as a new user of graemes film effect filters, i have been experimenting rather aggressively. of all the things i LOVE about them there is one thing i havent been happy with. thats the distressing stuff like scratches, dirt grain, flicker, etc...
i'll begin by saying that im not really a big fan of the "fake distressing" thing in the first place as it normally just ends up looking cheesey, but i had client just today ask for it specifically. so...
i found that within a single instance of the g film plus 2.5.1 filter, if you added the 24p frame rate, your footage would have the right look, BUT the distressing effects still looked like 60i, which made the effect feel very "dissjointed"
so, i tried adding the filter twice. the FIRST instance does nothing but adds the grain, scratches, dust and flicker, then the SECOND instance adds the 24p (and nothing else) to the previous effects.
BAM! problem solved, everything looks just as it should.
graeme - this is the single best value in the history of FCP filters. it would be a steal even at twice the price!
