You guys are my final hope (Jpg damge)
Hi guys!
I want to know of a way to damage jpgs like so
https://www.kvi.nl/~kroon/lightroom/corrupted.jpg
Also I want to know how to do the same thing to a quick time movie.
I found a good way to damage a jpeg by opening the file in textpad and changing the code, but when I do the same method for a movie file it just freezes. Any thoughts on how to pull off a good corrupt file look.
also I know there is a website that has images of corrupt Jpegs but I lost the link if anyone has this link I wold be SO HAPPY.
Thanks all.

If you wanted to create this manually in After Effects you could use a displacement map to get that corrupted image jag.
Or duplicate the image and use a combination of masks and adjustment layers to add the jags and color tint changes where you want them to appear.

I think you’re going to have to try to fake the corrupted look for a movie file. JPEGs are easy to corrupt through a text program (as you’ve found) but a movie has a whole lot of information in there that is essential to playback. You can achieve that basic look through After Effects fairly easily using some distort/displacement and color ‘correction’ techniques.
Try throwing one of the ‘Bad TV’ effects presets on your footage as a starting point if you’re lost.

Thank for the tips guys.
Still would like to figure that website with gallery of damaged Jpeg images 🙂 I hate web hunting

You could re-create that effect with a simple precomped mask and transform x offset with hue/sat.

this is a better example

what I am doing is the “messed up” camera effect like in cover field. At certain points the video has this corruption look to it.
I saw a while back some on this forum posted a way to do this and alink to a site with images like above.

maybe a little long winded, but you could export your video as a jpeg sequence and then manually corrupt your jpegs in text edit as you mentioned earlier. if its only a couple of seconds here and there, hopefully it shouldn’t take too long.

Do you want this effect for video or just for still images?
If you want this effect for video I highly recommend the Twitch plugin from Videocopilot:
https://www.videocopilot.net/products/twitch/It comes with the plugin and tutorials on how to use it. This will definitely give you that Cloverfield effect. It’s terrific.
