  • Easiest way to do this effect

    Any way to do this fast in after effects, or is this just tedious labour and manually moving the black bars around with the picture. My friend is trying to do something like this in FCP, and he is not very technical, so I trying to help him making a “template” in AE, or Motion or another app.

    Any help would be great.

    You could probably get the random bars by using fractal noise with the blocky noise type, and doing a vertical-only stretch to get the blocks to become vertical bars. Then you could use the layer as a luma matte, so the white bars would show your video and the black bars would be black bars.

    However, I don’t think there’s a way to automatically do what the video is doing around the bars, so you’d have to set all those layers manually.
