About CRTX Lite

CRTX Lite is a simplified version of the CRTX look developed by Plugin LyfeX for After Effects and Premiere Pro. It focuses on core CRT image characteristics and omits the more advanced settings found in the full version. Users apply the effect by dragging it onto footage and adjusting the core controls: scan structure, CRT mask texture, bloom, glow, analog softness, signal noise, and color smear. The plug‑in runs on After Effects releases from 2026 back to CC 2015, and on Premiere Pro versions from 2026 back to CC 2015. The current version is 1.0.2, released on June 5, 2026. No static overlays or complex setup steps are required.

Features

  • Color smear
  • Works without static overlays or complicated setup

Best for
