Data Glitch 2 sits at popularity rank 57 in the aescripts catalog and stands out for handling glitch creation natively across both After Effects and Premiere Pro, with alpha support that extends the effect to type and logos.
Data Glitch 2 is a native plugin for After Effects and Premiere Pro from Rowbyte that generates realistic digital image glitches. It is compatible with both Mac and Windows.
The plugin includes four distinct glitches — Scan, Block, Offset and Rect — each with individual and per-channel control, along with per-channel random seed control. It supports YUV and RGB color spaces and offers image compression control with an optional image map, producing compression artifacts on the fly. Alpha support makes it suitable for glitching type and logos, and expressions can drive audio reactive animations. Both Image Type and Strip Type glitches come with quality settings, plus control over the glitch pattern.
Current version 2.7.5 was released on April 21, 2025. Compatibility reaches from After Effects CS6 through 2025, and Premiere Pro CS6 through 2020. A demo video is available.
Data Glitch 2 is best for creating realistic digital image glitches in After Effects and Premiere Pro, including transitions and glitching type and logos.
