Adriana,
When you say ‘material’, what do you mean? Did your producer render a video file from After Effects, which you have imported into your editing software?
If you want to change anything in the After Effects composition, you will need to have access to the After Effects project (example.aep). And, of course, to a copy of the After Effects programme.

Change Paint Style property of the Write-on effect to On Transparent?
If that fails, will the multiply blending mode work?

You might find this tutorial useful: https://videocopilot.net/tutorials/the_healer/
This method won’t work miracles, so if you need to show your actor at various angles etc, you’ll probably save time by reshooting.

Try adding the Hue/Saturation effect. Check the Colorize box, then tweak the Hue, Saturation and Lightness values.
You might also want to add a glow with a really high glow radius.
For other aspects of this look (scan lines, white bar), see Aharon’s tutorial here: https://podcasts.creativecow.net/after-effects-tutorials-podcast/creating-the-old-tv-signal

Hi Simon,
Sounds like you could use Maltaannon’s tutorial on how to build a skybox.

Hi Raine,
One way to check the source of your audio problem could be to render the audio out in Premiere, then import it into AE. Add it to your comp and turn off the audio switch for the video. Then render and see if the audio is out.
Perhaps AE is interpreting the footage incorrectly, so your frame rate is out? Or if your audio is compressed (though I imagine it isn’t), AE could be handling it poorly.

Hi Max,
There’s probably a ‘proper’ way to do this, but I would just change the file extensions from VOB to MPG.

The glow effect can make very light parts of an image ‘blow out’ (get so light they’re just a patch of white).
You need to turn the glow down. You can do this by making the intensity lower, or the threshold higher.

Hi James,
Unfortunately, the light is on the guy, so you can’t really mask the light and keep the guy.
One possibility is to duplicate the man layer, mask around the bits that need to be darker, then reduce the lightness using your preferred colour correction tool. Animate the effect so that it comes on and off in time with the bus.
A better option would be to scrub through the traffic footage and use a bit with no bus, but I suppose you’d have already thought of that if it was an option.
