However, I noticed that sometimes EbSynth creates artifacts that look a lot like datamoshing glitches. So this got me wondering: &#8220;Can EbSynth be used to create glitch effects intentionally?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer is yes. This video tutorial will teach you how to create glitches on video footage using EbSynth and After Effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oxV0-O7XvIU?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"what-is-ebsynth\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is EbSynth?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ebsynth.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">EbSynth<\/a> is a free software app that allows you to animate existing footage using just a few styled keyframes. It is perfect for hand-drawn animations that typically would take a long time to animate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, you export your footage as an image sequence. Then you select a few frames from your image sequence to stylize. Then EbSynth takes care of the rest, mapping the styled animation look from your keyframes to the rest of the footage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"755\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/EbSynth-Animation-Create-Glitch-Effects-with-EbSynth.gif\" alt=\"EbSynth Animation on a Moving Human Face- Create Glitch Effects with EbSynth\" class=\"wp-image-174631\"\/><figcaption><em>Use <a href=\"https:\/\/ebsynth.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">EbSynth<\/a> to add a hand-drawn animation look to the footage.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"how-to-create-glitch-effects-with-ebsynth\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Create Glitch Effects with EbSynth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To get started creating glitches with EbSynth, we first need to export our video clip as an image sequence from After Effects.
