How to get a glitch effect?

Hello!

I have a clip of an Aztec temple that I want to "glitch" between a version of the same temple but in red. The main clip would play with a glitch effect, and in the areas where it glitches, I'd like to reveal glimpses of the red environment underneath. It should create the appearance that the screen is glitching between the two clips.

Can anyone help me figure out how to achieve this?

Thanks in advance!

i would look for one or multiple black and white glitch transitions/mask clips. than on the first 2 layers i would put your footage and on the 3th layer the b&w clips. Set that layer 3 to mask mode to "one Below". This will now show layer 2 everywhere where the mask layer (3) is fully white and layer 1 where its 100% black any grays will act as a mixer showing/mixing the 2 sources together. hope that helps you... if you have more questions just ask,]

greetings

Tijn
