Looks great. Very excited that I won’t have to keep bashing the space bar anymore to try stopping a preview. 😉

Make two layers of your video, scale up the bottom one to fill your screen and add a blur to it. Done.

Does the frame rate of your timeline match the frame rate of your exported video?

Connect your camera to your computer via Firewire and capture the video via Premiere. It will capture the full resolution of your tape, which I would guess is 640×480 unless you recorded to HD MiniDV. Unfortunately, scaling up the video to 1080 will look pretty bad no matter what. You have a limited amount of information to work with and computers can’t really fill in all the missing detail.

What effects did you apply to your clip in AE?

I’d go the shape layer route. Draw a line with the pen tool, add trim paths, and you’re done! Ok, maybe not quite; you can spice it up of course, but that’s the basic idea.

In the future, use Toggle Transparency Grid button (the little checkerboard looking thing) underneath your composition to see what your which parts of your composition are transparent if exported with an alpha channel.

Do you mean the horizontal glitch effect, or the line looping around the text?
If you’re going for the glitch effect, there are several out there. Just look up Bad TV effect for After Effects. My favorite is Twitch.
If you want to make the glowing line that loops around, you can use Trapcode Particular.

For future reference, this is usually caused by having Bezier (or non-linear) keyframes. If you right-click on your keyframes, you can change the interpolation to Linear.

Most video games now can be played a 60fps, so you should record your screen at that frame rate, put it in a 24fps or 30fps timeline, and do some time-remapping to achieve the effect.
