Effects Library

The easiest way to choose a glitch effect is to start with the type of failure you want, not with the parameter list.

Analog And Broadcast Instability

Use these when you want damaged TV signal behavior, unstable chroma, scanline drift, or VHS-style playback problems.

1. Analog Chroma Glitch
   Color channels drift and wobble like a damaged analog signal.
2. Decoder Slip Glitch
   Horizontal hold slips and chroma wobble like a failing decoder.
3. Chromatic Noise
   Animated noise with subtle RGB shimmer.
4. Line Shake Glitch
   Horizontal or vertical line instability.
5. RF Interference Glitch
   Crawling static and harsh broadcast-style interference.
6. Scanline Jitter
   Scanline-based jitter and small display jumps.
7. Signal Shock Glitch
   Bursty analog interference with RGB offsets and line jitter.
8. Soft RGB Glitch
   A smoother, lighter chromatic glitch with pulsing bursts.
9. VHS Noise
   Tracking wobble, playback noise, scanline shimmer, and tape-style banding.
10. VHS Tracking Glitch
    Rolling bands, skew, and line drift from bad VHS tracking.

Digital, Codec, And Data Corruption

Use these when you want compressed video artifacts, digital signal loss, datamosh-style breakup, or strong block-based corruption.

1. Broken Signal
   Heavy tearing, warping, and corrupted frame breakup.
2. Compression Codec Glitch
   Block compression artifacts, banding, and codec-style quantization damage.
3. Data Glitch
   Random pixel-block offsets with datamosh-like motion breaks.
4. Digital Glitch
   YUV-style tearing and digital-TV deformation.
5. DTV Signal Breakup
   Broadcast collapse with broken bands and sync chaos.
6. Mosaic Glitch
   Tile-based pixel breakup and misalignment.
7. Signal Crush Glitch
   Chunky block breakup with compressed color collapse.

RGB And Color Deformation

Use these when the main goal is chromatic splitting, color folding, or graphic color-channel separation rather than full signal destruction.

1. Color Fold Glitch
   Rainbow-like band folding and broken contours.
2. Noise Edge Shift
   Distorted noisy outlines pushed around edges.
3. RGB Desync Glitch
   RGB channels split in different directions, often with block structure.
4. RGB Pulse
   Rhythmic horizontal RGB separation for beat-like motion.

Echo And UV Warp

Use this when you want ghosted screen-space repetition instead of classic TV breakup.

1. UV Echo Glitch
   Rotational UV echo trails that pulse in and out with warped ghosting.

Suggested Starting Points

• For broadcast failure: Decoder Slip Glitch, RF Interference Glitch, VHS Tracking Glitch
• For digital corruption: Compression Codec Glitch, Data Glitch, DTV Signal Breakup
• For clean RGB styling: Soft RGB Glitch, RGB Pulse, RGB Desync Glitch
• For aggressive full-frame chaos: Broken Signal, Signal Crush Glitch, Broken Signal plus RF Interference

Stacking Advice

Do not begin with three heavy effects at once.

Safer workflow:

1. choose one base effect
2. tune it until it reads clearly
3. add one secondary effect that changes the character, not just the intensity

This usually produces a stronger result than stacking everything immediately.
