    ok so im working on this little project and im a bit stuck. im looking for i guess it would be considered film scratch. ya know the shakey lines and mixed text that you see before an old film countdown. i have final cut express and after effects cs3 i only need that effect for about 5 seconds so i would prefer just a free scratch film download but if its something more beneficial for me to make myself im more then willing to do that also. i have an ald film filter but what im really looking for is the random text and the flashes. if anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated

    Take a look at CGM’s Aged Film plug-in. It is free and works with Final Cut Pro and Express. So you will be good to go. Download the plug-in here: https://www.cgm-online.com/cgi-bin/dve_downloadcount.pl
    You want the “CGM Aged Film LE” one. Also feel free to take a look at this Creating an Old Film look tutorial in FCP. Hope this helps and best of luck.
