Hello, this is Xtal!

In this tutorial, we explore *Expanding Horizons – Wide Lens Fusion FX* in TouchDesigner.

Starting with Lens Distort to simulate cinematic expansion, we integrate Ramp and LFO to create dynamic transitions, then refine the composition with Blur, Edge, Bloom, and Level adjustments. Each step builds upon the last, resulting in a wide-format visual that merges two videos into a cohesive and polished outcome.

This workflow is designed to help you understand how distortion, gradients, and compositing techniques can transform simple footage into a cinematic piece with depth and clarity. Try experimenting with your own sources and color choices to expand the possibilities of this effect.

This workflow demonstrates how distortion, gradient-based masking, and layered compositing can be combined to produce visuals that are not only technically sound but also aesthetically compelling. The techniques here can be adapted to a wide range of projects, from experimental video art to music visuals, VJ performances, and cinematic edits. By experimenting with your own video sources and color palettes, you’ll discover how flexible this method can be for expanding your creative direction.
