Make your video dusty and scratchy and you don't even have to own a projector or film camera. Just Adobe After Effects! I'm using adobe CC but you can do this in most versions. we'll make dust, scratches, a square frame, and a little colour correcting. It'll be fun and your friends who post endless photos of their pets and food will think it's very twee or fetch or whatever people say these days.

im still using this tutorial from like 9 years ago now what an amazing channel this was

@ECAbrams 11 лет назад

well thank you kindly sir. Your patronage is much appreciated. And enjoy wedding season! I'm told it's one of the most lucrative for small video production businesses.

@BAMAJiPS 11 лет назад

I have my hand in about 5 different businesses (I dont like working for the man) my graphic design skills (or lack there of) have been mostly bartered for compensation in the products my friends sell rather than cash. I have no illusions of granduer, especially since anything I do is usually just tracing off step by step tutorials such as yours - but its cool to get the oohs and ahhs from friends. Appreciate your work. Thanks for making me look like that guy

@insertcoin8278 5 лет назад

Thanks dude! That was just what I was looking for and just the way I wanted it to be explained. Much appreciation!

@jillybr 9 лет назад

You, sir, are an angel. I'm a beginner. I just watched your video and it was really helpful but it was so hard I want to punch a wall. Or flip a table.

@ECAbrams 9 лет назад

Jill Raga I'm not sure if angels make people want to flip tables. Or maybe this is an old testament kind of angel here to challenge your faith. Wasn't lucifer and angel once now that I think about it?

@jillybr 9 лет назад

ECAbrams I'd like to thank you for sharing what you know especially since this is the kind of effect that I want for an AVP. Your video is fantastic and really helpful, sir. I'm just really having a hard time following advanced stuff. Haha

@visualfolk9519 7 лет назад

ECAbrams wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that was a class apart..I mean, the way you replied to that comment....dope!!! but she doesn't deserve it...

@Karataron 11 лет назад

The best tutorial which explains that old-film-stuff

@ECAbrams 11 лет назад

I prefer the way only because I can type it faster and it does the same thing. As for your question about the frames just use posterize time as an expression or effect. Enjoy.

@Mediac69 9 лет назад

An awesome tutorial Mr. Abrams... I am pretty much a novice but managed to complete everything you did and did a little more wiggling around myself... Thanks very much..! If I can I will post my vid here...

@MsHellokitty666 3 года назад

@splitscreenprod 11 лет назад

Thanks I just ended up doing basically the same thing but in audition. It really adds to the picture.

@sepeterson86 11 лет назад

Because this is amazing, I donated $5. I'll be sure to use this for a highlight video I'm cutting from some wedding footage I shot last night.

Younger couples (the instagram generation) will love this effect for their videos. Apparently, it's cool to look like you were married on the same day as your parents. TIME WARP!

Your Tutorials are always Great ECAbrams::::: Thumbs Ups for You ||

@ECAbrams 11 лет назад

I would say I eke out a living. Not many freelancers get to where I'm at certainly, and many are barristas first and designers second. But I suppose i could go over some of my client winning strategies in a vlog down the road. One of the big reasons I'm successful though is that's I have made terrible sacrifices in other areas of my life to accomplish my business goals.

@kickthenads1 8 лет назад

You are an amazing man, thank you so much :)

@soyho 9 лет назад

Great tutorial as usual! Although a little bit confused by those expressions, especially the array ones. Will definitely replay a couple of times. I'm curious about the sfx of the intro video. I mean, how to make that electronic, old-school sound? Also, are those vertical lines going to stick at a certain width? What if I want those to wiggle a bit on the left, and then shift to the right and just continue wiggling? Amazing tutorials, many thanks. Soy

@ECAbrams 9 лет назад

The voice in the intro was altered in audition and I just used am EQ preset to make it sound like "old time radio". As to the vertical lines I suppose if you wanted to put expressions on width or any other property you could. If you want to build in repeating patters of things look at the "loopOut" expression. But you'll likely need keyframes if you want put in events of some kind to the flow.

@soyho 9 лет назад

Awesome! Will try!!

@Tom_Swiss 10 лет назад

thanks man. good tip.

@ECAbrams 11 лет назад

I think I just set the text to be Add or some other blending mode. Not much to it I'm afraid.

@therealmarcadc7680 9 лет назад

@ECAbrams 11 лет назад

sounds like golden age syndrome. But I do enjoy many aspects of the cultural shift to embrace the novelty of the historical.

@SamTochelliDzn 11 лет назад

He shows it off at about 0:35 The video is an effects breakdown so you should see it pop up with text underneath for each effect

@alessanderpitu9316 10 лет назад

ok, show de bola...i from brazil!! thanks

@ECAbrams 11 лет назад

just a couple eq and compressions presets in premier. Nothing to it really.

@sepeterson86 11 лет назад

How did you tweak the audio to sound like it was really old like that. It reminds me of those old school informational videos featuring Timmy! It was always Timmy!

@ECAbrams 11 лет назад

When does the thing happen in that video?

@GM-pp6yq 7 лет назад

Hey there, so I applied all these changes and everything looks great-- except the orange background colour that I applied to my original composition (it has no video footage) has been replaced with white (I made the dust and scratches black). Could you let me know how to get the background colour back? Great tutorial!

@HAlXHAM 11 лет назад

Hello, I have a film idea that I need to shot from the actor's POV which have a scene to shot in front of mirror. How can I reflect the actors body in the mirror? help me plz

@teresamahoney 7 лет назад

Great tutorial! As a beginner, I pulled it off! Was wondering how you got the text to have that effect? I tried the "difference" mode and "overlay" but neither seemed to look like yours. Thanks!

@ECAbrams 7 лет назад

I may have used add and changed the opacity. It was some time ago now.

@splitscreenprod 11 лет назад

i understand premiere well enough to not need a full tutorial, and I know you don't want to do a full tutorial on it, so could you just give me the effects and settings you used to get the sound? thanks!

@GrootmanSipho 2 года назад

When I click on random seed it creates a key frame, how do I type an expression? Edit: My bad, I was supposed to hold the "Alt" button while clicking on "Random seed"

@0BowlingPin0 11 лет назад

Hi, would really like to know how to do the opening effect where your face shows through the text but is contrasted from the footage. Thank you so much!

@B0GlES 8 лет назад

What about the sound - like the crackling and popping you often get in old B Movies. How d'you do that?!

@hawaiianaf2308 4 года назад

the tempo of this tutorial was way too fast for me but it was worth it after rewinding 100x per step. take this comment as you please.

@ECAbrams 4 года назад

I like to think the content on the channel has improved since 2013... but no promises.

@crisisbliss2462 11 лет назад

I'm posting this question as I watch the video. I don't know if you answer it later on. But is there any particular reason that you chose to use random()*100 instead of random(0,100). This gives a random number on each frame, how would I change the expression to give a random number every other or change every 5 frames?

@Cobramp4 7 лет назад

My grain (fractal noise) seems to be moving too quickly. Solution?

@SmekzyEdits 11 лет назад

I gotta say, the vignette made the tutorial ;)

@DerrickStratton-dasedesigns 7 лет назад

This tutorial was really great! But I have a question. The dusty stuff is moving way too fast. Is there anyway to make it slow down? I'm using it for a music video. Is making the dust follow along with the audio possible? I'm a noob with After Effects btw lol

@Bobbical 6 лет назад

I know your comment is 7 months old but this may help anyone with the same problem. In the same expression box for the fractal noise, put a semi colon at the end of the random expression and go up a line and use the expression: " posterizeTime(x); " where x would be a number. The lower the number the slower it goes, I found 6 was good for my use!

@antonpochabsky9305 5 лет назад

@@Bobbical Thanks so much! I'm another guy but it helped me too.

@runeofaia4465 7 лет назад

The dust grain doesn't show up on the footage as an alpha. It looks good on the black solid I created it with, but can't see it as dust on my actual footage. Couple years ago for you now, but any help?

@Xx0Mystic0xX 6 лет назад

I wanna just export the grains and scratches with a transparent background so that I can add it to a video. However, there is a white background that I can't get rid of on the effect itself. Does anyone know how to fix this? I tried exporting it as a PNG sequence (RGB+Alpha) yet it still has a white background with no transparency.

@BAMAJiPS 11 лет назад

speaking of helping our careers or hobbies, how about a tutorial on filthy lucre. How did Evan Abrams become the AE industrialist titan, multi-billionaire Canadian dollar extraordinaire he is today?? I'd like a step by step tutorial on how to sell my creations and be able to feed my beer habit. Seriously, how do you pull jobs and actually make coin? Just curious how you rope in clients. I dont have the wallpaper, I just learn from youtube :)

@MarcusStJohn-fi5xn 8 лет назад

Hi ECA, love your tutorial ! one thing i can't do, at 5:20 in your video, you go to the pen tool. As you click it, the fill and stroke buttons appear top of your screen, but not mine.. any ideas ?

@MarcusStJohn-fi5xn 8 лет назад

+Marcus St. John just found what i was doing wrong. i tried clicking in a blank part of the preview window, taking the focus away from the solid. somehow that worked :)

@warmandscratchy 7 лет назад

I had issues with that too but I realized I hadn't made the "Shape Layer" before drawing the first scratch.

@vipulpatil4649 8 лет назад

how can i do offset and sliding control in horizontal way ?

You might use keyframes on position or on the anchor point of that null.

@frugalmodelwerks140 8 лет назад

Evertime I try to add the scratches using the multiply layer mode it goes all haywire and distorts the original footage without leaving black/white specks. Anybody having this same issue? (its adobe 2015 CC btw)

@jacobmistela5033 8 лет назад

+Frugal Model Werks The mode you want to use is screen. Multiply favours darker pixels over lighter ones. Since the scratches are white, screen will favour the lighter pixels (white scratches) over your video.
