If you are using an image (or you cannot find the set channels tab), you have to drag set channels onto your image/text from the "effects & presets" menu. Great video though :)

Excellent tutorial - I downloaded the stock footage of the screen glitch and made the adjustment layer react to that like you said. Worked like a charm. Very happy with the result. Thanks!
