Those of you born in and around the early 90s will remember those music videos from that era that had distorted effects that made it look like the camera was broken at that moment. This was the time when the music industry was beginning to evolve and adapt to then experimental genres like electronic, house and noise.

While creating intentional glitches in videos was a complicated procedure a decade or two ago, the last few years have seen the rise of video editing apps for use on mobile phones and making a video with glitch effects has become easier than ever. In this article, we are going to guide you on how to easily create glitch videos on your Android phone.

Please note: This guide requires you to install a third-party app on your Android smartphone. But we made sure that the recommended app offers the most functionality compared to other apps on Google Play.

While the app itself is very flexible for day-to-day video editing, there is one major reason why we selected the Video Editor – Glitch Video Effects app for creating glitch effects on videos. And the reason is that the app won the Play Users’ Choice App of 2019 when Google announced the Google Play Best of 2019 awards for apps on Android. The app has more than 10 million downloads on Google Play with an overall rating of 4.6 stars out of 5 from 73.7k users, at the time of writing.
