What Pixel Sort does
Pixel Sort smears and sorts pixels along the frame, dissolving one clip into the next with a glitch-art streak. It runs entirely on the GPU as a real After Effects, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve transition, so the preview matches the render.
Drop it between two clips on your timeline and the outgoing shot streaks and sorts into the incoming one. The timing and the look are fully adjustable and keyframable, so you can set how far the pixels run and which way they sort.
