How to make the "Glitch" effect with AI
The Glitch effect 📺 is one of those that stops the scroll. On Viralio you get it with no complicated software — start from a photo or from text and describe the effect in the prompt.
The best results come on Veo 3 (cinematic + audio) and Seedream (smooth vertical), using image-to-video to apply the effect to your own image.

- Generate 2-3 variants and pick the one where the effect reads most clearly.
- Pair it with the right sound (native audio on Veo 3) or add an SFX in editing for extra impact.
