Line Distortion
Updated: 24 Feb 2025
Add growing lines to an image.
Line Distortion
Method #
This node distorts to an image by generating lines from each pixel, and varying their lengths based on luminance.
Parameters
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
Parameter Details Amount
How strong an effect will be applied to the image.
Rotation
Edit the rotation of the effect.
Sparseness
How close together all the lines are in the effect.
Threshold
The luminance threshold at which a pixel will contribute to the effect.
Line Wave Amount
How much the distorted lines lengthen and shorten in a vertical wave.
Line Width
Width of the lines used in the effect.
The properties control the time at which the node is active. See Timeline for editing time segments.
Parameter Details Duration
Control the duration of the node’s time segment.
- Composition Duration : Use the length of the composition for the node’s time segment duration.
- Custom : Set a custom duration for the node’s time segment.
Node Time
The custom start and end time for the node.
Duration (Timecode)
The length of the node’s time segment (in time).
Duration (Frames)
The length of the node’s time segment (in frames).
Time Segment Enabled
Set whether the node’s time segment is enabled or not in the Timeline.
Inputs

| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Amount | How strong an effect will be applied to the image. |
| Rotation | Edit the rotation of the effect. |
| Sparseness | How close together all the lines are in the effect. |

| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Duration |
Control the duration of the node’s time segment.
|
| Node Time | The custom start and end time for the node. |
| Duration (Timecode) | The length of the node’s time segment (in time). |
| Duration (Frames) | The length of the node’s time segment (in frames). |
| Time Segment Enabled | Set whether the node’s time segment is enabled or not in the Timeline. |
| Name | Description | Typical Input |
|---|---|---|
| Active | Enables or disables the effect. Disabling the effect means it will no longer compute, so disabling a node when not in use can improve performance. | Value |
