Jitter Recipes - Top Picks

I have chosen just three recipes as most of the ones I am trying I can't seem to get to do anything, or they don't do anything very exciting.

1) Party Lights [#48]
This is by far my favorite recipe. It emits particles from a point which the user can dynamically interact with. It has settings for glowing and streaks, all of which look very beautiful. I'm a huge particle fan for motion graphics to begin with.

2) Verlits [#41]
This is the first recipe I stumbled upon that I really spent a long time on and was inspired to get in and start tweaking it. There are a few points floating around, connecting to another point via a line. You can change the tension of the connected lines to make the unit behave as a very interesting organic whole. There is some default noise to the particles which make it move around in an interesting way by default.

3) Scrolly Brush [#44]
This one isn't actually that exciting, I thought it just functioned well. Basically you can paint on a surface, however as you paint the surface starts sliding away at a speed and direction you choose, but the image tessellates so whatever goes off one edge comes on the opposite so you can create interesting seamless patterns very quickly.

These are my favorites too especially Party lights and verlits. Apart from these I also liked

SHATTER #37
This can be used as a transition for videos. It can be created as a explosion of video pieces.

ANIMATOR #31
I found this interesting as we can create a Origami representation using this. As a Origami fan, this was my 1st thought after trying this. This can also be used to create random abstract backgrounds.

debris #27
This jitter caught my attention as a creepy one. Im planning to use this effect in one of my videos.
