It totally is. This is definitely in line with the kind of effect I am going for, but am looking to achieve it without uploading a video to YouTube 1000 times. Any thoughts on replicating it in a more controlled manner (not requiring me to upload 1000 times)?

Well, just re-encode the video over and over again. That's essentially what that guy did. :D

<p>Have a look at AEScripts <a href="http://aescripts.com/tv-distortion-bundle/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">TV Distortion Bundle</a>. It has a bunch of scripts that can be used to create distortion and artefacts on videos. Its just a matter of tweaking them to your liking and then keyframing the settings rather than just using a preset. </p>

  <ul>
  <li><strong>DataGlitch</strong>: Data Glitch creates realistic digital image glitch    effects on the fly. You can control the glitch pattern, type of<br>
  glitch and create awesome audio reactive image glitch effects. Data<br>
  Glitch also helps you to create controllable compression artifacts<br>
  with ease.  </li>
  <li><strong>BadTV</strong>: BadTV    creates realistic analog TV distortion with control over    vertical,horizontal syncs and scanline distortion.

  Aberration.</li>

<p>I am looking to intentionally distort a video file. Filters and effects are not really doing it for me, they are simply too generic or predictable over the course of a 2-3 minute video. I am looking for something that is close to entirely random. I would like to still be able to decipher the video content (in some manner, at least recognize it). Having the video overlaid with all kinds of random effects (I am really open to anything, as long as it changes over the course of the video) is what I am aiming for.</p>

<p>I care less about it, but any similar suggestions for audio would be great!</p>

<p>I really look forward to any creative suggestions. I've done a bit of research and haven't got anywhere satisfying. I know this is probably a silly question.</p>

John Rygielski is spot on. Yes, toss us a bone, we need to know what tools you have in your shed, e.g. video editors, or other applications, as well as your level of expertise on each.

Sorry, meant to add something about this. I have OS X/XP/Win7 and have access to Adobe Premier/After Effects as well as Final Cut Pro. I am not an expert in either, but am definitely proficient and have no issues getting what I need from them. Not sure if you are looking for anything more specific.
