Create a glitch (distortion) effect in Premiere Pro

Published on

Adobe Premiere Pro Tutorials

Distortion, Glitch Effect, premiere pro

Offset the RGB channels in Adobe Premiere Pro and create an epic glitch effect. Download the preset from the tutorial to drag and drop the effect.

It’s Tuesday and you know what that means. This week we’re taking a look inside Premiere Pro again and create a glitch or distortion effect . The glitch effect is something very popular that is usually created inside After Effect. Some third party plugins even allow many customization. But the glitch effect is actually no that hard to create, that’s why we’re letting Premiere Pro shine again.

Digital video is made out of 3 color channels; namely red, green and blue (RGB). To make the glitch effect work, we have to take these channels apart which we will learn from the tutorial.

Glitch effects can be used for various projects. Sometimes I would even apply them in after movies and edit the effect on a beat from the music. Other great uses are to use such a glitch as a transition. Just like using light leaks, it’s a different way of switching scenes. But be careful using such fancy effects. Even if they look ‘awesome’, doesn’t always mean we should use them everywhere.

Effects like this glitch is a pretty extreme thing and characterizes your edit. If it doesn’t fit the style and the content of you video, then don’t use it. But never be afraid of experimenting 🙂

  3. I work on Adobe Premiere pro CC 2018 now, when I tried the present, it didn’t have the keyframes on it. I followed the tutorial, but the keyframes didn’t appear on the task bar and therefore, no glitch effect. What’s the problem!?

  5. Great little tutorial but what if you just wanted to say glitch the car. Would you need to rotoscope around the car for every frame you want the glitch active?
    Could be a decent follow up video. Advanced glitching. 😉

    • Hi John, if you subscribed from the form above you should receive an email. It could take a minute or 2 before you do so. I understand your frustration and I excuse myself. We switched to a new mailing software today and this was the first mass trial. It seems like more people are having trouble, so I make it priority to fix.

    • Hi Cameron, we moved to a new mailing software today and this is the first test. It could take several minutes before you get the download email. I don’t see you in the list, could you try filling in the form above again? If you’re already subscribed, you should find a download link in the ‘new post’ email.
