old film motion loop for text
How would you go about doing this or where to go to get effect of old film like they did on this clip on the left side of the screen. https://www.worshiphousemedia.com/index.cfm?hndl=details&tab=MM&id=7168 .
What I want to do is have the white text on a black screen with the old film white marks and spots superimposed over it like they did in the example.
Thanks chad

create a long image in photoshop or illustrator (you could do it in ae, but i think ps or ai would be easier). the idea is to create a file that will seem like a film strip, so long and skinny is what you are after. use the width of the comp setting you will be using as the height for this file (for ntsc sd, 720px)
use a hand writing type font and type out some words along the strip. add any other symbols or markings that you want.
bring that into ae and drag it to a comp. rotate it 90 degrees so it is running vertically, then ‘p’ and paste this into the position expression field:
y = thisComp.height * (time / thisComp.frameDuration);
value + [0,y]this will force the strip to move vertically a full frame hieght every frame.

Actully I just want to make the old film markers and loop it and put text on top of it like the sample in the link. Like a loop background to use for whatever.

you’re talking about the partial character and marker symbols that kind of flash over the video and text on the screen…?
that’s what i was describing… those characters and symbols were often hand written with a sharpy directly on the film strip. they were usually used to label the film so it could be read on the edge of the reel. other markers may have been written or added to aid in syncing the audio and such. they weren’t actually meant to be readble/seen through the projector, so they come out as fragments in the frame.
i was describing a way to try and create them to work in video. once you have several of these pieces, and create comp with them all, you just need to take that comp into another, enable time remapping and type: loopOut() in the expression field. this will loop it for as long as your comp is.

i dont think he is trying to create the actual effect but he just wants a easy way to make it .. the easy way would be to download video co pilot old film . tutorial . in the downlaod comes a pre matted 8 mm old film video that you could throw over your video and get the exact effect your asking for .. now that is the cop out way .. but i think thats what you were asking for
