  Adding noise to match DV footage

  Posted by Elad Menashe on June 21, 2008 at 10:41 pm

  Hey there.
  I have a DV footage to which I intend to add still pictures taken by my digicam.
  problem is my footage is very noisy/grainy/blurry/you name it, while my still pictures are in top quality.
  what method do you recommend for matching DV look. The still pictures are 3D layers placed on a 2D DV footage.

  Thanks in advance
  Elad

  best advice i can give you is remove hard edges and artifacts, make footage larger and look more artistic. You could mess around with antialiasing with instant hd from red giant.

  Have you tried the Match Grain effect in AE?
