Looks motion designers actually ship

No novelty filters. Each effect is one a client asks for by name, tuned to read well on a fast cut and to hold up on a big screen.

Digital Damage on the statue render

Digital Damage

All-in-one glitch: torn slices, displaced blocks, RGB split, colour corruption and sparkle noise firing in bursts.

Lens Flare Builder on the statue render

Lens Flare Builder

Full procedural flare: glow, starburst rays, anamorphic streak, halo ring and chromatic ghosts mirrored through the centre.

CRT Monitor on the statue render

CRT Monitor

Complete picture-tube look: curved glass, scanlines, phosphor mask, glow, misconvergence, flicker and rounded corners.

Retro Pixel on the statue render

Retro Pixel

Retro game screens: chunky pixels snapped to a 4-colour, CGA, EGA or free palette with ordered dithering and outlines.

04Workflow

A sidebar panel, not a node maze

Browse with live thumbnails

The Post Alchemy tab lists every effect with a preview, a short description and search. One click adds the node group and wires it in.

Three stacked effects with their settings panel

Stack, reorder, solo

Your effects form a stack you can reorder, mute, solo, duplicate or randomize. Settings for the selected effect sit right under it, including Mix and an optional mask.

Compare before and after

Toggle a split view in the backdrop to judge a look against the clean frame, then turn it off again.

Post Alchemy pie menu

Everything under one shortcut

Press CtrlAltE for a pie menu with favorites, presets, Surprise Me and compare.

05Works everywhere

Compositor, Sequencer strips and the live viewport

Live in the 3D viewport

With viewport compositing on, the look updates while you move the camera and light the shot. This is the Arcade Cabinet preset on an Eevee scene.

Effect stack on a video strip in the Sequencer

On any video strip

Apply effects to Sequencer strips through a compositor modifier, so finished footage gets the same looks. Copy a stack and paste it onto every selected strip.

06Built for production

Engineered like a Blender feature

Resolution independent

Sizes are measured against 1080p and scale with the render. Preview at 720p, deliver in 4K, and the look matches.

Animated, with a switch

Glitches burst, glows breathe and screens roll by default. Turn off Animate to hold a single frame for stills.

Seed, speed and rate

Every animated effect has its own seed, speed and burst rate, so stacked effects never fire in lockstep.

HDR safe

Glows and screens handle scene-linear values above 1.0 without fireflies, negative colors or clipped highlights.

GPU compositor ready

Pure node groups with no scripts at render time. They run on the GPU compositor and on any render farm.

Mix and mask on everything

Blend any effect back with Mix, or limit it to a region with a mask input, without extra nodes.
