RGB channel separation effect
I have seen quite a few videos where the separation of the RGB channels is used for a kind of distortion effect. Is there a simpler and easier way to control this effect in AE other than manually separating the 3 channels into 3 separate layers?
You can see the effect I am talking about in the following video…

video copilot’s plugin “twitch” does exactly that.

I did just that. I was hoping that there might have been an effect i was over looking in AE or maybe there was an effect or preset made by another person out there.

In cases like this where the effect is very simple, I prefer to ‘roll my own.’ It allows me more flexibility, because ultimately an effect preset or a plug-in may not consider all of the factors/elements of the effect that I want. I applaud you for doing it yourself, and I encourage you to think about what else you can do to those layers to get an even cooler effect.
And, as Dave suggests, save your work as an animation preset!
