Hi,

At 1:32 in this video what effect is used to make the underline 'glitch' or 'flicker' as it enlarges?

Cheers.

Hi there,

Its hard to know exactly what technique was used but here are a few suggestions. There are several ways you could do this. Digieffects make a really great set of glitchy plugins, called Damage. This would be your easiest method if you wanted to create a glitch effect often.

If if you want to create this kind of effect as a one off then you can do it manually in AE. With a line like this you may want to apply a random expression to the horizontal scale value of the line, making it jump between random scale values? Here’s something from the wonderful Dan Ebberts;

minDur = 2; maxDur = 8; seedRandom(index,true); prev = next = inPoint; while (time >= next){ prev = next; next += random(minDur,maxDur); } seedRandom(prev,true); s = (Math.floor(random(5))+1)*10; [s,s]

I would do a screen capture or download the video and examine the effect one frame at a time. Just stepping through the effect by pausing the YouTube file I saw only a broken line expanding and changing color. I did not see any distortion effects. You could do that quite easily with a single stroked line and a few keyframes. Something like this:

There are dozens of ways to create something similar, but the key to figuring out an effect is to look at what is happening a frame at a time and then simplify. Start simple then add layers. You can duplicate almost any effect if you think that way.
