Glitch loop effect.

[Michael Szalapski]

Doing this in an editing program wouldn’t take as long as you think. Once you get a segment the length you want, you just copy and paste it. Then copy both of them and paste them. Copy the four and paste them several times and you’ll get a long sequence of that tiny segment looping like in your clip. Time remapping is cool and all, but the speed it plays would be different, your example seems to all be playing at the same speed. Like I said, just make a clip in a video editing program (Final Cut, Avid, Premiere) and repeat it, make a different length clip and repeat it. You don’t have to do all the cuts by hand at all.

I understand what your saying Michael, but it’s just not done that way, I created the clip, I didn’t do any slicing at all, it’s created using just 1 clip, with (Physical) rotary controls assigned to the loop in and out points.

I don’t know how I can explain this, ok I’m going to make another video showing the process. . . . give me about an hour.

Michael, does this help? it shows a lot more clearly how the clip was put together.

I understand how you created it. (But that video showing it is really cool.)

I was just trying to explain how they were suggesting you do it in an NLE. I agree with those who say you should check out the expressions forum and see if anybody there has a good suggestion.

Thanks.

It doesn’t look possible in AE even with an expression, I guess it would take some kind of plugin to do it but that’s probably not goinng to happen anytime soon.

These live video apps are so tempramental but they have so much potential.
It’s odd, capturing live “user” input for the purpose of composing has been a priority in audio apps for many many years now, but we’re only just starting to see it happening in video, though all the live apps are still in very early stages of development and still prone to a lot of problems.

To me the whole industrie looks like it’s going through massive change but AE seems to be falling behind (much as I hate to say it) for example the new collection of free frame plugins – amaizing 3D effects that are designed to be used live, they have zero loading time!!! no wiating for previews is needed at all, it’s all instant, half of these effects blow the Adobe stuff right out of the water, but they’re not supported by AE. . . as yet.

Anyway, slight rant there sorry , I shouldn’t knock AE, it’s still one of my favorite apps of all time 😉
