Channel Drift

Separate, swap, desync, or offset colour channels for chromatic drift and RGB signal errors.

Choose a tool

Choose RGB Shift for independent channel offsets, Channel Swap for rewiring, or HSV Desync for colour changing independently from brightness. Start with small offsets or shifts and inspect contrasting edges.

In this section

RGB Shift

Offset red, green, and blue channels separately for classic chromatic glitch fringing.

Channel Swap

Rewire colour channels so red, green, blue, or alpha exchange roles.

HSV Desync

Separate hue, saturation, and value timing so colour drifts independently from brightness.

Use it in the app

Open a project and find Glitch → Channel Drift in the effects picker. Choose the specific tool, then select its layer in Layers to open the Effect Panel. Related modes may share a mode dropdown at the top of that panel. The pages below explain source requirements, first adjustments and conditional controls for each tool.
