Hi Hackers!

I'm building a video editor for beginner youtubers, focused on insane speed of editing, and insane simplicity.

A recent user asked me to add glitch effects. I've had this idea for a while, but I know it's kinda' hard to implement.

So, without further ado: would you be interested in a random glitch generator?

My idea is this: I'll have a wizard, and guide you on each step, towards the glitch effect you want (which will be random).

Step 1: generate several glitch effects, with different rectangles where the glitch happens. You will select the ones that best match your scenario

Step 2: generate different types of glitches - blur, directional blur, chromatic aberration, etc.

Step 3: generate glitch effects in different locations of the screen (top-left/top-right/../center/etc)

Step 4: generate different numbers of glitch rectangles (small number to large number).

You, at each step, could select one effect, and click "Give me more" - which would generate more similar glitch effects, and move to the next step.

This is work in progress (more like, an idea in progress :)), so your input is appreciated!

Pretty much, what's in the title. My focus is to be extremely easy to use, and I want to cut video editing time at least 5 fold.

My target audience is beginning youtubers, youtubers wanting to grow their channel.

With that in mind, what are your biggest editing pain points? Those that drain you out, and take most time? Thanks for sharing!

What I mean is this: assume your video editor could do wonders (lots of speed optimizations) with those extra 16 GB of RAM.

Would you then buy the extra RAM?

Personally, I would do it in a heart beat. But I'm curious what you guys think.
