Hello,
I have adobe CS5.5 and i downloaded the project files howevere when i tried to import the 8mm file to Adobe After Effects CS5.5 it says that the file is corrupted, i uninstalled and reinstalled my program and then downloaded the file again and it said the exact same thing. Tell me how i can fix this.

You didn't exatly say where you got the film clip from, without this information, this tutorial isn't exactly essential to others.

Emy, I want to thank you for your assistance, it is greatly appreciated. I did figure what I needed to figure out and how to get the file to work.

@Flashbeat: you have to install Quicktime to use .MOV videos in AE. And yes, even if you have installed codec packs like K-lite.

Thank you so much Andrew Kremer! I believe you tutorials is my saver! There is this friend of mine who have decided to leave me doing a project (video) all on my own without giving me any resources, and i believe your tutorials definitely can show him that i am not so pathetic like what he thought! Thank you so much although i have yet to finish that video, but i believ i can finish it successfully! Not only that, your Tutorials are amazingly easy to understand! Thanks again!! :)

Where did you find the old film texture? I know I can find it by downloading this project, but just so I could have more than one.

You get the 8mm file by clicking the "Download Project" button right next to the "watch" button.

Great way of doing things, and looks better than most of the plug-in's I have seen.

I was wondering though, does anyone know where to get a 1080p clip like this. I really need to do something like this on a project I'm working on, but need a decent resolution to work with. Thanks.

Just a thought on this tutorial: The video flow is too perfect. With old cameras the speed varied, and frame skipping wasn't seldom.

Compliments on your tutorials

Andrew i have a question about some strange thing in my notebook (newbie question pearhaps...)

Take a look in this image capture of first frame on original downloaded MOV from this page please.

http://villasweb.com/testes/file_original.jpg

Can you see something like interlced desincronization or what ?? Is it normal?
...or Someone can explain please?

All my DV videos apears like that.

Thanks in advance

To loop the 8mm right click the file in project, go to interpret footage => Main

at the bottom it says loop X times.
set that to 100 to get 8 minutes.

or just take your run time and divide by 8 for the number of loops.
Drew Roper
01/27/2009
Tremendous free tutorial! Thanks for the tips!

You know your Onions! Just a quick one, as the other's have stated, how do you make the 8 sec. old film look go on for longer?


Many Thanks
