What is Interlaced Glitch?

Interlaced Glitch is an After Effects plugin from Benzostudio built to recreate the authentic look of footage from old analog and early digital video cameras. It reproduces real interlacing, scanlines and motion imperfections inspired by those formats, aiming for a nostalgic retro aesthetic that spans early 2000s camcorders through soft, time-worn lo-fi visuals.

It is also optimized for modern workflows, with full compatibility with Multi-Frame Rendering (MFR) for fast and efficient performance inside After Effects.

Interlaced Glitch supports After Effects versions 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023 and 2022. A demo video is available on the developer's page for a closer look at the effect.
