Tape warp

Stretched tape: the line drift wanders down the frame and the colour lags behind.

Tape warp: a glitch effect on the built-in sample photograph. Computed on your machine right now.

Controls

stretch
How far the rows wander, which is what stops vertical lines from being vertical
slack
The length of tape over which the tension changes. A slowness knob, not a frequency: stretched tape has no period
chroma bleed
Smears the colour sideways on its own. Colour is recorded on a narrower band than brightness and suffers first
dropouts
Share of rows where the head lost contact entirely and the colour went to a white streak
