Install

1. Unzip Compositor_FX_Pack_Blender5.2.zip. Keep the Tex folder next to Compositor.blend: Glitch and Puddle read their video textures from it.
2. In Blender 5.2+, open Preferences > File Paths > Asset Libraries, click +, and pick the unzipped folder. (Or simply append the node groups from Compositor.blend.)

Use

1. Open the Compositor and the Asset Browser, then pick the library.
2. Drag an effect, palette or utility into the node tree and connect Image in and Image out.
3. Tweak the inputs on the node. Most effects animate with the timeline, and every input can be keyframed (e.g. animate Broken Glass's Displace for a shattering impact).
4. Render to see the final result. A few effects can differ in the viewport compositor.

Render passes some effects need

Enable these in View Layer Properties > Passes and connect them to the matching inputs:

• Depth (Z): Outline Edge, Cross Hatching, Fire Outline, Underwater, ASCII (optional)
• Normal: Outline Edge, Cross Hatching, Fire Outline, Rainy Window, HackWave, Scene Transition
• Position: Underwater, Rainy Window, HackWave, Scene Transition
• Shader AOV (object mask): Fire Outline and Warning Glitch. Add an AOV Output node to the target object's material with value 1, add a matching AOV in View Layer Properties, and connect it to the AOV input.

Tips

• Warning Glitch: feed the camera and object world positions into Camera / Object Center. The bar turns from green to red as the camera gets closer than Distance.
• Ripple: Strength is in pixels (try 40).
• Underwater: Depth is in scene units; scale it up for small scenes.
• Palettes: feed any 0-1 value (luminance, depth, a mask) into the Thermal input.
• For footage or images, use an Image or Movie Clip node as the input; effects that need passes can use luminance or a hand-made mask instead.
