Since you’re going to use the FLV format eventually, you could try exporting to that. As far as I can tell from the Wikipedia article on FLV, it supports lower colour depths, but I haven’t checked if it supports one bit.

You’ll probably need to be aware difference between one bit per channel (3 bits in total, giving 8 possible colours) and one bit (monochrome).

If you just want the one-bit effect and it’s not important to save space by exporting using a 1-bit codec (if there is such a codec), just use the Threshold effect. That will give a very simple one-bit image. To add dithering so it looks more realistic, put a Noise effect before Threshold.

I started to write a long post about the specifics about the C64 graphics hardware and my ideas about how to try to simulate the effect, but then thought that it’d be faster to just try it out.

I posted the results in my blog here.

My test is just still images, but the same thing can be done on a film strip image that you export from After Effects. I don’t think you can do it in just AE (in a convenient way). I’d love to try it on video material.
