  • Film projector over footage

    Posted by Jane Doe on January 14, 2015 at 3:41 pm

    I have some footage of a man in front of a wall. I would like to overlay a second piece of footage as if it’s being projected onto the wall by an old film projector.

    Can anyone suggest the best way to achieve this effect. Thank you!

    Put your second footage on top, then change the blending mode to screen or overlay. You can also adjust opacity for desired look.

    You might also want to add some flicker, if it’s from an old film projector, by adding a wiggle expression to the opacity.
