Simulate Realistic Digital Image Glitches with Ease!

Data Glitch is a native After Effects plugin that creates awesome realistic digital image glitches with total ease. Something you would see during a satellite transmission or a cable broadcast or from a damaged disk. Bad TV plugin is great for analog TV look, but this is 2010 and you hardly see anything that’s analog anymore. This plugin simulates a realistic digital glitch effect.
In real-life most of the glitches occur due to problems in encoding/decoding and sometimes data corruption. This plugin does exactly that. It encodes the data, glitches the data and then decodes it similar to the real life situation.

Features:

Create Awesome Transitions with Ease.
Compression Artifacts on the Fly
Create Audio reactive animations with expressions.
Control over the Glitch pattern.
Image Type and Strip Type Glitches with quality settings.
Compatible with both Mac and Windows.

Excellent work! I bet you will start seeing your plugin commercial spots (MTV like spots) shortly!

Was this used in the titles for The Colony, the show on Discovery?

Ironically, I want more control over the glitchy chaos. Maybe it could be driven by another layer?

  I am not sure, how another layer controls the glitch pattern since it is not driven by displacement. May be more control over the glitch color would be possible in the future versions.

I just bought a license for this last night – it looks great and is exactly the kind of error/glitch/interference effect I’ve been looking for.
Thanks!
