The first freeframe I worked with was called TVPixel. This is a very interesting effect and must be used appropriately to be aesthetically pleasing. It basically puts a "brick-wall" looking grid on top of the video. This in turn makes the video very dark so it might be a good idea to add an HSL adjust plug-in to the stage. This effect might be best to put on top of very bright and flashy videos if you are wanting to tone down to intensity of a psychedelic video or maybe make it a little more mysterious.
The second freeframe I worked with was Chromium. This effect had the opposite effect as the previous one because it made my videos like even flashier and gave the colors a psychedelic spin. The previously bright and flowy colors in my video were pixellated and it looked like a disco ball of colors were dancing across my screen. I feel as though this freeframe would work on videos that are in need of a little extra "flash".
The third freeframe I worked with was called Backlight. This freeframe is very plain but can pack a huge punch. The concept is simple: the effect adds what looks like a "light from heaven". The light source is in the middle of the video and the light "sprays" all around the source, looking as if the light is coming at you. This has the ability to make a video look a little more angelic. In my case, I had a boring video of different sized stars forming on screen. With the backlight effect enabled, it fuzzed out the edges of the forming stars and gave it an interesting ethereal feel that wasn't there before. This effect can be used on all types of videos just to give it a little something extra.
