Realistic chromatic aberration plugin. Simulates how light actually bends around edges instead of just shifting RGB channels.Control strength, direction, edge attraction, and more. Can also produce a liquid glass distortion effect. GPU-accelerated via WebGPU. Works in After Effects, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Nuke and other OFX hosts.
Chromabba
Free, realistic chromatic aberration plugin. Instead of shifting RGB channels, it simulates how light actually bends around edges, creating natural-looking optical fringing. GPU-accelerated via WebGPU.
Strength
The main parameter. Controls the overall intensity of chromatic aberration. Crank it up for a heavy prism look, or keep it subtle for realism.
Liquid Glass
A surprising creative use discovered during development. By pushing the parameters beyond their intended range, Chromabba produces a thick, refractive glass distortion. Great for abstract backgrounds, transitions, and experimental design.
Fine Control
Three parameters that work together. Samples controls smoothness (more samples = smoother color spread). Edge Attraction Power determines how strongly the effect follows high-contrast edges. Edge Mode sets how borders are handled: transparent, mirror, clamp, or repeat.
Direction
Choose where the chromatic shift goes: Both spreads color in and out, Inward pushes fringing toward the center of edges, Outward pushes it away. This gives you full control over the optical character of the effect.
