After Effects: Noise
Bad Tv Effect After Effects
Whether you want simple grain or an extreme noisy look (like below), you can dial in the perfect amount of noise. This effect is perfect for recreating the look of old film or analog broadcast video.
After Effects: Color Boxes
One of our favorite tools in this free After Effects template is the color box glitch. This grungy effect easily recreates the look of a bad broadcast transmission or damaged video file.
After Effects: Flicker
Sometimes a simple flicker is all you need to make your video appear more analog. This simple effect can be used to simulate a bad TV or projector.
After Effects: Tuning
Switching channels on a vintage TV? That’s just what this look will achieve. It’s the perfect effect for a simulated television broadcast. It’s also useful for creating funky video transitions.
After Effects: Turbulence
Add some waves to your video with turbulence. We’ve simplified the turbulence noise effect in After Effects. Combine it with a matte to add turbulence to just part of the video frame.
After Effects: Pixel Blending
Want your video to have a more 21st century style distortion? Then turn up the Pixel Blending effect. This effect analyzes the frames before and after to find pixelated color commonalities. It’s subtle, but if you want to give your video a codec-inspired look, this is a great option.
After Effects: Rolling Bars
Similar to the above tuning effect, rolling bars adds noise for a more VCR-style effect. You’ve instantly got a bad signal with loads of horizontal interference, just like the bad TVs of the past!
After Effects: Chromatic Aberration
Color fringing is typically an undesirable effect caused by bad lighting conditions or improper lens focusing. Quickly create a chromatic aberration glitch for a lo-fi or artsy look.
After Effects: Color TV Pixels
Simulating the look of RGB color pixels, this pixel effect is ideal for simulating a tv screen. This effect will immediately give your video a distinct TV look.

I undertook this small project to better learn the creation elements of After Effects, and what it can do beyond simple effects or added plug-ins.
This edit is taking some stock footage I filmed on a large hill, and making it look like it is playing back on an old 80s/90s CRT TV. While a similar look can be achieved with certain effects, for the purpose of this learning exercise, and for greater authenticity, I created the ‘screen’ look from scratch.
I began by drawing three identical shapes in one After Effects composition. These three shapes will become my colour pixels – Red, Blue and Green.
These three colour pixels are then to be expanded out thousands of times so that they can display the entire screen’s worth of footage. To do this effectively, the original composition is pre-composed before being duplicated many hundreds of times. The pre-composition can still be opened, in its own separate composition, and any change made to it will also effect the original composition, but on its much larger scale.
This was a good introduction to using pre-compositions. an important part of After Effects when doing a large amount of post-production.
The video is then imported behind the pixels, but the effect is not just to have these thousands of pixels as an overlay. I want to actually use these pixels to display the three colour channels, Red, Green and Blue.
This can be achieved by going back to the original three pixels, covering two and leaving just one showing. Due to my pre-composition, this ‘covering’ will effect all of the duplicated pixels in my main composition. Back on the footage, I split the three colour channels and reduced the Green and Blue to 0 leaving only the red channel displaying colour. This first pixel then becomes my red pixel. Return and repeat for Blue and then Green.
Now I have my three colour channels successfully separated into my three large old-tv style pixels. The footage looks authentic as the colour is now actually only displayed through these pixels. This can clearly be seen when I zoom into the footage.
Crt Tv Effect After Effects
Now I have the desired ‘old screen’ look, I modified the colour to better match the colour an old TV would display, I added a lens effect to make the screen look 3D, and photoshopped an image of an old CRT TV to act as a border for the screen.
