This is the result we'll create, a city night traffic with a neon title that occasionally glitches digitally, with red, green, and blue colors separated and the image broken up. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe After Effects series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Glitch effects mimic digital signal damage and are very popular for music videos, technology, and gaming. The key is to separate the color channels and then randomly shift and break them up.
Create a composition from the night traffic footage and add a large neon text in the center. Pre-compose both into a glitch source. We'll make three copies of this pre-comp.
Apply shift channel to the glitch source, set take green from and take blue from to full off. Only the red channel remains. Duplicate twice. The second copy leaves green, the third copy leaves blue. Name them red, green, and blue.
Change the mode of green and blue to add. The three channels summed together recreate the original image. Now each channel can be shifted individually.
On the red position, type the posterize time expression 8, then add wiggle on the X-axis. Do the same for blue with the opposite direction. Posterize time makes the value change only 8 times per second, making the shift look broken like a damaged signal.
Add an adjustment layer with wave warp type square, wave height 20, and wave width 80, so the image gets cut into shifting blocks. Create a null control with checkbox control, link the opacity adjustment layer to the checkbox, then add keyframe hold so the glitch appears only for a moment. Preview the animation.
The city night flows calmly, then suddenly glitches, the color channels separate, and the image blocks shift, then return to normal. This rhythm is what makes the glitch feel surprising.
Done. We have separated the channels using shift channel, merged them with add, shifted the channels in a broken way with posterize time and wiggle, created block distortion, and controlled the glitch with a checkbox.
