What It Does
Motion Mosh creates datamosh-style glitch aesthetics in real time by hijacking motion to generate trailing effects and pixel displacements. The GPU-accelerated plugin runs directly in After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Media Encoder, letting you design glitch effects interactively without the traditional export-import workflow that datamoshing techniques typically require.
Apply it to footage layers for glitch transitions, text animations, or standalone effects. Stack it with native After Effects tools like Mosaic or Hue/Saturation to customize the look.
Key Features
GPU acceleration delivers real-time preview and rendering. All parameters are keyframable, so you can animate the effect over time. Control glitch intensity with the Trails parameter, adjust pixel displacement, and dial the Amount up or down for transition effects.
Works across Adobe apps. Available in After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Media Encoder. Compatible with older GPUs like the GTX 1050 and 1080 (as of version 1.2.2).
Adapts to different layer types. Motion Mosh responds to text layers, roto masks, and pairs naturally with native effects. For example, applying a Mosaic effect before Motion Mosh increases pixelation progressively. Duplicating a moshed layer with Difference blend mode, then adding Levels and Hue/Saturation, creates high-contrast chromatic glitch looks.
Animation presets included. The plugin ships with sample projects and animation presets for transitions, asset loops, and text animations. These presets live in the ZIP file you download.
Who It’s For
Motion Mosh suits editors working on music videos, experimental films, title sequences, or any project where digital glitch aesthetics fit the creative direction. It’s also useful for VJs and live performance designers who need real-time feedback while designing glitch effects.
