old film effects
Hi,
I’m making a video and needing an old film/grainy look and I have a bunch of questions about the matter. I would be working on both After Effects 6.5 and Premiere Pro 2.0. How can the old film look be achieved in Premiere Pro? Would it be better to do it on AE or PP? And what would be the most efficient way of doing it as I do have quite a lot of footage?
Thank you sooo much.

It is going to be much easier (and free) to do it in AE. There are a couple of plugins for Premiere (not even sure if they still work in PP2), but they aren’t cheap for what they do.
If you don’t have dynamic link, once you are done editing, just export uncompressed, then apply the filter in AE, or use one of the tutorials to get the effect you need (that’s assuming you want the entire thing in old film look?)

Hello,
Thank you. I’ll try to do that. I need it for about 1/4 through the video. I have tried adding noise, scratch&dust, adjust the colour and shake the footage a bit, but it just doesn’t give the look I wanted. I’ll play around with it some more, but otherwise I’d do it in AE as you suggested.
Thank you 🙂

Depending on what you are working with for footage and how it could be handled, the best and fastest old film effect I’ve seen to date is Canopus’ “Old Movie” effect. It’s included in Edius and is real-time on top of it. Vignetting (sp?), dust, scratches, gate weave, frame blending…all adjustable from a master dialogue.
I’ve done several projects where I’ve used Edius specifically for that…maybe you might have a friend that has Edius that could process the footage for you?

Hmm, I’m not sure if I have access to that, most of my friends are using Final Cut Pro and I’ve never come across it at work… but I’ll look around and *fingers crossed* probably one of my friends happen to have it.
I’m working with some footage and a bunch of still images. I’ve done some experiments on AE and it worked great on the stills, but not that great on footage… so I’ll have to adjust some things and experiment some more in PP.
Thanks a lot 🙂
