Block Swap by Satori is an advanced visual effects tool designed for After Effects and Premiere Pro, offering precise control over block-based image manipulation, ideal for creating glitch effects, transitions, and dynamic scene recompositions with customizable parameters for both spatial and temporal transformations.
Satori – Block Swap Plugin Features
- Block Swapping: Block size, spread, and count controls create distortion, glitch effects, and transitions.
- Time Shift: Replay all blocks in time with configurable frame counts and probabilities to compose multi-performer scenes.
- Mask Filter: Control where the block swap occurs with masks and that filters by plane threshold and randomization type.
- Multi-Frame Rendering: If rendering objects happen frame by Frame N, then a frame is rendered for N, and your simulation will be at the Nth frame with the transition slowing down.
- Color Channels: Indicate to which color channels (RGBA, r, g, b, a) the effect should be applied.
- Composite Control: Display the complete image or just the changes.
- Randomization: Add variability to effects: apply random seeds to the block order and time shifts.
- Edge Time Mode: Manage frames beyond content borders with Repeat Last, Wrap, and Mirror options.
