Question

Trying to create a "flicker" effect on a path/shape

I have a video of earth turning slowly in space. I would like to create a circle that appears around Earth, and a line that animates off of that and I'm going to add some basic text like "Earth, Population x" 

 

Super simple premise. I've got the shapes down and animated with a trim path. The ellipse and the line are two separate shapes and the video of earth turning is it's own layer as well. 

 

Now the question is, how do I add a "flicker" effect to the circle and line. I want them to glitch as they animate. I can do it simply with messing with the opacity but I'd like there to be some displacement along the path too. I can probably do this with an overlay but I'm not used to AE and I'm not sure if that's possible or not?

 

Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Any "digital glitch" or "bad TV" tutorial can teach you any number of techniques like using displacement maps or creating faux chromatic abberations.
