Why Neon Cyberpunk Effect Works Here
Live edge-glow, not a static filter
The Sobel edge-glow post-fx recomputes every frame off the actual tracked contours, so the glow follows real movement instead of sitting as a flat overlay on top of the video.
Any color, not just cyan
Cyber Neon ships with cyan by default, but the outline/glow color is a live color picker — pink, green, purple, whatever matches the shot.
Speed vectors included
The preset also turns on speed vector arrows, so fast movement trails a directional glow line, not just a static outline.
Works on webcam or uploaded footage
Same pipeline either way — point a live webcam at yourself for an instant effect, or drop in a pre-recorded clip to process it after the fact.
Record it straight to a shareable file
Record captures the exact composited neon look as WebM or MP4, ready to post without a separate screen-recording step.
Stack it with more presets
Thermal, VHS, Constellation and more are one click away from the same sidebar if you want to compare looks before settling on one.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get the neon effect specifically?
Click the Cyber Neon preset — it sets Blob mode, a cyan color, solid outline, and the Sobel edge-glow post-fx in one click, matching the look on this page exactly.
Does it need a green screen or special lighting?
No — blob tracking works off contour/edge detection on whatever's in frame, in normal room lighting. Higher-contrast subjects against a plainer background track cleanest.
Can I change the neon color?
Yes — the preset's cyan is a starting point. The color picker in the sidebar changes the outline/glow color to anything, live, without leaving the effect.
Can I record the neon effect as a video?
Yes — Record captures the composited output (webcam feed plus the live neon overlay) as a WebM or MP4 file, ready to post.
Does this cost anything or require an account?
No — it's free, runs entirely in your browser, and nothing is uploaded to a server or requires signing up.
