Twitch by Video Copilot is a specialized chaos-engine and visual stylization plugin designed by Andrew Kramer for Adobe After Effects. Engineered to simulate kinetic glitches, high-impact film damage, synchronized twitch cuts, and erratic camera anomalies, Twitch centralizes six core visual operators under a unified controller, transforming clean digital layers into visceral, rhythm-driven motion design for music videos, action trailers, and broadcast motion graphics.

CORE OPERATORS & ASSET INVENTORY
• Blur Operator: Injects directional and erratic motion blur sweeps across active twitch cycles.
• Color Operator: Triggers RGB chromatic split artifacts, saturation spikes, and random color phase inversions.
• Light Operator: Generates explosive luminous flares, exposure flickers, and simulated optical projector burns.
• Scale Operator: Produces sudden snap-zooms, aspect-ratio bounces, and perspective scale pulses.
• Slide Operator: Generates horizontal and vertical frame slippage, simulating gate jump and scanline misalignments.
• Time Operator: Drives procedural frame stutters, temporal skipping, and brief frame reversal bursts.
• Included 25+ Sound Effects & 10 Presets: Ships with custom audio impacts/glitches calibrated to visual twitch pulses, alongside pre-configured stylistic setups.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS & HOST COMPATIBILITY
• Architecture: C++ Host Plugin (.aex for Windows, .plugin for macOS).
• Host Applications:
- Adobe After Effects: Universal legacy support spanning CS3, CS4, CS5, CS6 through Creative Cloud releases (historically verified across CC versions; modern releases may require manual plugin folder installation or official universal installer patches).
• Third-Party Dependencies: None (100% self-contained native plugin).
• Operating Systems: Native performance across macOS (legacy installers may leverage Rosetta 2 on modern Apple Silicon configurations) and Windows (64-bit/legacy 32-bit).
• Storage Footprint: Extremely compact, requiring under 150 MB for the core plugin and bundled sound assets.

KEY FEATURES
• Synchronized Chaos Engine: Modulates six visual operators concurrently using a centralized master intensity and speed control curve.
• Audio & Keyframe Triggering: Seamlessly links chaotic bursts to audio beats or timeline threshold keyframes to drive visual rhythm.
• Production Speed Multiplier: Replaces stacks of manual adjustment layers, blending modes, and complex procedural wiggle() expressions with a single unified effect panel.
