Create a glitch (distortion) effect in Premiere Pro
Published on
Distortion, Glitch Effect, premiere pro

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 🙂

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!?
With me too
great work, thank you so much
The 5 more effects isn’t working.

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.
I already subscribed and confirmed my email address. It’s not letting me download the glitch effect!
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.
Hey Jordy, Have the same poblem :).
My appoligies. Over the next months we have a complete new web system planned to give you a more friendly experience. Could you share what exactly you where doing and where it went wrong?
