    [Damon Jackman] “Just wondering if anyone could help identify the flickering/grainy effect used at the start of this video…”

    It looks like it could be a combination of Aged Film and Vignette with possibly a dash of Film Grain.

    Here’s a custom FCPX effect that has all of the original motion effect controls accessible:

    Thanks for the help guys!

    Just wondering how they get the dotting effect. Seems like a plugin for FCPX as I can’t find anything similar in the existing effects.

    What exactly do you mean with dotted effect? If you mean the white specs that appear randomly for a frame then you just need to crank up the dust (and perhaps hairs) slider in the aged film plugin.

    BTW If you don’t need the frame slipping and focusing effects then you could also just use an overlay like this:

    just search for old film or damaged film overlay on youtube, videohive, shutterstock.com or any other stock footage vendor.
