Creating Omino Diffusion Glitch Transition in After Effects

Welcome to this step-by-step tutorial where I’ll guide you through the process of creating the Omino Diffusion Glitch Transition using After Effects. This transition is a fantastic way to add a unique flair to your edits. Let’s dive right into the process!

Step 1: Setting Up Your Clips

Before we begin, ensure that you have your two clips ready. This is crucial as the Omino Diffusion Glitch Transition will be applied between these clips. Start by creating an adjustment layer. To do this, navigate to the top menu, click on Layer, then New, and select Adjustment Layer. Once you have your adjustment layer, cut it to the desired length as shown below.

Step 2: Adding Omino Diffusion Effect

Now, head over to the Effects and Presets panel. Search for Omino Diffusion and drag it onto your adjustment layer. Next, we need to animate the effect. Set a keyframe for the effect at the beginning of the adjustment layer and then move to the end of the adjustment layer. Change the value to 1.250. This is where the magic begins!

Step 3: Graph Editor Adjustments

To smooth out the transition, select both keyframes and click F9. This will apply an Easy Ease. Now, open the Graph Editor and copy my graph settings to ensure a smooth transition. This step is crucial for achieving that professional look!

Step 4: Creating Additional Adjustment Layers

Next, create another adjustment layer. Cut it similarly to the first one and place it below the first adjustment layer. Now we’re going to add the S_Shake effect. Click on the start of this adjustment layer, enable the amplitude by clicking on the clock icon, and set the initial value to zero. You can also try a value like 0.200 for a different effect.

Step 5: Animating Amplitude

Move to the middle of the adjustment layer and set the amplitude to 0.550. Finally, return to the end of the layer and reset the amplitude back to zero. Again, apply Easy Ease and open the Graph Editor to replicate my graph settings. This is essential for maintaining consistency across your transitions.

Step 6: Adding Halftone Effect

Now it’s time to enhance our transition with the S_halftone effect. Create yet another adjustment layer, cut it according to the previous layers, and place it below them. Add the S_halftone effect to this layer. If you notice the dots, you can adjust the frequency to your liking. I find the default settings work just fine!

Step 7: Adjusting Opacity

Press T to open the opacity settings. Click on the clock icon to set a keyframe at the start of the adjustment layer. Move to the end and set the opacity to zero. Apply Easy Ease once again and open the Graph Editor to copy my graph settings. This will help in creating a smooth fade effect.

Step 8: Enabling Motion on the Second Adjustment Layer

Don’t forget to select the second adjustment layer and enable the motion of S_Shake. This will give your transition a dynamic look and feel, making it more engaging for your audience.

Step 9: Adding Text

Now, let’s add some text to enhance the effect. Create a text layer and type whatever you desire. Go back to the Effects and Presets panel, search for CC Mirror, and apply it to your text. Duplicate the CC Mirror effect and move it to the right side to create a mirrored effect.

Step 10: Animating Text

Click on the clock icon for both CC Mirror effects, setting their values from 80 to zero at the start of the text layer. Move to the end of the layer and reset the values back to 80. This creates a nice dynamic transition for your text as well.

Step 11: Finalizing Your Text Layer

Place the text layer below all three adjustment layers. Open the opacity settings by pressing T again. Set a keyframe at the beginning, move a few frames forward, and set another keyframe. Go back to the start and set the opacity value to zero. Adjust the keyframes as per your preference and apply Easy Ease by pressing F9.

Conclusion

And there you have it! You’ve successfully created an Omino Diffusion Glitch Transition in After Effects Tutorial. This technique not only enhances your edits but also adds a creative touch that can captivate your audience. Don’t hesitate to experiment with different values and effects to make it your own.
