although AE isn’t a programmer’s dream, you can still make nice video/graphics clips in it for use in full screen interactive flash animations and menus.

do you mean nice 16mm or like the 8mm hand held grainy family beach stuff? Go to https://forums.creativecow.net/forums_search.php
search keyword 8mm will bring up 10,000 results such as these two.

as for the color, it was like old kodachrome, a lot of brown, some 2 strip color, turqoise and such. There’s an AE preset called bloom that creates haze on bright objects.

I made a quick 1965 ae project you can try and see if it fits your needs. The settings can be adjusted in final output-combine green into magenta. also, blend colors 1.0 gamma in project settings can do alot too.

Here’s the 1965.aep project

Soundbooth has a dynamic link capable ASND fileformat without modifying the original file.

To adjust the timbre of instruments and voices, maintaining realism during pitch shifts, select Preserve Speech.

but Audition has pitch shifting by tones.

there’s a combined forum for both here.

let me re-phrase.

Neither optical flow plugin-which produce nice looking slow motion without jutter-. even touches the audio.

Only timestretch in AE actually affects AE’s sound speed. You then have to pitch correct it with another program with 3 keyframes.

Make sense?

It may be easier just to eyeball it in FCP and layover the rendered nice slow motion timewarp video clip because soundtrack pro will speedchange and pitch correct at the same time.

[Chris Wright]

You have 3 different clips with 3 different styles of movement. Let’s get started…

1st clip is cartoon look with around 24fps, either buy twixtor or
try timeremap for that and use this cartoon look forum thread.

Here’s my timeremap formula.

if you want smooth 24 fps and not jerky 24fps then try this

29.97 interlaced to 23.976 progressive

1.Put 29.97i video in new 59.94 “start” comp so that timewarp can access both fields.
2. add effect->time->timewarp speed at 60.545403%, filtering extreme,vector detail 20
3. make new “output” comp 99 fps and drop “start” comp inside it with timestretch 60.545403%
4. output “output” comp with separate audio layer from original video at 23.976 fps fields off. add motion shutter blur if desired.

tested and works well.

2nd clip might be 24fps posterized to 22fps with heavy roto
———

3rd clip
You can either use posterize time at 1fps then place it as a precomp in another precomp with posterize at 1fps or

n = 60; // number of frames to hold
f = timeToFrames();
framesToTime(Math.floor(f/n)*n);

After you enable time remapping, you apply it to the time remapping property. Alt – click on stopwatch.

Perhaps you’re thinking of channel-remove color matting to remove the premultiplied color channel of the bg halo of the flare then render out an alpha channel separately. This gives you more control over the appearance of areas of partial transparency in the workflow.

[Chris Wright]

No, timewarp and twixtor don’t pitch correct, you will have to separate the audio and pitch correct it manually either with 3 pitch keyframes in Premiere, or use soundbooth that will automatically pitch correct to the speed. All you then have to do, is place the AE twixtor post-rendered clip over the top and they will match perfectly.

[Chris Wright]

Oh, Premiere Pro CS4 just added the pitch shifter. Looks like you’re in luck. FCP can talk to it with Premiere’s new XML import and you can dynamic link out the changes to AE. Go adobe!

[Chris Wright]

I’m 90% sure CTRL+ALT+SHIFT all held down together while you open AE will fix it. Click Yes to preferences delete.

Pitch shifting by tones is available in Adobe Audition, Soundbooth, FCP, protools, soundforge, soundtrack, but yea, I think I know what you are looking for. The no-eyeballing(I mean ear-balling it) that’s “supposed” to be automatic in After Effect’s pixel timeremap. If you only knew how many movies are made with protools and guessing……..
