1. Re: What effect is this? (default effect or plugin?)

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]

Rick Gerard Jan 14, 2018 8:20 AM (in response to theangietaylor)1 person found this helpfulI 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:
Here's the project file: Dropbox - Line Glitch.aep
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.
