Quick Tutorials: Fast Glitch Text Animation in After Effects - Tutorial

In this After Effects Quick Tutorial, we will create easy glitch text animation that can be used for sci-fi or "hacker" type projects.

Script:
First, Type your text and make the layer a 3D layer. Then animate the Position of the Z property to fly into the composition. Make the last keyframe an easy ease keyframe. Then go to effect - Transitions - Card Wipe. Animate the Transition Completion from 50% to 0%. The animation should last for around 2 seconds. Then change the Rows to 8, the flip axis to Random, Flip Direction to Positive, and the Flip Order to anything that you like. Now go to effect - Blur - CC Radial Fast Blur. We’ll go to 8 frames and animate the amount from 46 to 0 over 1 second of time.

Precompose the text layer. Duplicate the new precomped text layer and make sure the duplicated layer is selected. Go to effect - Channel - Set Channels. We are going to do RGB splitting. If this tutorial is to fast, I have a more in-depth video on RGB splitting. Turn the Green and Blue to off. Then duplicate the layer and set Red to off and Turn Green on for it’s channel. Duplicate the layer again and set green to off and set the blue channel to blue. Then alt click the position property to add the expression wiggle(2,20). Copy and paste the expression the other text layers, except for the original layer. Finally, fade out the RGB effect for each layer, by animating the opacity property to 0%.

Thank you so much for the concise tutorial. Probably the best format I've seen. Everything is shown on screen so I can pause and rewind but I don't have to sit through half and hour to an hour to learn how to do something simple like use card wipe for a glitch effect. Please keep making more like this. Subscribed.

I am watching your tutorials.. thanks a lot, you're very talented and kind enough to share.. many out there like Andrew Kramer, Rob Mize, Aharon Rabinotwitz, Maaltanon, etc all doing great stuff.

[MAjYQSammi]

I love short tutorials because they get straight to the point. If I really need to see something, I'll pause it.

The one thing I wish that there was is some kind of transcript of what you're saying so that I could read what you said.

I wish you showed the finished effect achieved with the stages you took somewhere in the video.

[krypto]

I love your tutorials but this time (even for a quick tutorial) it was a little bit too fast.
Tip: at the end you could show us the rendered result so the people understand what you did :)
A suggestion for a tutorial: how to create 3D mesh landscapes for AE using Photoshop or GIMP.
