Bloom/Burn Out/Film Look Transition in FCP

[bogiesan] “Expensive for a single download ($200-$400 WHEW!) but if your project depends on selling the effect it’s cheaper than trying to recreate it at $100/hour that can’t be billed.”
Cheaper to get Graeme’s Nattress filters. We’re using his Big Box of Tricks more and more.

Assuming the effect you’re looking for is that of a ‘film camera being turned on and off’ (the flash to flash look, as it were) rather than the ‘film can containing the negative was inadvertently opened before development and the person responsible is about to get fired look,’ then there is one missing element from the look you’re trying to create.
Whenever I’ve used this effect, I always do a time remap of about 5 to 8 frames before and after the cut to mimic the film slowing and speeding up through the gate. The time remap before the cut ramps the speed up, the one after the cut ramps it down to 100%. Think “Man on Fire” and that’s the basic look.
As far as adding other elements (film grain, dust, etc), I’ve always been a fan of the Magic Bullet Misfire effects. They’re render whores, but they’re the executive call girls of the plug-in market.
Not that I’ve ever payed for sex… but… that’s WAY OT.

One way that I’ve done this in many different NLE’s is using the additive dissolve transition.
Add a white clip to the transition point. Then do an additive dissolve to about 50% or so until the outgoing starts to blow out, then flashes to white. You can use the same clip to then transition into the incoming clip.
What a few real film gate effects to get the timing right.
