Make a video in Glitch / Flicker

A sample frame rendered in the Glitch / Flicker visual theme

Where to use this theme

Internet mysteries and lost-media stories
Conspiracy and unsettling narration
Short, sharp intros and stingers

Think twice for

Long-form anything — the effect wears out fast
Accessibility-sensitive audiences

Choosing Glitch / Flicker

What it buys you, and what it costs you. Both matter — you are locking every scene in the video to this.

Advantages

Unmistakable unease with no narration needed
Strong scroll-stopping energy in a feed
Covers imperfect source imagery convincingly

Trade-offs

Strobing and flicker are a real problem for photosensitive viewers — use it in short bursts
Noise and tearing eat bitrate and can look like a broken upload

What every scene is told to look like

This line goes into the prompt for every single image in your video. It is why scene 3 and scene 27 look like the same production, and it is the whole job of a theme.
