Glitch logo intro.

How the glitch intro works

Instead of a smooth entrance, this look cuts your logo in with torn frames and red, green and blue channels pulled apart, like a broken video signal. Once the logo has landed it stays readable, with two short glitches afterwards to keep it alive.

The glitches are not random: render the same settings again next week and you get the identical clip, which keeps your intro consistent from video to video.

Dialling in the distortion

• Distortion is the intensity slider for this look. Higher pushes the tears and colour split further; lower keeps the glitch subtle.
• Primary colour: a strong single colour, such as the default red or an electric blue, keeps the logo bold between glitches.
• Background: near-black keeps the colour split crisp.
• Reveal speed: faster suits a hard, quick cut-in; slower lets viewers see the tears.

Where a glitch intro fits

Glitch works as a short sting before gaming clips, tech reviews or music. Pick 4 seconds for a quick hit or 6 seconds to give the after-glitches room. Use 9:16 for Shorts and TikTok, 16:9 for YouTube and Twitch, and add Bright whoosh for a sharper cut.

On Pro, batch export renders several ratios and sizes into one ZIP, so the vertical and widescreen versions come out together. More gaming ideas are on the gaming intro page.
