Creating and old flickering film effect
Does anyone remember the Metz ‘Judderman’ ad?

I want to know how to create that ‘jerky’ almost stop motion effect that they use. I’ve tried deleting a few frames here and there but it just doesn’t have the same effect. I’m using Avid but wondered if I would I be better off using something else like After Effects or Photoshop instead?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Some of the commercial in the example you used IS using stop motion. If that’s the specific look you’re trying to achieve, you could use AE with Cinelook plugin. You can achieve most any film look you might desire (scratches included). You’ll need to add a vignette mask that pulses and possibly some strobe.
You can probably create the vignette, color-correction and strobing in Avid but the filmlook is not something Avid has and you’d need to find the appropriate plug-in for Avid. The strobing can be done by adding a timewarp effect.
Good luck,

I keep a reel of old film scratches online for this. Helps alot and greatly speeds things up.
In addition to glows, blurs and brightness changes, I add flickers by using reposition effects here and there. Ya dont even have to keyframe em most of the time. Just pop em in and out and maybe add some glows to help those transitions out a bit.
