Ghost Flicker Effect for DaVinci Resolve | Paranormal Ghosting & Visual Echo Effect

Create Paranormal Ghosting, Spectral Flicker, and Visual Echo Effects for Horror, Glitch, and Creative Video Projects

Ghost Flicker is a creative visual effect for DaVinci Resolve that adds flickering ghost images, spectral echoes, and intermittent visual disturbances to your footage. The effect can create anything from subtle visual instability and dreamlike motion to unsettling paranormal appearances and stylized glitch aesthetics.

Ideal for horror films, supernatural scenes, suspense sequences, music videos, experimental edits, psychological storytelling, and creative visual effects, Ghost Flicker introduces an unpredictable visual presence that briefly appears and disappears throughout the footage.

Ghost Flicker is equally effective for ghost sightings, haunted environments, memory flashbacks, dream sequences, digital interference, and atmospheric visual distortions, adding an unsettling presence that transforms ordinary footage into something far more unusual and memorable.
