What are the different types of glitch effects?

Glitch effects fall into several distinct categories, each with unique visual characteristics and creation methods.

Digital corruption effects include pixel sorting, hex editing artifacts, JPEG compression glitches, and databending -opening files in unintended software.

Color-based effects encompass RGB channel separation, chromatic aberration, color banding, and posterization artifacts.

Video-specific effects include datamoshing (keyframe removal), video feedback loops, scan line distortion, and VHS-style tracking errors.

Analog effects cover circuit bending results, CRT monitor distortions, and signal interference patterns.

Displacement effects include wave distortion, pixel displacement, slice shifting, and fragmentation. Each category offers different aesthetic possibilities and technical approaches to explore.
