Maybe you can add it to the op, but there's a lot of ways to do animated glitches in after effects:

http://aescripts.com/data-glitch/
http://www.creativedojo.net/glitch-effect/

There's probably a million tutorials/ways to do this, these are just two i thought of off the top of my head.

Is after effects worth it for a complete amateur in video editing? Or is there a much cheaper solution?
Sort of off topic sorry.

Really depends what you're going to be using it for.

Editing videos is actually a bit of a pain in the rear end with after effects, you're probably better off with an app that does just editing like Final Cut, Premiere, Vegas or Avid. After Effects is more for doing special effects stuff like greenscreen, rotoscoping and motion graphics.

There are free programs like Jahshaka that can do a similar job to after effects, but my understanding is that it crashes a lot and doesn't have some of the more useful features like the rotobrush.

A lot of motion graphics people fool around with glitch stuff because they already own the app. (It's pretty expensive, to be honest). I haven't got the data plugin/script that i linked to in my previous post, but it looks like it makes it way easier than doing it by hand like you'd have to do in the good old days.

No worries Zip, was just curious. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a fake and made in after effects or something.

Oh, poo poo, forgot about this thread.



So I'm pretty disappointed with the file size, anyone have a good link that can explain optimization to me?

The short answer is the more colours you use and the more frames, the larger your filesize will be.

There's a little bit on it at the top of the gif thread:

And here's one where I've been experimenting to try and create those really pretty images you'd expect to see as album covers, this is basically a combination of ios apps, and I'm pretty happy with the results for my first try.

Ah, cheers, I got decim8 but I wasn't aware of the other two- just grabbed them.

Snapseed is really brilliant. Dscan is really fun as well, even though it's more of a slit scanning than a dedicated glitch app. I did this a while back with it.

There's a new iPhone glitch app out, I saw this appear on my newsfeeds.

The app website has amazing seizure giving background gifs. :D http://glitche.com/

Edit: It's free, but here's a summary of the In App Purchases from cultofmac.

There are two upgrade options in the app. You can pay a buck to get GIF export (some of the effects move, but you can only save stills in the free version) and a bunch of extra effects. Or you can pay for the Pro version which gives you the same, plus high-res PNG export.

Decim8 just came out or is coming for android according to their Facebook page.

I had fun with decim8 for a week or two but I never felt it was either not random enough (you get similar results too much) or not enough control which made me jump back to After Effects.

Guess you can't have both in any case.

If anyone wants the Processing file I can stick it up on pastebin or something!

Full page colour glitch with a message that seems scrambled but makes sense later. Hell, even if was black and white with just random black bars and overlapping type like from a typewriter.

Number stations and the conet project come to mind.

This might not be exactly the right thread for this request, but it's close to what I'm looking for.

For Halloween this year, we're doing a Sci-Fi horror theme, and I want to run a bunch of sci-fi-looking loops on all the TVs and screens in the house to set the ambience of a space station. Parts of the decor are inspired by stuff like Alien and System Shock, including a psychotic AI that kills everyone on board, so I'm especially looking for stuff that's a good mix of "random computer read-outs of the station's operations" and "system error code as the AI begins to take over."

Are there any good collections and central resources for things like this?

"Loo..look look at you hacker.." :D
I love Shodan.

If you're looking for audio, there's a good creepy thing called number stations. Mostly involve automated voices reading numbers out over static and crazy noises.

There's a collection of them used in movies. Check it out here:

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Conet_Project

For those not in the know, there's an interesting article on what they are (nobody knows, there's a lot of conspiracy theories) surrounding them.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numbers_station

I bet someone has made video to these on YouTube too. I'd look but the sound creeps me out as it is. Even a search for glitch music videos might help.

Thanks! Not quite sure what happened to the camera; it was forgotten in a drawer for a few years, then I found it and thought I'd charge it up and see if it still worked. Strangely enough, I did have another camera that had a similar problem – but I dropped it, and it started working normally again. I'll be careful not to accidentally drop and fix this one.

I hope my old cameras glitch up. That'd be rad.
