Glitch Effects?

[jointri]

When making an animation in krita, how would one do stuff like VHS glitches:

Or even something like this from serial experiments lain:

Would this be one of those situations where it’s less work to just use after effects rather than manually add effects to every frame one at a time?

For me personally, I think it will take much less work to put an effect on it in Premier Pro/After Effects.

Yeah, post production is the way…even animation studio do it like

In Filter > GMIC you’ll find plenty of filters to do glitches and degradations on your artworks (eg. Degradation category).

But I agree here with Sketchy and Lenovoaxioo. This might be probably a better and more flexible idea to create the effect as a video post-effect over your Krita frame-by-frame animation (eg. using Blender).

Is blender really the most appropriate program to use though? It feels like overkill because of how complex yet powerful it is.

[Deevad]

It depends the perspective.

If you look for adding a single effect and think it will be the only one time in your whole life, then yes I agree it is overkill to learn how to use the Blender Video Sequence editor and nodes system to make this one time effect.

But if you start doing an animation project and plan to do more of it in the future, then mastering a tool like Blender will quickly open a large new vocabulary of effect and possibilities for your hand drawn frame. In this case, it might be a good investment to learn how to use it for the long term.
