What is the Glitch Pulse effect?
The glitch pulse effect applies a sequence of digital corruption artefacts — RGB channel splitting, scan-line flicker, pixel displacement, and chromatic aberration — to animate a still photo into a dynamic short-form video. The aesthetic draws from cassette-era glitch art, early internet error aesthetics, and contemporary music video production. It's heavily used in music content, gaming, and cyberpunk-themed posts.
