glitch + gifs == glitchgifs

forfy asked:

Question: I've been dabbling more and more into glitch work, but I've not had much luck with making animated glitches (glitchgifs) - do you have any tips, guides, advice, etc. for someone wanting to learn more about how to make their own? Thanks!

there are basically three techniques for making glitch gifs:

1. create multiple glitches from the same source, then assemble them into a gif
2. glitch a video, then take some of the glitched frames and assemble them into a gif
3. glitch a gif file directly

unless you’re using a technique like the google+ transparent black glitch, glitching gif files directly can be tricky because they break pretty easily. but you can use a program called irfanview to open your damaged gifs and export the individual frames, then assemble those frames back into a working gif. steelanteater has posted a tutorial for using irfanview to retrieve the frames from damaged gif files.
