
    I haven't actually tried it in AE but I think the effect is called "time displacement".
  • dalas verdugo 7 months ago
    The time displacement effect uses a gradient layer to effect (affect?) the timing of each pixel of video depending on the darkness of the corresponding pixel in the gradient layer. There's a tutorial here:

    cowcast.creativecow.net/after_effects/index.html

    Scroll to the bottom, "Displacement Mapping Part 3".
  • Aziz K. 7 months ago
    thanks for the detailed info.
    I'm gonna check it out once I have the time. hopefully I'll get a good result and post it on vimeo!

    this is great casey. you might be interested in golan levin's informal list of slit-scan examples at: flong.com/texts/lists/slit_scan/

    and here's a similar technique i'm using with a custom AIR app i dev'd that's driving Photoshop CS3 Extended via a swfPanel. vimeo.com/444063

    can't wait to see more... ;)

    This is great. I use the effect on your site to see how many times I can roll my eyes before the effect takes place.

  • Alex Itin 6 months ago
    That is too cool

    I'm in love with the effect on the arm.

    Reminds me of horror films from the eighties where they used lates and air bladders: (ummm Alterred States, American Wearwolf in London, maybe Scanners?)
