    Hello,

    I need to create a kind of burned effect on some shots in a movie im making.
    When you ever watched a surffilm you probebly seen it.
    Its like a sort of a burned effect on the edges of clips and the duration is only a couple of frames.
    Tryed something like cc burn, but it doesnt look right.
    I found a clip on the internet for example:

    If I were you I’d play around with some color solids with different blending modes and masks applied to them. Maybe an adjustment layer as well that blows out the saturation a bit or alters the color. Then it’s simply a matter of animating the opacity of these layers drastically over a few frames. I’d recommend using a Null object and linking the opacity of the ‘burn’ layers to its opacity, you could also add expression that stutters the footage a bit based on the opacity of the Null object (if you like that old film look).

    This is assuming I understood the effect you’re looking for, the YouTube footage didn’t load all the way for me =)

    that stuff is shot on 16mm and 8mm film, so its not an effect its an actual defect in the film or processing.

    Here’s what I’d do:

    Create an Adjustment Layer and apply a Fractal Noise (no complexity at all) + Blur (5 to 7) + Ramp (red and orange) and play with the blending modes.

    The rest is only a matter of tweaking.

    Good luck.

    You mean like someone opened the back of the camera or loaded the reels in daylight?

    This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

    Ok Guys thanks.
    I mested around with Fractel noise, CC toner, blurs, and the modes like Justin said.
    Its looks OK now.
