That means, for V3, click the number to the right of the ‘Red’ channel, type in ‘100’, then type in ‘0’ for the ‘Green’ and ‘Blue’ channels.įinally, set the ‘Blend Mode’ of each track to ‘Screen’. The idea here is that you want V3 to be only the red channel, V2 to be only the green channel, and V1 to be only the blue channel. You’ll see a “Red”, “Green”, and “Blue” option. Since you’ve dragged the effect onto your video clips, you will now have a “Color Balance (RGB)” option in your Effect Controls window (top-left window of Premiere).Ĭlick the video on your V3 track to select it and, in your Effect Control window, click the arrow to the left of “Color Balance (RGB)” to expand its options. Drag “Color Balance (RGB)” onto each one of your 3 tracks. Duplicate the track once more onto V3.Ĭlick on the effects tab. When you alt+click+drag, you’re duplicating your video track. Hold alt and click + drag the video up onto the V2 track. We are going to separate the red, green, and blue channels of our gameplay footage. Now we’re going to do a colour glitch effect.Įxplanation: Every image on your computer is made by combining red, green, and blue in various amounts.
