Hi Nel

Thanks a lot for you reply. I checked your movie and thats roughly the same kind of effect I had managed to get using time displacement in AE (I couldn’t check your source file as I’m working in an old copy of AE, I’m normally a print guy!).

You’re entirely right, replicating those lucky accidents is always tricky! I may have to use a combination of AE and photoshop to cheat the effect, but hopefully someone may be able to point me in the right direction.

cheers, Tom

Many thanks for the reply. I was hoping that rather than creating the effect in photoshop I would be able to force the glitches to occur in a video clip so that the end result was a “happy accident” rather than something that had been composed in photoshop.

I reckon it would be pretty simple to recreate in photoshop but what i really like about the sample image is the pure randomness of the distortion, the way its the result of a technical glitch rather than being “authored”

Do you think this may be possible to achieve?

Thanks again
