Halftone

Make clean digital graphics feel printed.

Text animations, carousels and stills can look generic. Halftone adds print dots, paper and grain, so they feel organic instead of digital.

Why use it

Clean digital graphics can look like everyone else’s. A print texture makes them feel made by hand.

  • Without it

    Text animations look generic.

    With Halftone

    Printed dots with a little movement give them life.

    See it: It moves
  • Without it

    Stills and carousels blend in.

    With Halftone

    A print texture gets them noticed, and gives them a feel of their own.

    See it: Colour separation
  • Without it

    Graphics look too digital.

    With Halftone

    Halftone gives them character: paper, grain and colours that sit slightly off.

What it does

Four ways to print your footage. Each one sits on film grain and real paper, and both move.

Cloth texture plus halfprint

Colour separation

Ink plates at their own angles, printed over each other. Up close, even the white letters are made of coloured dots.

Cloth texture plus halfprint

Slight character

Nudge the plates apart and colour fringes creep along every edge, like chromatic aberration on a cheap print run. It’s the Misregistration control in Fine Tune.

Every preset

Grain and paper

Film grain sits under the dots, so they wobble like real ink. Then a scanned paper texture prints through.

Detail, 4×

Every preset

It moves

Grain and paper re-roll 8 times a second (6 on Classic 2), the step of a stop-motion print. Your footage still plays at full speed.

Simple first, everything if you want it

A preset and three sliders by default. Tick Fine Tune for every control: dot angle and blur, plate angles, misregistration, paper size and boil, distress, dust, levels and opacity.

Questions

How do I get my plugin after paying?

As soon as your payment is confirmed, the thank-you page shows a Download button, and we email you the same link. Collected Looks also shows its license key there and in the email.

Do I need an account?

No. Checkout asks for your email, and your purchase is tied to it. To download again later, open My plugins, enter that email and use the sign-in link we send you.

Do I get a license key?

Collected Looks comes with a license key for 2 computers. TypeShift, CRT Emulation and Halftone need no key: install and use them.

Why is it cheaper in Nepal?

I grew up in Nepal and I want editors there to be able to afford these tools. So people living in Nepal pay a local price in rupees through eSewa. Everyone else pays in US dollars. If you’re abroad and love the work, paying the dollar price helps me keep making it.
