Earns its place for packing seven separately animatable glitch effects that can be layered together, backed by 26 editable presets.
Glitch 7in1 bundles seven glitch plug-ins for After Effects into one collection from AE Sweets. Each effect carries advanced options and can be animated individually, and all types can be combined for a richer result.
The set covers Basic Blocks, which breaks elements or a composition into random pixel blocks that can be animated and blended over the source with a full range of blend modes; Pixel Sorter, which selects ranges of pixels by criteria such as brightness, color channel and alpha and sorts them; Elements Scatter, which randomly generates graphic elements with a blend mode option per element type; and Blur Blocks, which blurs random blocks of pixels. Noise applies frequencies and amplitudes ranging from subtle film grain to strong chromatic distortion, Warp moves pixels in a wave-like motion, and Split RGB treats color channels individually to mimic chromatic aberration or hide, flip and invert channels.
The plugin comes with 26 editable presets, each fully customizable, and runs across After Effects CS5 through CC 2024.
Glitch 7in1 is best for after Effects artists building glitch looks by stacking and animating multiple effects.
Glitch 7in1 is completely free to download and use.
Glitch 7in1 supports After Effects from CS5 through CC 2024, so it covers a wide span of versions including the 2024 release. If you're running any release in that range, the seven glitch plug-ins should be available to you. For versions outside that window, check the developer's page to confirm current compatibility before installing. The listed requirements match the same CS5 to CC 2024 range.
Glitch 7in1 includes seven different glitch effects, and all of them can be combined for a richer result. Each effect also carries advanced options and can be animated individually, so you can layer Basic Blocks, Pixel Sorter, Elements Scatter, Blur Blocks, Noise, Warp and Split RGB together and animate their settings as needed. This stackable approach is central to how the collection works.
Glitch 7in1 ships with 26 editable presets. Each one is carefully crafted and fully customizable, so you can start from a preset and adjust its settings rather than building every look from scratch. Alongside the presets, each of the seven effects exposes its own set of options for further tuning. A demo video is also available if you want to look at the plugin before installing.
Glitch 7in1 is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change, so check the developer's page for the current details before you download. The plugin comes from AE Sweets and includes all seven glitch effects along with 26 editable presets in the package. It's compatible with After Effects CS5 through CC 2024, which covers the versions you'll need to run it.
