Project file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zEy_-nNO3-B2Fmj7nZgzPPq5rjuX9Pra/view?usp=share_link I’m trying to create a VHS style glitch effect on my text. I’ve tried following this tutorial, but he’s doing it in Eevee whereas my project is in Cycles, which I think is causing some problems (alth…

[image] GuyTDraker: And if possible even keep the pink glow, Well I was lazy and just used the image as a texture. :rofl: [image] GuyTDraker: Normally when I have something like this I render the background first, then render the foreground with a transparent background and combine them …

[image] GuyTDraker: I’m aware that my project is a little different to the one in the tutorial as he doesn’t have any background image and is doing it in Eevee, which is probably why I’m running in to problems. I agree, but not just because you’re not using Eevee… I wouldn’t even be using Ble…

That’s just a VHS glitch overlay though, I’m after something a little more specific then that, and I want to use it on the very specific text and graphics I’ve already designed in Blender. I don’t really want to have to download and learn the basics of DaVinci Resolve and have to make my text graph…

The other thing is I don’t think it’s because I’m doing it in Cycles. I’ve tried it in Eevee as well and still can’t get it to be transparent…

I do not know the exact effect you are after, but using displaced geometry like that is really heavy duty. You could try using a plane and instead of displacing play with the normal’s, it would be much easier to handle. VHS TITLES2(1).blend (433.9 KB) Note the file size (it is compressed in Blend…

Oh my god, thank you so much!! That looks even closer to the effect I’m after than the tutorial! The only other thing I is want to have the background image have the same dark lighting that it does before the glitch begins. So the first 50 frames of it I want it to look like the below image, then a…

Dude you are a god damn legend!!! This is exactly what I’m looking for! Don’t even think I need the glow to be effected by the glitch but if I do, as you say, I can easily tweak it a little with some keyframes! For some reason though whenever I open the file blender crashes and quits instantly. I’m…

[image] GuyTDraker: For some reason though whenever I open the file blender crashes and quits instantly. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH Oh no I must have saved it in 4.0 Files from 4.0 are not backwards compatible. I did the first one in 3.5 to avoid that. I will have to redo it. Will get back.

Oh god thank you so much! I really should just update to 4 shouldn’t I :rofl::

[image] GuyTDraker: I really should just update to 4 shouldn’t I I would not recommend it yet it is still Alpha and can crash. Here it is for 3.5 you should be able to open this one. VHS TITLESB3.5.blend (495.2 KB) It is worth seeing the effect when you slide the factor of the mix shader n…

Thank you so much again dude, you’re a life saver!!!
