  • Looking for plugins fixing old footage

    Hi!
    I have loaded around 20 reels of Umatic containing films from 1915 and forward(transfered from old 16 mm to umatic around 20 years ago)into my Premiere system. So its a mixture of old black and white 16 mm films to original umatic low and high band video.
    Can fix some issues with premieres own color correcion tools but i´m looking for some basic good plugins to fix the older films for speedeing up the editing.
    So what do you advice?

    What do you mean with fixing old footage? Problems like dust, scratches, etc..? I don´t know any plugin to fix this, except perhaps adding some soft blur, but i think it´s no worth using blur as the images will loose sharpen.
    For colour correction you can apply Premiere´s Fast Colour Correction or three way color correction it in one clip, save this colour correction as a preset and apply it to all the others to automate the job. Also for colour correction there´s a plugin from Red Giant, Magic Bullet Looks, but i think that for your needs it could be enough the Premiere fast colour correction saved as a preset, as the MBL take more time to render and his presets are usually a little bit agressive with the image.
