In days past, motion designers had to create <strong>digital distortion in After Effects<\/strong> by hand, but now there are many helpful tools that we can use to create distortion and each has its own unique advantages. In the following post we&#8217;ll breakdown eight ways to create <strong>digital distortion in After Effects.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"1-digital-distortion-free-after-effects-template\" class=\"p1\"><a title=\"1.

Essentially the template uses a series of compositions to add distortion using only native effects, so you don&#8217;t need to install anything. Simply open the free template and\u00a0drop your footage into the &#8216;Drop Footage Here&#8217; Composition and your <strong>distorted footage<\/strong> will be outputted into a final composition. The <strong>free After Effects template<\/strong> can be customized\u00a0using a series of sliders that adjust various effects like turbulence, color bars, and noise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Here&#8217;s a quick demo of the various features in the free AE Template:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/vimeo.com\/127523997<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a title=\"Download Free After Effects Digital Distortion Template\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rocketstock.com\/blog\/free-after-effects-template-digital-distortion\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">DOWNLOAD FREE AFTER EFFECTS TEMPLATE<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"2-dojo-glitch-script\" class=\"p1\"><a title=\"Dojo Glitch Script\" href=\"http:\/\/creativedojo.net\/store\/dojo-glitch-script\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">2.

With this awesome <strong>Glitch Script for After Effects,\u00a0<\/strong>users can easily create\u00a0customizable glitch effects by simply pressing a button. Simply select your composition and click &#8216;Generate Glitch&#8217; and AE will create a composition with a control layer which can be adjusted in a similar way to the <strong>free RocketStock template<\/strong>.

Glitch has very similar effect controllers to that of the RocketStock template. However, Red Giant&#8217;s Glitch is a plugin that can be used with any\u00a0layer <em>without<\/em> opening or importing a separate project. Glitch focuses on colored bar distortion rather than sharp distortions. So if you are looking to get a good <strong>&#8216;signal&#8217; distortion<\/strong> this plugin might be for you.
