Obviously you can custom design the Slate and the Countdown.

I think the easiest way is to pick up a 90’s model on ebay (Hi8 or even an older DV) and shoot the footage with that.
However there are a few things you can do in post.
Use Levels to crush the blacks and whites so you’ll loose detail in the dark areas and blow out the lighter areas.
Saturate the colors for outdoor sunny shots, de-saturate them for low light shots.
Add grain.
Size down the footage, precomp and size up again without having the “preserve resolution” option checked to give a lower resolution feel.
If you don’t have a shaky camera, add camera shake.
Use Dust and Scratches to add white spots here and there simulating dropouts.
Play with the overall color balance when the camera moves between light sources (indoor and outdoor lighting- if it passes in front of a window for example) to simulate a slow auto white balance.
I suppose that there are many other things you can do, but this should give you a start.Tudor “Ted” Jelescu

You need to give us more information- what is the exact frame rate your final product should have?
Is the video 30 or 29.97fps?
Are the graphics at 60 or 59.94 fps?
It is hard to point out the problem and give advice without the exact details.

First I think you mean 29.97 fps, as there is no 29fps standard.
You should convert the graphics to the same frame rate as your video- 29.97- Interpret the footage to 29.97 fps (this will double the length of the clip) then enable Time Remap and create 2 keyframes (one at the beginning of your clip and one at the end). Bring the last keyframe to the middle of your conformed clip to speed up to real time.

Try saving the PSD as several files- each one containing only one set of text layers. Import them separately and see if AE still acts up.

How big are the layers/PSD file?
Is the resolution of the PSD 72 dpi or more?
What resolution is the project n AE?
Do you use any Layer Styles?Tudor “Ted” Jelescu

To a certain extent you can use Write On effect in AE to simulate that.

If you do not have the budget for Optical Flares or Knoll Light Factory you can always find a stock image of a flare, cut it in PSD, import layer in AE, center the Anchor point to the center of the flare, animate rotation and size, use the Screen or Add transfer mode for the layer and you’ll get a decent looking effect. For a better result you can also use CC Light Rays – comes free with AE. Just apply it to the flare layer and animate.

FreeForm Pro can be used to simulate water. There’s also a preset pack for it- the Aqua Pack that does just that.
