hey what's up ladies and gentlemen I'm Ignace Aleya.Today I'll be showing you
how to create a really cool glitch kind of rotoscope effect in Adobe After
Effects I saw this in an advertisement here in Belgium on TV which was really
cool and I wanted to recreate an effect it's super popular in music videos and
even travel videos you can do a lot of cool things with it
if you enjoy watching my videos be sure to subscribe and hit the notification
bell so you stay notified when I upload new videos and if you want to follow
this tutorial using the exact same footage as me I'll put a link in the
description below where you can go and download that so you can follow along
with this tutorial so without further ado let's jump into Adobe After Effects
and get started alright so here we are an Adobe After Effects and the first
thing that I've done is import my footage I already did it simple great on
it so this is what you'll get if you download it with link in the description
below so the first thing that I've done is drag this into a new composition and
what we want to do now is just key out myself which is also known as
rotoscoping you want to Road scope myself out but we want to keep a chair
in the shop and as this is quite a simple shot we actually can cheat it
with the rotoscope tool but you can also mask it out it depends on your
preferences so what I will do is click on my footage you go to edit and I will
duplicate the shot then I'll double click on it so it opens up in a layer
and I will go here to the rotoscoping brush tool click on that and then right
here and the brushes you can change this diameter to something like 10 and then
zoom into your footage and just drag around yourself and make it perfect
rotoscope of yourself and try to make it as perfect as possible
because the first frame is the most important one so with all you can and
just disable parts and we're just dragging around you will enable parts so
I'm going to drag here over my shirt make sure the chair isn't in the
rotoscope and then drag it out here and just make sure that you do everything as
perfect as possible and know that that doesn't have to be
perfect because we're gonna be using a glitch so a little bit of errors really
don't matter that much I'm just going to keep it as it is right now you can also
go in here and maybe he had these parts it's completely up to you just make sure
it's kind of harder here so we have these edges you can also readjust the
size of your brush tool so you can get into the smaller parts here and once
you've done that just review the entire shop and make sure that it's kind of
good looking here alright so this looks alright and now what you want to do is
right here you'll see some kind of arrows and make sure that the arrows
cover the entire area to drag it out for the duration of the clip I'm also
increasing like five seconds so now what you want to do is press the page down
key on the keyboard and that's going to calculate the rotoscope for each frame
so now just double check if everything looks good and actually I forgot this
part here so page down button you can also hold shift and press the page down
to move ten frames forward and just with every frame that you update just check
if the rotoscope is completely fine once you're done with the entire rotoscope
just click the freeze button right here and that will calculate the rotoscope
once your rotoscope is complete you will have something like this so as you can
see it's not perfect but this is what we're going to be using for the glitch
effect if you want you can take more time to do the rotoscope more perfectly
I overlooked this but it took a lot of time to really sculpt something simple
so that's completely up to you we will be using this in this instance so the
next thing that I did and which you can also download for free we have five
glitch examples for free and then we have the entire pack which you can buy
on our website but basically you can do this with any kind of glitch textures so
I'm going to be using one of these glitch textures I'm going to import this
as a JPEG sequence which will import all of these textures but as an animated
version and if I hit in Port and I will drag this for example
in this composition here you can see that now we have an animation of really
cool glitch effects so what we'll do is scale this down to fit my composition
there we go and then i will also right click and go for time enable time
remapping and then I will hold alt and click on the stopwatch here for the time
remap and then I will go here to the arrow and go to the property and use
loupe out and it is a simple script and that is integrated in after-effects and
if you now extend this clip it's just going to play this as an infinite loop
so that's a handy trick if you want to loop certain video clips so once you
have done that we now want to create a new solid layer and this is going to be
our glitch kind of alpha matte so we're going to use fractal noise in this
instance and for those that watch my tutorials on a regular basis you'll
notice that I use a lot of fractal noise but that's just an awesome effect so
we'll go to effect noise and grain fractal noise so in here I want to
change the noise time to a block and I want to change the complexity to two
then I'm gonna go into the transform then check uniform scaling increase the
width so we have some kind of lines like this and then I want to increase the
contrast here decrease the brightness and get something like that going and
then hold alt and click on a stop punch for the evolution and here I want to
write something like prime times 1000 and this is just going to change the
effects on it to something like this so this is a really cool kind of glitch
text effect we can also go a little bit more in detail but that's completely up
to you and we're going to be using this to yeah
show the glitch texture that is below it right here so everything that's why it
is going to show the texture everything that's black is going to well is not
going to show the texture so now go to the track map option if you don't see
that toggle the switches here and we're going to use a luma matte there we go so
now we have this glitch going on which is really cool
so now what want to do is just select these two layers here and go for layer
precompose and just rename this to glitch effect and of course you can
duplicate this and offset this a little bit so you have two of these which is
going to add a little bit more variation in there and now we have a really cool
glitch texture the only problem is that it doesn't show on myself so what we'll
be doing is click on your footage layer right here drag this above one of the
effects go to edit and duplicate it one more time because we have two layers and
bring it on top here and then again we want to change the track map to alpha
matte and for the other one as well and there we go so now we have that kind of
glitch effect on ourselves one more thing that we have to do is duplicate
our footage one more time edit duplicate put it just on top or below the glitch
effects right here and we're going for noise well effect noise and grain add
noise and we're just going to increase the noise here do something like 100 and
enable that layer is vol so we can actually see it and now we have
something like that going so you can play around with this something like
that looks pretty cool and now I have something like that so that's really
really cool so what we want to do is just select all of these layers and go
for layer precompose glitch effect and now you can also go for effect distort
and we're going to add a displacement map here and if you're going to increase
that see what happens now so now we have that nice kind of deformation in here
which is really really cool and what you can do as well is go into
the glitch effect here and open the glitch effect and click on the fractal
noise here and go to edit copy and then go back to the main composition and edit
paste and enable this layer for now so we can concentrate on it you can go into
the transform and maybe and decrease the height a little bit add more complexity
it's completely up to you let's see what that does that looks actually pretty
cool and now we can use this layer as an
effect for the displacement map so if we uncheck this layer go back to the
effect and add another instance of the displacement map or just click on it and
go to edit duplicate to duplicate his effect but instead of using the
displacement map glitch we're going to use fractal noise and also make sure
that you go in here and choose effects and masks now look what we have now so
now we have something like that going on which is actually really cool kind of
deforming the entire glitch effect so we're going to be using a little bit of
horizontal displacement to get something like that going and of course what you
want to do is select these two layers and trim them to something like two
seconds and then we start normal and then at two seconds is gonna kick in
pretty cool I think it's a little bit too much of displacement here so I'm
going to change it to like fly to keep it very subtle but that looks really
really cool all right so that's basically how to achieve this effect and
then apart from that I went to epidemics sound to get my music and my sound
effects for addy glitch effect and the atmospheric kind of vibe and if you
click the link in the description below you can use epidemics sound 30 days for
free through my link so definitely go and check them out they're really
awesome they have a ton of sound effects music cinematic sequences and stuff it's
a really cool website that offers copyright free music alright so that's
