Help creating an effect

Postby Gepetto » Mon Jul 10, 2006 8:13 am

This shouldn't be too hard to answer, but I am completely vexed trying to apply an effect here.

I want to make my footage look like an old film: shaky, grayscale, with the film grain and noise and whatever you call those random vertical lines. I use Premiere Pro and have AfterEffects (although I still don't really know how to use AE).

I remembered that WMM had an automatic effect for that [film age(old), film age (older) and film age(oldest)] but all it does is sepia the footage, white out the border and put minuscular, almost unperceptible lines and grains. I want something a little better, because honestly the WMM effects are awful.

P.S.: Please don't tell me that I can do it manually by adding grains and lines on separate layers. It would take decades to animate and wouldn't have the randomness I'm aiming at.

P.P.S.: I know few ways to make the video grayscale, i's the rest that worries me.

Thanks in advance

I'd been looking for an effect like this as well ^^

as I'm a newbie with plugins etc though - where do I save the file and how do I access the effect in vdub?

you save the file in a folder called "plugins" which should be in the virtual dub folder. then To use it in Vdub go to Video>Filters >ADD and it should be in the list

If it's not on the list, click "load" and find it.
