|
||
|
||
<h2 id="description">Description</h2>
|
||
<p>Applies a soft, subtle ghosting effect to the video by blending frames over time.<br />
|
||
This creates a trailing, dreamy afterimage that lightly smears motion and adds a supernatural or ethereal visual mood.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2 id="purpose">Purpose</h2>
|
||
<p><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">ghostee</code> is designed for artists who want:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>a gentle afterimage effect instead of heavy motion smearing,</li>
|
||
<li>soft motion trails without strong distortion,</li>
|
||
<li>a dreamy, floating, or spectral visual tone,</li>
|
||
<li>an atmospheric layer for music videos and ambient visuals,</li>
|
||
<li>a minimal, elegant ghost effect that doesn’t overwhelm the footage.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h2 id="how-it-works">How It Works</h2>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li><strong>Frame Blending</strong><br />
|
||
Consecutive frames are blended with diminishing influence, producing a light optical-ghost effect.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Subtle Persistence</strong><br />
|
||
Motion appears to leave a soft residue rather than a strong smear or echo.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Minimal Contrast Disruption</strong><br />
|
||
Highlights, shadows, and midtones maintain structure—only motion is affected.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Encoding</strong><br />
|
||
Output uses global Videobeaux codec settings (CRF, pixel format, preset).</li>
|
||
</ol>

<h2 id="technical-notes">Technical Notes</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Produces mild persistence, unlike <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">frame_delay_pro1</code> or <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">frame_delay_pro2</code>, which provide more extreme temporal manipulation.</li>
|
||
<li>Works especially well on slow-motion or atmospheric footage.</li>
|
||
<li>Compression settings influence ghost smoothness—higher CRF may increase noise within the trail.</li>
|
||
<li>High-motion shots will produce noticeable yet still delicate ghost trails.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h2 id="recommended-usage">Recommended Usage</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Dreamlike music videos or ambient visualizers.</li>
|
||
<li>Supernatural, memory-like, or nostalgic sequences.</li>
|
||
<li>Layered VJ and projection-mapped installations.</li>
|
||
<li>Subtle aesthetic enhancement for drone shots or slow pans.</li>
|
||
<li>Mixing into a visual chain with stronger distortions for hybrid textures.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h2 id="quality-tips">Quality Tips</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>For smoother trails, lower CRF to reduce compression breakup.</li>
|
||
<li>Combine with <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">double_cup</code> for syrupy dream visuals.</li>
|
||
<li>Pair with <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">blur_pix</code> to soften structure while keeping ghost trails intact.</li>
|
||
<li>For more pronounced trails, run <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">ghostee</code> multiple times or chain with <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">frame_delay_pro1</code>.</li>
|
||
<li>Use on well-lit footage for cleanest ghost silhouettes.</li>
|
||
