Hello guys, welcome to a new "Easy Tutorial"
video.
Today I will show you how to create a glitch
effect in Adobe After Effects.
To be able to do this, you need this glitch
footage video which is free to download online.
You can find the download link in the description
so you can get it.
Ok, so let's start by importing our logo end
the glitch footage in our project.
Now create a new composition with these settings:
1280x720 pixels and 30 frames per second.
Drag and drop your footage into the new composition
and put the glitch video on top of your logo.
Uncheck these two boxes to make the glitch
footage invisible.
Now let's create a new adjustment layer.
Open your effects and presets panel, and type
in: displacement.
Select the displacement map effect and drag
it on the adjustment layer.
Now select the glitch video footage from this
drop down menu, and let's play a little with
the horizontal and vertical displacement values.
As you can see the glitch effect is almost
ready.
To make it look better, select the adjustment
layer and trim it down to 15 frames less or
more...
Then duplicate the adjustment layer a couple
of times and place the new layers random on
the timeline.
Select each new layer and adjust the horizontal
and vertical displacement values, to give
a random appearance to our effect.
This is how it looks now!
Next we have to duplicate two times our logo,
by clicking control D, and rename the logo
layers: red, blue and green.
Type: levels, in the effects and presets panel
then select: "Levels Individual Controls"
from the list and apply it to each of the
logo layers individually.
Now select the red layer, and in the levels
individual control panel change these values
to zero for green and blue color.
Next select the blue layer, and change to
zero the values for red and green color.
And finaly select the green layer and change
to zero the values for red and blue color.
Change the blending mode for the blue and
green layers to: screen.
Create a new null object.
Apply the slider effect on it.
Rename this new layer to: glitch.
Select the red layer and hit p for position.
Now hold alt button pressed and click on the
position's stopwatch to open the expressions
field.
Type in this field: wiggle, bracket, 10, comma,
then grab the pickwick tool and drag it onto
the slider control from up here.
Don't forget to close the expression with
an end bracket.
Now let's change the slider value to 40 and
see what happens.
As you can see, the glitch effect is almost
perfect.
We only have to create a couple of keyframes
to make it look better.
Click this stopwatch to create a keyframe
at the beginning of the timeline.
Then hit u to see our keyframes.
Create a couple more keyframes like you see
in this example.
Now select all these keyframes and hit F9
to ease them.
Let's see our final result!
