I know the easy path is just overposing the video and masking the shape of the tv set but come on, if you get the opportunity to use an actual device I don´t think it would be too difficult to send the signal to be played through the vintage tv and the texture you will get be as authenthic as possible, since it will be authentic. I do VFX , my main tool has been AE but now I am reconsidering a bit and trying to do everything analog. It is worth it. There is nothing like the real thing. Go the extra mile friend, you will not regret it.

The tv set probably has a coaxial entry, I think there should be an HDMI – Coaxial device of some kind. Worst case scenario get a VCR.

Hi, I was not able to check out the dropbox file, it seems to not be there anymore. I agree with Walter, you should check Video Copilot Basic Training. But I got the notion that you are only interested on doing this.

Look for the “project” window (usually on the left side of the software). You will find the compositions (the main work areas). Most templates name their comps after what you are supposed to place on them (ie. “your image” “your video” “your text”) I am guessing in this case you must have a comp named “your video”. You need to click File/import browse your video, it will appear on the project window (I suggest placing it on the “assets” folder if the template includes such a folder.)

Open “your video” composition. You will see the timeline and the monitor when you do, and then just drag your own video to the timeline.

There should be also a compostion called “main” or “final” or something like that. You will probably be able to see your video with the title on that compostion and that is the one you will want to render Composition / Add to render queue —–> Once your composition is over there click on it so you choose your codec and format.

Hope this is what you were looking for because I am working a bit blindly here. If not please let me know and I will try to help again.

Best
Isaac

Hey Joel, were you able to solve your problem? if so what did you do?

Hey Dan, could you solve this problem?

Ok, I realized how the frame number works, kind of. I set two keyframes and it did moved, but that`s not what I`m looking for, anybody now how can I make it 4000 fps?
