Matching dv compression
Hey Everybody,
I’m working on a project where I’m putting nice, clean, sharp graphics into some dv footage and it looks very cg. If I were working with film I would add some grain so it looks like it’s in the scene, but the footage isn’t grainy, it has horrible dv compression. Does anyone know a way to match dv compression or some way to fake it? The footage was shot DVC PRO.

If you have Saphire plugins “Jpeg Damage” would be worth considering.
Another thing you can do is create a gray solid, with all color and saturation set to 0 and brightness set to 50(if I recall correctly).
Then put a “noise” effect, turn it to 100 percent.
Then set you gray solid do “overlay”
Then adjust the opacity, and scale to make it look like big chunky compression.

Thanks. I’ll give that a try.
