Help! how to create a fuzzy/distorted effect
i’m banging my head against the wall here trying to figure out how to create a distort/fuzzy effect in premiere.
some of the footage i have to edit is corrupt and instead of disregarding it completely or cutting bits out around where the video goes pixelated i’d like to place an effect over the top of it. the footage was shot in night vision mode so (here’s where i struggle to explain what i’m trying to achieve) the effect im after would be where the video goes ‘funny‘ kind of like an intermittant interfearance type effect that i can place directly over the broken parts of the video.
This link contains a clip which is similar to the effect im trying to create except i want to use throughout one clip instead of using it as a transition as seen here.

If you want fuzzy then why not use blur?

Thx for the response, that isnt quite what im after. the effect should almost look like the effect you get from rewinding or fastforwarding a video tape. yet it should appear to be a rewind or ff effect, more like a glitch if you get what i mean.

You can use a matte to apply a “fast blur” or “mosaic” effect to just that portion of the frame. It will accomplish what you’re after.
See FAQ:How do I blur/obscure a specific part of the frame? for examples of how to do this. Modify the technique to your needs.

For a FF effect you could do the following. Slow down footage with 50%, this will give you twice the amount of frames. Go to the beginning of your clip, skip the first two frames, now cut four frames out, skip two frames and cut out four frames again, repeat these steps untill you;ve reached the end of the clip. Now export movie and import again and your footage has the same amount of frames as before. Play with the speed to get desired speed/look.
Make “scanlines” in photoshop and export as PNG-file. Import in Premiere and put the scanlines image on top of your footage. Play with the Blending Mode (under opacity) like ‘color doge’. Now apply a displacement map (turbulent displace) to make scanlines jitter/distort. Copy this filter and paste it on footage beneath it.
You could also play with the lens distortion filter, bend, wave warp and offset filters.
Hope this is what you’re looking for.
cheers

Hi Rick,
Do you know if there’s a Youtube clip showing this technique of yours of fast forwarding/rewinding with the scanline distortion effect?
Thanks,
Edo
