Today I'll be showing you how to create a Glitch Mask Effect kind of rotoscope effect in Adobe After Effects. Let's jump into Adobe After Effects and get started. So here we are an Adobe After Effects and the first thing that I've done is import my footage.
So I've done is drag this into a new composition and what we want to do now is just key out myself which is also known as rotoscoping you want to Road scope myself out but we want to keep a chair in the shop and as this is quite a simple shot we actually can cheat it with the rotoscope tool but you can also mask it out it depends on your preferences.
So what I will do is click on my footage you go to edit and I will duplicate the shot then I'll double click on it. So it opens up in a layer and I will go here to the rotoscoping brush tool click on that and then right here and the brushes you can change this diameter to something like 10 and then zoom into your footage and just drag around yourself and make it perfect rotoscope of yourself.
And try to make it as perfect as possible because the first frame is the most important one so with all you can and just disable parts and we're just dragging around you will enable parts so I'm going to drag here over my shirt make sure the chair isn't in the rotoscope and then drag it out here and just make sure that you do everything as perfect as possible and know that that doesn't have to be perfect.
Because we're gonna be using a glitch so a little bit of errors really don't matter that much I'm just going to keep it as it is right now you can also go in here and maybe he had these parts it's completely up to you just make sure it's kind of harder here.
- Clip Duration setup
- Rotoscope Setup
- Glitch Textures
- Noise and Grain effect
- Track Texture
- Change track map
- Change track map
- Add displacement map
- Masks effects
Step 1. Clip Duration Setup
So we have these edges you can also readjust the size of your brush tool so you can get into the smaller parts here and once you've done that just review the entire shop and make sure that it's kind of good looking here. So this looks and now what you want to do is right here.
You'll see some kind of arrows and make sure that the arrows cover the entire area to drag it out for the duration of the clip I'm also increasing like five seconds so now what you want to do is press the page down key on the keyboard.
And that's going to calculate the rotoscope for each frame so now just double check if everything looks good and actually I forgot this part here so page down button you can also hold shift and press the page down to move ten frames forward.
Step 2. Rotoscope Setup Glitch Mask effect
Now just with every frame that you update just check if the rotoscope is completely fine once you're done with the entire rotoscope just click the freeze button right here and that will calculate the rotoscope once your rotoscope is complete you will have something like this.
So as you can see it's not perfect but this is what we're going to be using for the glitch mask effect if you want you can take more time to do the rotoscope more perfectly I overlooked this but it took a lot of time to really sculpt something simple so that's completely up to you we will be using this in this instance.
Step 3. Glitch Textures
So I'm going to be using one of these glitch textures I'm going to import this as a JPEG sequence which will import all of these textures but as an animated version and if I hit in Port and I will drag this for example in this composition here you can see that now we have an animation of really cool glitch effects.
So what we'll do is scale this down to fit my composition there we go and then i will also right click and go for time enable time remapping and then I will hold alt and click on the stopwatch here for the time remap and then I will go here to the arrow.
And go to the property and use loupe out and it is a simple script and that is integrated in after-effects and if you now extend this clip it's just going to play this as an infinite loop so that's a handy trick if you want to loop certain video clips so once you have done that.
Step 4. Noise and Grain effect
Now we want to create a new solid layer and this is going to be our glitch kind of alpha matte so we're going to use fractal noise in this instance. So we'll go to effect noise and grain fractal noise so in here I want to change the noise time to a block and I want to change the complexity to two.
Then I'm gonna go into the transform then check uniform scaling increase the width so we have some kind of lines like this and then I want to increase the contrast here decrease the brightness and get something like that going and then hold alt and click on a stop punch for the evolution and here.
I want to write something like prime times 1000 and this is just going to change the effects on it to something like this so this is a really cool kind of glitch text effect and glitch mask effect.
Step 5. Track Texture
We can also go a little bit more in detail but that's completely up to you and we're going to be using this to yeah show the glitch texture that is below it right here so everything that's why it is going to show the texture everything that's black is going to well is not going to show the texture.
So now go to the track map option if you don't see that toggle the switches here and we're going to use a luma matte there we go so now we have this glitch mask effect going on which is really cool so now what want to do is just select these two layers here and go for layer precompose.
And just rename this to glitch mask effect and of course you can duplicate this and offset this a little bit so you have two of these which is going to add a little bit more variation in there and now we have a really cool glitch mask effect texture.
The only problem is that it doesn't show on myself so what we'll be doing is click on your footage layer right here drag this above one of the effects go to edit and duplicate it one more time because we have two layers and bring it on top here.
Step 6. Change track map
Then we want to change the track map to alpha matte and for the other one as well and there we go so now we have that kind of glitch mask effect on ourselves one more thing that we have to do is duplicate our footage one more time edit duplicate put it just on top or below the glitch mask effects right here and we're going for noise well effect noise.
And grain add noise and we're just going to increase the noise here do something like 100 and enable that layer is vol so we can actually see it and now we have something like that going so you can play around with this something like that looks now I have something like that.
So that's really really cool so what we want to do is just select all of these layers and go for layer precompose glitch mask effect and now you can also go for glitch mask effect distort.
Step 7. Add displacement map
Now we're going to add a displacement map here and if you're going to increase that see what happens now so now we have that nice kind of deformation in here which is really really cool and what you can do as well is go into the glitch effect here and open the glitch mask effect and click on the fractal noise here.
And go to edit copy and then go back to the main composition and edit paste and enable this layer for now so we can concentrate on it you can go into the transform and maybe and decrease the height a little bit add more complexity it's completely up to you let's see what that does that looks actually.
And now we can use this layer as an glitch mask effect for the displacement map so if we uncheck this layer go back to the glitch mask effect and add another instance of the displacement map or just click on it.
And go to edit duplicate to duplicate his effect but instead of using the displacement map glitch we're going to use fractal noise and also make sure that you go in here.
Step 8. Masks effects
Now choose effects and masks now look what we have now so now we have something like that going on which is actually really cool kind of deforming the entire glitch mask effect so we're going to be using a little bit of horizontal displacement to get something like that going and of course.
What you want to do is select these two layers and trim them to something like two seconds and then we start normal and then at two seconds I think it's a little bit too much of displacement here so I'm going to change it to like fly to keep it very subtle but that looks.
Conclusion
Friends, in today's video I taught you how you can create glitch mask effects from your laptop or computer with the of adobe after effect. This effect is very tremendous. If you put it in your video, then your video will become very super cool.
