It looks like a combination of a rapid horizontal wiggle effects (Google AE wiggle expression) and a glitch effect.Here is one of many places you can get the glitch effect.

Thanks Aindreas, I really appreciate that.
BTW, I really enjoyed watching your reel. Must be nice to have Nike as a client!

[Dylan Hargreaves] ” have mine set-up so the media cache/prefs etc are all on my Mac hard drive, which should surely be faster than any external drive. Still I get the stutters and in bigger projects awful handling unless I render everything.”
You should have all your media on an external hard drive with the fastest connection possible (of course this various with the kind of media you play back). It should have a USB 3 or PCI-E connection for best performance.
Your Mac drive also has your applications on it. So things slow down when that poor drive is accessing apps and playing media and storing files all on the same drive.

Sean, I prefer not to be ramrodded into only one option- the cloud.
When I buy software I want it in the manner I buy it from all venders,which is perpetual use. Mocha, Syntheyes, Red Giant, Zaxwerks all give me the option to buy software in this manner. I pay once and use it forever.
As I have explained, buying into software that is analogous to a lease forces the user to accept any price changes the vendor makes.Lets look at the Cloud. They are offering it at 29.95 to entice folks to join. Then eventually the rates are 74.95 for monthly or 49.95 for a year contract.When they decide to jack the price a bit more, we have no recourse. Pay it or deactivate it.
Gee, what Corporate American companies do that. Have you seen your cable bill, natural gas bill, electric bill etc. recently?
With leased software I have no choice. If I stop, I dont edit. With perpetual software I have a choice. I prefer it that way 😀

Here you go.
Media cache (not the database) is in Prefs.
Preview is in Project Settings.

Yes. Putting those 2 files on the fastest device you have/where you put your media is how my system is configured and it runs great!I have mine on an external Dulce raid array.

I prefer to continue the upgrading I have done the last 13 years (at about $350) and get the next version of just the software I need which is the Production Bundle. Getting stuff I dont need doesnt sweeten the deal for me at all.
I also prefer to have the perpetual license where I can stop shelling out $50 bucks a month and use the software until I decided to upgrade again.If economic condition dictate cutting back, I still am able to edit. Not so with the cloud.
But then again I dont think leasing cars is a very smart thing to do either 😀
