See it in action
Real footage. Real glitches.
This is Pixel & Bitcrush, one of nine styles in the pack, straight out of Final Cut Pro.
How it works
Drop it on. Pick a frequency. Done.
Every effect in the pack works the same way, so once you've used one you know them all.
Drop it on a clip
Search "glitch" in the Effects browser and the whole pack comes up. Drag any effect onto your clip.
Choose the Glitch Frequency
A few occasional hits or full on chaos. Try it here.
Shape it in the inspector
Strength sliders, switches for the extras, RGB Split, Frame Jolt and six Variations. Everything is labelled and ready in Final Cut Pro. The glitches run at real speed on clips of any length.
Why editors use it
Real glitches, built in Final Cut Pro.
Glitch on cue
Light, Medium, Heavy or Constant on every effect. Set how busy it gets in one click.
Runs the whole clip
A 3 second shot and a 3 minute shot both glitch naturally. The timing never stretches or slows down.
Six Variations
Six random layouts for slices, blocks, bands and lines. Stack the same effect on several clips and each one glitches differently.
Built for vertical
In 9:16 projects the glitch layout tightens to suit the narrower frame, ready for Reels, Shorts and TikTok.
Light and sharp
Made entirely from Final Cut Pro's own effects engine with no overlays or stock clips. About 19 MB, and crisp in HD, 4K and beyond.
Snappy, digital motion
Glitches cut hard from frame to frame like a real fault, with RGB Split and Frame Jolt on most effects.
Premade or custom
Drag and drop. Or build your own signature glitch.
Every glitch in the pack comes premade and ready to drag and drop. When you want something more custom, the Glitch Builder is included too.
Premade glitchesDrop one on a clip, pick a frequency and you're done.
Glitch BuilderBuild your own look from the styles in the pack. Block slices, colour slices, pixel bands, VHS lines, data lines, static, flash and RGB split, each with its own switch and strength.
