A method of and apparatus for processing video signals to achieve a visual effect corresponding to that which would be achieved if an input twodimensional image were projected on to a three-dimensional surface is disclosed. A video signal is formed into digitized sample values each having an input pixel address comprising X and Y coordinate values. X and Y scaling multipliers and Z coordinate values corresponding to the respective pixel addresses on the three-dimensional surface to which each of the input pixel addresses will be moved in achieving the effect are stored in a mapping store.
