How it works
Glitch cuts random horizontal slices out of the frame, shifts them sideways and drops in magenta and cyan bars. Higher intensity means more slices, bigger offsets and more frequent glitches. It runs on the Motion clock, so every frame of an animation glitches differently.
Effects apply to the finished frame, so Glitch works with every style, and the Intensity slider sets how strong it is. Because it animates, it shows fully in GIF, MP4 and WebM exports.
Tips
- Animated exports show it best.
- Pair with Chromatic and Scan Lines for a VHS look.
- Hex Dump and Matrix styles suit it.
