Pluggins?
My memory is fairly hazy on this, but when i was 16, i remember using this filter in 6.5 that gave me the old film look, but that might have been a dream because i don’t have any proof that i used it before (no longer own that program) and now since i have pp1.5, i can’t for the life of me find that effect? Did adobe ever support that? are their pluggins for for premiere pro 1.5? I’ve been out of the loop for about two years now since i’m attending this boarding/prison school, and internet is hard to come across to research.
okay, my reason for this post. Are plug ins free? what are some of the names of the plugs in used for premeire pro 1.5. I would like to have more options when i’m editing. Thank you

There are lots of plug-ins out there, some of them free, most of them not.
Premiere technically never had an old film look filter. However, what it did have is access to the QuickTime filters. (Premiere Pro lacks this capability.) QuickTime has an old film look built in, which you could apply in Premiere 6.5.
There is a way to use the QT old film look in Premiere Pro, if you still have Premiere 6.5 or if you’ve purchased QuickTime Pro.
1. Create a black matte and put it in the timeline.
2. Make the length of the matte either A) as long as you’ll need it, or B) 30-60 seconds, or some other arbitrary value which you’ll loop as necessary. Beweare that option A gives you a much bigger file.
3. Apply the Transform effect and lower the opacity of the matte to zero. We basically just need a timeline that has nothing in it.
4. Apply the QuickTime Effect and turn on the Special Effects > Film Noise filter. Tweak settings as desired.
5. Export the timeline as an AVI or QT file using a codec that supports alpha channels, such as QT Animation or no compression (huge files!). Set the colors to Millions+ to actually get the transparency.
6. Place the file into Premiere Pro and place it on a track above all of your other clips.Done. If you have QT Pro, but not Premiere 6.5, follow the instructions above to create the matte and export it as a transparent QT file. Then take it into QT Pro, choose File > Export, and in the options apply the Filter. Make sure your export options remain for Millions+ colors and a codec that supports alpha channel.
Note that this film effect only applies scratches and dust, really. You’ll probably also want to apply some sort of color filtration (sepia toning or over-saturation and color tinting) and maybe some noise to simulate film grain.

There are some free plugins around. I would reccomend that you take a look at Steven Gotz’s site: https://www.stevengotz.com
