02 Post-FX & Video Compositing

Updated: 4 Nov 2026

Start creating. In this chapter, Armin, Notch’s lead trainer, walks you through video processing, one of the most common workflows in Notch.

You’ll build post-processing chains with effects like glow, edge detect, frame difference, halftone and Kuwahara, and see why stacking order matters. Then you’ll go further with video nulls, composite sources, alpha masks and colour grading with LUTs.

By the end, you’ll understand how post-processing works in Notch and be ready to build your own effects.
