Layout Video Lines

    The RealiTools Video Lines plug-in can be found under the Effects panel, on the Image Processing tab as an Image Filter plug-in. 
    You can create horizontal or vertical lines, and have them as bright or as dark as you want.  You can make the lines as wide as you want, and blur them.  You can set the properties of this effect in the Options panel.  First is the Type of the lines.  Horizontal will run left to right across the image, and vertical will run from top to bottom.  The Line Frequency control lets you set how wide the lines are, in pixels.  Next is the Bright variance.  The plug-in actually makes two kinds of scanlines on any given image: bright and dark.  This control lets you set how much brighter to make the image on bright lines.  This can go from 0 to 255, where 255 will make the lines completely white, and 0 will have no effect.  Similarly, the Dark variance is how much darker to make the image on dark lines.  This also goes from 0 to 255, with 255 being completely black lines, and 0 no dark lines at all.  Invert lines simply changes the order of dark lines and bright lines.  By default, the first line is bright.  Finally, the Soft lines option lets you soften the edges of the lines.  By default, they are hard-edged.  At one pixel wide, this is what you want.  But, if you want wider scanlines (4 or 5 pixels and up), turning this on will probably look better.
