RGB Split

The picture briefly breaks like a digital or analog error, with distortions, pixelation and abrupt shifts; the broad umbrella that includes RGB Split and Datamosh.

This is for a motion graphics video. Hit [scene] with a "Glitch Effect" (also called a digital glitch, glitch art or a glitch transition): for a moment the picture breaks like a signal error, then snaps back as if nothing happened.
Tear it into horizontal bands that jump sideways, split the colours on the torn parts, drop in a few stray blocks and jolt the whole frame — changing abruptly from frame to frame, never smoothly. It comes in short bursts; a constant worn texture would be a VHS look instead.
Keep each burst brief within [duration], and avoid flashing the whole frame bright and dark.

A ring or dome races outward from an impact point, often distorting the picture behind it as it passes.

This is for a motion graphics video. Add a "Shockwave" (also called a shock wave) to the impact in [scene]: a ring races outward from the point of the hit.
As it passes it should bend and push the picture behind it, then thin out and fade — a ring that only decorates an element and leaves the picture untouched is a circle burst.
Fire it on the exact frame of the impact and let it cross the frame within [duration], fast at first and slowing as it spreads.

Light or imagery is stretched into long, flowing streaks as the picture is exposed through a moving slit, giving a psychedelic tunnel of color.

This is for a motion graphics video. Give [scene] a "Slit-Scan" look (also called the star gate effect): the picture is exposed through a narrow slit that travels across the frame, so each strip of the image comes from a different moment.
Whatever moves should stretch into long, flowing streaks that bend along its path, while whatever holds still stays sharp — separate ghost copies would be an echo, and an even smear along the direction of travel is motion blur.
Let the streaks build and resolve over [duration], and move the slit at a steady pace so the stretch stays continuous.

Action plays back at a constant speed slower than real time so detail and weight become visible; differs from Speed Ramp in that the speed does not change.

This is for a motion graphics video. Play [scene] in "Slow Motion" (also called slo-mo or overcranking).
Hold one constant speed, slower than real time, from the first frame to the last so weight and detail become visible — if the speed changes partway through, that is a speed ramp.
Stretch the moment across [duration], and keep the motion smooth with no stutter between frames.
