+## Parameters
+
+- **Line width** and **Line contrast** control the horizontal scanlines: how thick they are and how visible they are compared to the image.
+- **Curvature** bends the image outward to mimic the rounded glass of a CRT screen. Set it to `0` for a flat screen.
+- **Noise** and **Noise size** add static grain over the image, while **Noise Frequency** sets how many times per second the noise is refreshed (set it to `0` to freeze the noise).
+- **Vignetting**, **Vignetting alpha** and **Vignetting blur** darken the edges of the screen to focus attention on the center.
+- Enable **Show vertical lines** to draw vertical lines instead of horizontal scanlines.
+- **Interlaced Lines Speed** animates the scanlines: `0` pauses the animation, `1` is normal speed, `2` is double speed, etc.

 > It uses the values of the displacement map to look up the correct pixels to output. This means it's not moving the original. Instead, it's starting from the original output and displays the screen differently based on the displacement map. For example, if a displacement map pixel has red = 1 and the filter scale is 20, this filter will output the pixel approximately 20 pixels to the right of the original.
 
+## Parameters
+
+The **Scale on X axis** and **Scale on Y axis** control how strong the displacement is on each axis (the maximum number of pixels a fully red or green area of the map can shift the image). Set both to `0` to disable the effect.

+- **Distance** and **Rotation** set how far the shadow is offset from the object and in which direction the light is coming from.
+- **Blur** softens the edges of the shadow, and **Quality** controls how smooth that blur looks (higher values cost more performance).
+- **Color of the shadow** and **Alpha** define the shadow's color and how opaque it is.

 This is a faster version of the traditional "Blur" effect. It's recommended that you use this one rather than the "Gaussian" blur effect.
 
+## Parameters
+
+- **Blur** sets the overall strength of the blur.
+- **Pixelize X** and **Pixelize Y** stretch the blur horizontally or vertically, which is useful to create a directional (motion-like) blur.
+- **Quality** controls how many passes are used to compute the blur: higher values give a smoother result but cost more performance.
