Final Cut HD how to add an old grainy look to clips?
Posted by Aaron Bartlett on April 15, 2008 at 4:01 pmYo,
Just wondering if it is possible to add an old grainy 16:9 look to some clips, nothing fancy but I remember back in the day I used to be able to do it on movie maker on the pc.
Thanks,
Aaron

Good luck.

April 19, 2008 at 7:16 pmIn my book, I describe how to do just that, go to QT to get the looks. However, I make scratches, etc. on black backgrounds and just layer them on top of the footage in the timeline–then just add a composite mode and adjust opacity to taste.
