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.

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 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 . .

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.

How can I drag contacts into numbers like the old version?

How can I drag contacts into numbers like the old version?

Copy and paste works. But drag and drop is also back in version 3.2. It works well here. Just drag and drop onto the canvas.Make sure you've upgraded to version 3.2 as earlier versions of Number 3 did not support drag and drop from Contacts.
Note that the column headers are misaligned if you are dragging contacts that do not contain an image. But the information in the body of the table drags in correctly.

Try using Auto Color and adjust the temporal smoothing as needed.

How do we remove our current phone numbers from our old iPhones?

So my girlfriend and I both upgraded our iPhone 5 to the iPhone 6. We backed up both phones and transferred everything to the new phones. I was thinking about selling the phones but I noticed that my current number is still on my old phone and my girlfriends number is still on her old phone. The number is located when
I tried researching this but nothing seems to work. I did the Settings/General/Reset/Erase all settings and content. I have tried doing it through iTunes. Its like the phone is ready to be set up as new, and everything is cleared on the phone except our numbers. We are not signed into iCloud. I even signed on to my iCloud account on my girlfriends old phone but her number still shows. Its very frustrating.
Bottom line, is I am trying to get rid of our current phone numbers that are still on our old iPhones.
EDIT: I just realized that our old iPhones still says Verizon on them. Do we possibly have to deactivate the phones some how? If so, how do we do that?

Fixed the issue by doing:
Switched off Face Time (Setting -> FaceTime-> FaceTime OFF)
Switched off iMessage(Setting -> Messages->iMessage OFF)
Switched on iMessage (The phone started “Verifying”the incorrect phone number, failed and set it to the correct ported number (seeSettings -> Messages -> Receive At -> Phone).
At this point the “My Number” (Settings ->Phone -> My Number) had also updated.
Switched on Face(Same “Verifying” as with iMessage, but tooktwo attempts).
Power Cycled the ‘phone and re-synced to updateiTunes (Summary “Phone Number” field).
Hope this helps!

Transferring Old Films

Hi!
I have a Sony Handycam Hi8 video camera (Product # CCD-TRV128). I want to transfer the films to iMovie to edit them and transfer them to DVD. The camera has an S-Video, as well as an analog input to watch the films on a TV. Is there any way to link the camera to my Macbook? I don't want to spend too much money, I would prefer a cable over an expensive converter.
Thanks for your help!

Hi, I did this with some old cine film from the seventies. If you can transfer the footage from your camera to vhs by connecting the camera to your tv then recording it so you have it on a vhs tape.My camera came supplied with a cable with the yellow/white/red at one end and an audio/video plug at the other end which plugs into the camera input. ( I guess you could by one if your camera didn't come with it).Once you have it on vhs tape, record it onto a blank tape in the camera using the pre mentioned cable, then connect it to your mac book via firewire. Then you can edit and burn in the usual way. Just one thing though, the footage will be imported as one continuous clip so you may need to manually split it once it's in. Worked for me, hope this helps.

Getting phone numbers from my old iPhone to my new one

I just upgraded to an iPhone 5, and can't figure out how to get my stored phone numbers from my very old iPhone 3 to my new phone.

Your contacts should be on your computer. You should be syncing them regularly.
Have you failed to do this?

Settings for old film look

I'm new here and need some help, or I mean lots of help. I am sure these are simple but....
1) I have a Canon XHA1S and Adobe Premiere CS4 and need to know how to get the lines effect in the film to make it look old and scratched?
2) How do I get the old yellowed look from the color correction, right? Or do I need a filter?
3) One last question, How do I get black and white if i wanted?
Thanks and appreciate your time.

Digieffects has been coming out with some sweet, very cheap moduals based on plug-ins they bought from Buena Software and Walker FX.
Camera Mapper is amazing, it makes camera projection a snap (even better than PS's Vanishing point). You could build amazing 3d Matte Paintings and backgrounds with it.
The equally amazing photoreal Falloff Lighting fills a huge gap in AE's light/3d system. Having the option for inverse/square (in plain english: it gives you option to make AE's light actually work like a real light does). A bargain at 50 bucks.

How to achieve an old film look?

Hello guys,
is there any other, better way of achieving the old vintage film look in FCP, beside that useless, unrealistic FILM NOISE FILTER located in OPTION SETTINGS within QUICK TIME CONVERSION EXPORT?
Thank you for any advise.

Best "fixes" for old film

I just had some 35mm film processed and digitized that was app 20 years old. What are the best corrections or fixes to apply first to make them look better? They are washed out, grainy and lack detail.

It's difficult to say without seeing an example. Could you log-in to the forum on the web and post a jpeg?
I would generlly start in the basic panel, perhaps tweaking exposure and then moving the highlights slider left and the shadows slider right - but back off if the effect looks overdone. I would then tackle the extreme ends of the histogram by adjusting the whites and blacks.
Finally I would go to the detail tab for noise reduction.
If you can get one photo looking reasonably good, you could then select all of the others in the film strip and sync the settings. You will probably need to go throught them all individually, but it might give you a good starting point for using other adjustments like curves or selective tools like the graduated filter.

Autogeneration of employee numbers after uploading old employee numbers.

Hi All
I have to migrate employees data including old employee numbers which are in numeric format. Once the employee data is uploaded, the new employee numbers are to be autogenerated.
When the employee generation method is automatic, the P_employee_number parameter has to be NULL. If its NULL I cant upload the old employee numbers.
How to upload the old employee numbers while keeping the number generation as automatic?
Regards
Rahman

Set your Employee Number generation as Manual. After data migration, change it to automatic. This can be done using the concurrent program "Change Person Numbering to Automatic".

How can i export my contacts numbers from my old iphone and import it to my new iphone?

I want change my iphone,but i dont want to lose my numbers and datas!

If Contacts are the only thing you care about, you can turn on iCloud on the old phone following the setup instructions in http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ and insure that you turn on Contacts in the list of items to be synced.
You can verify that the contacts are uploaded to iCloud by then logging in to https://www.icloud.com
On your new phone, when you setup iCloud and turn on Contacts, as you did on the old phone following the instructions above, the contacts will automatically sync to the new phone.
If you want to transfer more than just contacts, the following has instructions on how to backup the old phone and restore to the new one (either using iCloud or iTunes): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109
