Decades makes footage look like it came from another era. Pick a look and it builds the whole chain that era's picture went through: the camera's frame rate, the lens, the process's color, grain, damage, light leaks and burns, the projector, tape, codec or screen, borders and on-screen text. Tune it with a few macro controls, or load the look into the Custom controls and open up every stage.
The whole menu
All 20 looks
The same shot through every look, as it comes out of the box (the datamosh gets a cut to melt across). Each one is a starting point: Load into Custom Controls opens up every stage.

Questions
What does DISKO Decades do?
DISKO Decades is an effect for After Effects and Premiere Pro: twenty looks from other eras, from wet plate and silent film to VHS and datamosh. Decades makes footage look like it came from another era. Pick a look and it builds the whole chain that era's picture went through: the camera's frame rate, the lens, the process's color, grain, damage, light leaks and burns, the projector, tape, codec or screen, borders and on-screen text. Tune it with a few macro controls, or load the look into the Custom controls and open up every stage. It costs $7.99, paid once, with a free trial.
How do I get the datamosh?
Put 2000s Datamosh on a layer with a cut in it, or on an adjustment layer over the cut. At the cut the new shot's keyframe is lost: the old shot's picture holds, and the new shot's motion drags it along. Mosh At can also start it at the layer's start, or wherever you keyframe the Mosh checkbox on.
Do I need Glitch for the VHS look?
No. Decades carries its own copy of the tape. Glitch breaks a picture in bursts; Decades makes a whole shot look as if it came from that era.
Does Decades work in a linear project?
Yes. It follows the After Effects project's color settings automatically (linear or video), and Pixel Values lets you set it by hand.
Can I get Decades with the others?
Yes: the DISKO Motion V1 box set is every effect for $59.99, against $95.88 one by one.
What is DISKO Motion?
DISKO Motion is a suite of effects for After Effects and Premiere Pro, made by DISKO Labs: DISKO Typetrace (font-aware write-on animation for live text); DISKO Flow (aI frame interpolation for smooth slow motion and speed ramps); DISKO Shutter (real-looking motion blur, added after the fact); DISKO Balance (one click evens out every shot: clean exposure, natural skin, every camera matched); DISKO Match (match a shot's color to any reference frame); DISKO Glitch (52 original glitch recipes plus a full Custom mode); DISKO Inferno (procedural fire, smoke, sparks and heat from any layer); DISKO Unboil (three repair modes in one: steady AI video, clean noisy footage, rescue crushed compression); DISKO Stitch (any text or logo sewn on in thread, stitch by stitch); DISKO Neon (any text or logo as glass neon tubes that power on and flicker); DISKO Decades (twenty looks from other eras, from wet plate and silent film to VHS and datamosh); DISKO Brushwork (footage painted and drawn stroke by stroke, in oil, pencil and pen). Each is $7.99, or the whole DISKO Motion V1 box set is $59.99, paid once. Every effect has a free, fully featured trial.
How does the license work?
You pay once: $7.99 for an effect, or $59.99 for the box set (DISKO Motion V1). We email you a license code tied to your email address; paste it into any DISKO effect and the watermark is gone. One license is for one person, on up to three computers they use. No subscription, no account.
Do the effects need the internet?
Only the purchase does. The license code is checked on your own computer, so the effects work offline: on a plane, on location, on a render machine with no network.
Can I try them before I buy?
Yes. Every effect is fully featured before you buy. Renders carry a DISKO MOTION TRIAL watermark until you enter a license code, and watermarked output is for trying things out, not for delivery.
What happens when V2 comes out?
V1 is yours for good, and every 1.x update is free. V2 will be a paid upgrade, and your V1 keeps working if you skip it.
Can I get a refund?
Try the free trial first: it's the full effect, just watermarked. If an effect you bought won't run on your setup and we can't fix it, email [email protected] within 30 days and we'll refund it. Refunded codes may stop working in a later update.
