Not sure which version of Premiere you have, but Premiere 6 had an 'old
film' filter hidden in the Quicktime filters options. It's a little
naff, but could be usable with a bit of work.

Yes, using an old film filter is the easiest. But making video look bad, (in
turn old) isn't hard.
You can oversaturate, play with brightness, dull it, anything to give it an
old video look.
Maybe even play with analog out and record a few generations, but filters
for this even add
the old film lines and dirt on lens effects.
Good luck,

You can throw some sepia tone into it, or a greenish monochrome tint.
If it's a 40-'s thru 70's kodacolor look you want, you can simulate the
reds all decaying out by reducing just that channel, to simulate the
fading of the print. Adding some shutter effect will help, as will a
subtle flicker in white peak. If it's supposed to be 20's era, you can
adjust the spepd to simulate that it was shot under-cranked and
projected at the wrong speed. The scratches and dust, a little of that
goes a long way. I would prefer to add obvious splices and jump-cuts.
If you are adding period-sounding music, throwing the same jump-cuts in
the music track, offest in time by about a second, helps sell the
effect. A little gate weave helps too. Amazing, how many "defects" of
film are what we pursue to simulate in video, just to make people think
it's film, because film is "better";-) |
