Phone camera playback..
Guys. 😉
I’m trying to create a phone camera playback, not the actual filming.
The problem is that tomorrow I’ll have nothing more than 2 hours to make it work, time’s not my friend.Do you have any idea about how to realize something convincing or, at least, not weird? My objective is to create a simple but working “completition gauge” of the video, like there are in any playback program or tool.

Not really clear what you’re after- is it the video itself you need to affect and make it look like it’s been shot on a phone cam, or do you need to create a user interface that animates as the video plays?

Oups, sorry. Well, the right answer is “Both”.
My real urgence though is about the user interface.

To alter the footage you can use Remove Grain or Neat Video to make it look softer, crush the Levels and saturate the color a bit.
The interface- search on google for screen shots- you basically need a semitransparent rectangle at the bottom that has a play/pause button, a progress bar that animates as the video runs and a counter- easily created with AE native plugins to show the exact timecode. At the top you can have another rectangle, not as tall as the bottom, that shows the name of the file.
Hope these help- for more specific issues ask more specific questions.

Yeah, thanks for the suggestions. 😉 The main problem is indeed the extremely limited time I have to do it. I’ll also try to mask a solid to create an animation effect like the Macs progress bars.. Maybe an offset effect will work.

Your steps are a piece of cake. 😉 Thanks a lot, but indeed that’s not exactly what I want to do, it’s.. Far too simple. The director asked me to do something really “appleish”, so.. A White bar that fills inside a stroked “whiter” bar.. Using track matte (correct me if I’m wrong!) would make impossible to have a “border” around my progression bar. So I’ll try to make it more manually but I’d really like to hear your opinion about this. I do know I have a lot to learn..

I made this, for now.. Surely in a more complicated way you or anyone else would have suggested, though. :s
