Bad TV
Version: 1.0 Sign up to be notified by email when a new version of this script is posted
A Pixel Bender Plugin designed to create Realistic Bad TV Distortion based on the algorithm written by Memo Atken. Compatible only with CS4 Win/Mac.
Features:
- Automatically creates distortion based on the input parameters.
- No displacement maps are required.
- Creates Vertical Sync offset which causes the jumpy effect seen in Old TVs.
- Creates scan lines of varied thickness to give a DV Tape effect.
- All the source code along with detailed comments are available.
Usage:
- Apply the effect from Effects > Gutsblow > Bad TV Pixel Bender
- Alt-Click on the Time parameter and insert the expression ‘time’. (Since it’s a Pixel Bender plugin, you have to input time manually.)
- Change the rest of the parameters according to your wish.
You can also use this plugin for Photoshop CS4. To use this plugin in Flash Player, it requires some modifications and if you need, contact me through the ‘Contact’ section from my website/leave a comment.

Hi,
i can’t install this Plug In, whenever i wan’t to apply Bad TV to a layer i get this error message:
“Couldn’t find main entry point for BadTV plugin”
I’m sure it’s my fault, but could anyone please help me?
Cheers, Martin
I think you are using the older version of the plugin which doesn’t work. Delete that plugin and download this newer plugin. This is a Pixel Bender plugin and there won’t be any Entry Point errors.
