Frequently Asked Questions

How do I apply Static Grain online?

Open the Static Grain preset, add your image or video, and adjust the loaded effect layers to suit your source. Preview the result before exporting.

What does Static Grain include?

The stack combines blur, Noise, RGB Shift, repeated sharpening, NTSC, framing, CRT Screen, color adjustments, monochrome conversion, and Duotone.

Why is it called Static Grain?

The saved Noise layer has its grain speed set to zero, giving that noise pattern a fixed character. The image can still change when the source is a video.

Can I change the red palette?

Yes. Edit the final Duotone start and end colors and their gamma settings. Since this layer follows the screen texture, you can change the overall palette while retaining much of the underlying structure.

How can I make the result less harsh?

Reduce Noise strength, ease the sharpening layers, and lower CRT gain. Adjust one stage at a time; several layers increase fine-detail contrast, so a single change may leave substantial texture.
