Live effects / Video effects > Glitch

You can find the Glitch effect in the Toolbox under the Objects tab in the Live effects area .

The effect can be used to simulate image distortions. The alternating animation of color shifts in the RGB range, noise and brightness fluctuations create a dynamic effect for photos, videos and text objects.

1. Insert the "Glitch" effect VIDEO VISION STAGES

Drag the effect from Toolbox directly onto an object in the Timeline.

You can also drag the effect to the Timeline and insert one or more contents into the effect later.

After you have inserted the image, a colored frame with the title of the effect appears surrounding the small preview image in the Timeline. If you click on the colored frame, you can define the settings for the effect in the Properties area.

2 Specifying the effect settings

In the Properties area, you can influence the effect of the effect. You can enter a Name for the effect in the Name field. This improves the overview in the Timeline.

Use the Fineness to change the detail size of the pattern that causes the original motif to shift.

Strength horizontal and Strength vertical specify how far the color shift is from the original position.

The Fluctuation time determines how long the effect should last. The glitch is active for half of the set time, the rest of the time it is not.

The Fluctuation distance between the shifts specifies the period that must lie between two fluctuations.

If you are showing several pieces of content at the same time, such as a text and a background or a reduced photo in front of a background, set each object in a separate glitch effect. Then use different values for the fluctuation duration and the fluctuation distance to make the glitch appear alternately in the foreground and in the background. This gives you an interesting effect that still allows the viewer to easily recognize the content.

Example of the effect's impact
