A full walkthrough of Fringe on real footage, in After Effects, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve.
What Fringe does
Fringe recreates the look of real lens character, the colored edges and gentle warping that come from glass instead of perfect optics. It runs entirely on the GPU as a real After Effects, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve effect, so you get a live, render-accurate preview while you work, with none of the layer stacking or plugin chains the look usually takes.
Drop it on any clip and dial in as much or as little optical character as you want, from a clean modern lens to a vintage piece with heavy color fringing and visible distortion. Every control is animatable, so you can pull the fringing in on a rack focus or warp the frame across a move.

Split red, green, and blue apart toward the edges of the frame for that classic chromatic aberration.

Pincushion distortion
Pinch the image inward at the corners the way a longer lens can.
Lens vignette
Roll off the corners into shadow the way real glass darkens toward the edges.
