Creating appearance of old film?

Is there a free plugin out there for creating the look of old film?
Thanks.

There is this thing called Google. And if you type in search terms it produces all sorts of wonderful links.
For example, when I typed in old film look , there were hundreds of useful sites and articles found.
And, if I use the search function in the FCP forum, I can even find all the threads on this topic that dozens of other posters have already asked.
Searching is an amazing resource.

  • Mixing Frame Rates and Creating Old Film Look?

    Hello, I'm working with AVCHD footage which is 59.94 fps and have made my sequence settings at this frame rate. I've dragged in a few clips 23.98fps, 24fps, 25fps and 29.97fps, I'm attempting to give it a old film look so was going to render out at 14 fps as this is what 8mm is filmed at, I've never worked with mixed rates so any advice as to whether this is going to work? Should I have my sequence setting at my highest frame rate and the majority of the video is 59.94fps? would it work exporting at 14 or 16 fps?  

    I've never worked with mixed frame rates, but for the old film look, I like the Posterize Time effect set to 18 (one of the two standards for Super 8 that my camera had) and use Magic Bullet Misfire.

  • Import old film photos as tif, capture date set to 12/31/03 (1903)

    Lightroom 5.5 on Mac Mountain Lion, 8gb memory, files on external usb 2.0 hard drive.
    Imported old film images as tifs.  Looking in metadata the capture date on all images shows as 12/31/1903 (12/31/03?).  Where did this come from as there is no capture date in the original film tif image.  Is there a setting someplace I missed?  Is this a bug?
    TIA for assistance/answer provided.

    The date created metadata within the document is hosed, I've seen this with files in the past, not sure what causes it. Why that old date, who knows but it's a common issue:

    You'll have to use LR's Edit Capture Time command to fix it.

  • How to create a western-like film in iMovie?

    Just like above - I am trying to find a awy to edit a film I shot to make it look like an old, western-like clip. How can I do this?
    Thanks,

    in case, you meant just an 'old film'-effect (scratches, jittery pic), this effect is not avail in iMovie11
    the easiest way to give a movie an 'old' touch: make it black/white
    but ...
    Western created their own way of shooting (pun pah!) movies, and editing:
    in High Noon, you'll notice a 'new' way of combining p.o.v. + scenery shot:
    that shot along the hip; in movie lingo, this perspective is since called 'American' ....
    Same later in 'Once Upon A Time In The West' .....
    Newer optics technology allowed incredible depth of field: when Bronson enters the frame, he should be out of focus. The so called 'Spaghetti Western' created those crazy 'jump cuts', from total to very-close ...
    I will never forgot Bronson's eyes, saw the film in a REAL huge cinema, his eyes alone were tall like a man!
    It's not only 'effects', but the way of shooting and editing.
    watch the many 'duels' of western classics at YouTube and learn from the Masters ...

  • How do I import an iPhoto Library  (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.

    How do I import an iPhoto Library  (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.

    So what exactly did you copy over? If it's a 12 gig iPhoto Library then it sounds like the files are there. Perhaps the copy went wrong along the way.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • How can I edit material from 1 or more dvds that I created from my own filmed material in iMovie but which I no longer have in iMovie

    How can I edit material from 1 or more dvds that I created from my own filmed material in iMovie but which I no longer have in iMovie

    You need to 'reverse engineer' them :
    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • Using Still images to create a stop motion film in imovie

    Hi all, I'm trying to create a stop motion film in imovie using photo's I've taken with my camera, I've managed to put it all into the sequence I want, and even put background music on, but for some reason I can't stop imovie, panning in and out on individual photo's/clips of my film, so whereas when i flick through the photo's on my camera, it creates a pretty good stop motion film, but on movie it looks as though I've held everything by hand not using a tripod, making it jaunty and not playing well.
    Does anyone know how to make it stop doing this? My friend hasn't been able to stop it from doing it either!
    Thanks

    but for some reason I can't stop imovie, panning in and out on individual photo's/clips of my film, so whereas when i flick through the photo's on my camera, it creates a pretty good stop motion film, but on movie it looks as though I've held everything by hand not using a tripod, making it jaunty and not playing well.
    iMovie '08 installs with the Ken Burns Effects preference selected. When you add a photo, it is automatically added by turning it into a "still frame" sequence of frames at the default length with the KBE applied. To get rid of it make sure your "Project" aspect ratio matches the aspect of your photos. Then select the photo sequence in the "Project" window, select the "Crop" tool, and choose the "Fit" option in the preview window. This will get rid of the KBE. Now all you have to do is select any single frame in your "Project" sequence (or multiple frames if you want to "slow" down the final motion sequence in your project), split the sequence, and then discard the unwanted frames. (You could also use Command-C to temporally "store" your selected frame(s) to memory, discard the entire sequence and then use Command-V to paste the frame(s) in memory back into the project window at the proper location in your "timeline.")

  • Creat SC from Old Purchase Orders and Templates - Price not copied

    Hi Experts,
    When Creating SC usinfg  Old Purchase Orders and Templates interface ,
    All details are copied from Old SC to the New one , except the unit price of the item (It is created with price O )
    Please advise where we can set to copy the price also.
    Best Regards,

    Dear Moshe,
    Thank you for contacting SAP Active Global Support.
    I have logged on to the system and have checked the behaviour with the
    SC: 1000007814. The item in this SC is an catalog item, that means it
    has an catalog price too, which is 0 in this case.
    If you are using the copy function, the system validate the item, and
    set the original values (in this case the price) back to the standard.
    This is the standard behaviour of the system.
    Please use the catalog with price, as designed scenario.

  • How many frames should I cut out each second to get a old film look?

    Hi,
    What is the general rule of thumb (if their is one) of how many frames should be cut every second to achieve a choppy old film look? Or maybe it's not every second? What do you guys do?

    you will get a more realistic look if you chop out frames manually
    dump the playhead arbitrarily on the time line insert a cut nudge the playhead either i or 2 frames on and cut again discard the frames and either leave the black or butt the clips up for a "skip".
    this really doesn't take long to do and is better than a predetermined sequence of chops made by a filter.
    CGM do a free filter for aged film to add the hairs, navel lint, boogers etc . .

  • Flash C5 pro used to create feature length animated films

    First, I have Adobe Production Suite CS5 on it's way and have been loooking for information on using several of the programs like Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects and Premiere.
    How is Flash C5 pro used to create feature length animated films?
    *I have been searching for days for information about using Flash in the creation of feature legenth animated films and all the videos on youtube I could find where about web related usage and so where the other I viewed that googl turned up. I did turn up one movie that Flash was used in a feature animated movie for a classical 2d animation style. The name of the movie is Romeo & Juliet, Sealed With A Kiss by Phil Nibbelink. through my searching so far one item turns up but no referance on how to set up Flash otherwise if not using them and that is - DO NOT USE ACTIONS. Ok, do not use actions and no referance on how to set up Flash to use it's tools in the creation of 2d feature animated film. I know it can be done as Phil Nibbleink's Romeo & Juliet, Sealed With A Kiss illustrates that it can.
    NOTE: If you have information (links, etc) on tutorials for using Flash in feature animated film making I would appricate links to them (I would prefer video tutorials). If you know if some of the companies that create taining videoes for Flash have these type of of training videoes please post who they are and the name of the course. I hace went through some of the sites that create training videoes for Flash and I could not find any they seemed to be for web usage and used actions.
    ANOTHER NOTE: If you know of any fourms that are for using Flash in feature film making please post them.
    *During my searching for using Flash in feature animtion film making I read a lot of toon boom vs flash items (and I am not starting a toon boom vs flash post here) one thing that seems to  stand out for toon boom is the camera fly throughs. Not having used Flash CS5 yet can this be done in Flash CS5 or is this where After Effects or Premiere is used to get that type of effect.
    *Sense Flash is a vector progam and more than likely the backgrounds and some fore grounds would be made in photoshop (raster) would Flash be used to create the characters and import (if they can be imported) into After Effects or Premiere to be able to use the raster backgroud (looking for a way to use the raster background non-destruticely) and should the the raster from photoshop be brought into After Effects or Premiere as an object layer?  Having look at Illustrator's new bristle brush (which create in vectors) it looks like it might be able to get a very painterly background any thoughts on this. Digressing some from Flash.
    TIA

    I found this article

    here's the link

    But it does not say what the settings are to be (again is there a template or something that sets Flash cs5)

  • Intro numbers to an old film or TV

    I'm looking for some reference images or info that deals with old school film.
    What are those numbers called that you sometimes see at the beginning of an old movie. Where the numbers tic down 3...2...1 and then a beep or something and the movie starts.
    It's for a design project I'm working on.
    Thanks

    It's called Leader or Academy Leader and it can be found in a number of places. Final Cut itself comes with an Academy leader project in the Extras folder of the install disk. If you are looking something that looks more old fashioned, you can find old film leader from any number of Film footage/stock art companies.

  • I created a spreadsheet on my mac with numbers, and now it tells me  I have to buy a newer version of numbers to access the spreadsheet I created with the old program.  if I wanted problems like that I would go back to using windows

    Hi sar23,
    You may have inadvertently created or edited the document in the new Numbers 3.0 (which is free; you don't have to buy it) and are now trying to open it with the old Numbers 2.3.
    Both versions can be on your Mac at the same time, and can run at the same time.  The icons are similar so it's easy to confuse them (old on top here, new on bottom).
    The new Numbers 3.0 is in your Applications folder. The old Numbers 2.3 should be in a subfolder in the Applications folder named iWork '09 or similar.
    If you accidently edited an old document in the new version and want to take to take it back to the old version, you can export it:

    hi, i changed my provider in the icloudwindow appears the old apple id. with the new apple id, which is working, will not accept. what i have to do?

    Actually you always use ethernet..
    MBA does not come with ethernet port.. but apple sells both a cheap usb to ethernet and a much more expensive and much faster thunderbolt to ethernet adapter. With ethernet to eliminite this silly situation of setting up wireless over wireless, so if you make any change you instantly drops you off the network. Like cartoons of people sawing off the branch they are sitting on.
    But you can reset.. no reset will do anything at all to the material on the hard disk. You must deliberately erase it.
    Read the info because you may only need to do a soft reset. That is hold the reset for 1sec (2-3sec is fine)  as long as you don't hold it for a full reset.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728
    Even a full factory reset will not harm your files in any way, (or any further!!)
    I am "concerned" that you have no backup to vital files on your TC. That is not wise. TC are no more immune to failure than any other hard disk.. (actually latest ones use the cheapest green WD drives money can buy) and keeping files in only one location is a receipe for disaster. An external drive is much more accessible.. cheaper and tend to be more reliable. There are too many things to break in the TC.. it is designed as a backup target for TM. Not a file store.
