Why we like it

Jlitch earns its spot in the aescripts library by building glitch effects and abstract visuals out of compression errors and accumulation feedback, with a range that reaches from restrained digital decay to psychedelic chaos.

What is Jlitch?

Jlitch is a plugin for After Effects and Premiere Pro that works with compression errors and accumulation feedback, turning them into glitch effects and trippy abstract visuals. The range spans subtle digital decay at one end and full-blown psychedelic chaos at the other.

The plugin runs across a wide span of host versions. In After Effects it supports releases from 2021 through 2026, and it covers the same 2021 to 2026 range in Premiere Pro, so recent installs of either application are accounted for. The current build is version 1.1.1, released on July 6, 2026, which updated the framework the plugin is built on.

Jlitch sits in the aescripts library and is listed as free here. A demo video is available on YouTube, and the developer's page on aescripts is the place to confirm current licensing and compatibility before downloading.

That range covers current releases as well as several older ones, so most recent installs of either application should be accounted for. If you run a version outside that list, check the developer's page on aescripts for the latest compatibility details before installing.
