If you don’t have time to watch glitch tutorials and learn how to make them in all those complicated video editing programs, what you need are glitch video overlays. They are easy to use, you can duplicate them, re-use them as many times as you want, or even color correct them and make them unique! Although there are many available glitch tutorials, there aren’t that many good overlays that you can just put over your video or images, and have them do the job for you. That is why we found some amazing Free Glitch Overlays for you, and packed them up in a folder at the end of this article – but before you go there, maybe you should look at our examples, and check out some tips on how to best use the free glitch overlays we found for you!
We will now present to you some of the overlays in the pack, together with the tips we mentioned: remember that the glitch overlays are such that they look completely different on different backgrounds!
Free Glitch Overlays – Examples & Tips
We’ve recently released A Definitive Guide Through Image Overlay Blending Modes that you might want to check out if you’ve not used overlays a lot in the past. In case you have, you can still visit this article: we covered even the blend modes that are unique and used rarely, but can make create great magic when used properly!
If you like these glitches, and you also like sci-fi (we believe these two go together, sometimes), you might want to check out Glitch – the TV series! It might make your afternoon even better, and who knows, maybe you get inspired to use some glitch overlays 🙂
You might also want to learn what a glitch is. We spend so much time editing with these overlays, making glitches on purpose, or getting annoyed when they happen accidentally in our videos, and we don’t even know where they came from! It’s good that Wikipedia has our backs – let’s read something about glitches!
Back to business: Another good use for a glitch overlay is over an already glitched image – double glitch can look really good! Take a look at our example below:
Are you ready to try using these free glitch overlays yourself? Then scroll down just a bit more, cause you’re almost there! Before you go, take a look at another simple image that we brought to life using one of these glitch overlays.
