The change that is apparent when watching silent movies now is because of this difference in the fps. You should remember that when these movies were originally shown, they were projected at the correct speed, so that the acceleration that we now regard as part of the humour of silent films was not intended or used by the directors and actors of the time.</DIV><DIV>So my approach would be to fiddle with the time to change the apparent speed of your footage and apply a black and white or sepia filter.</DIV><DIV>If you want to do it using FCP, I am pretty sure that a Google search would find you a tool for the old film look, that is the scratches. There are filters for both black and white and sepia.</DIV><DIV>Hope this helps,</DIV><DIV>Richard Dalziel-Sharpe</DIV><DIV>Australia</DIV><DIV><BR><DIV><DIV>On 16/11/2006, at 7:18 AM, Vtstream wrote:</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><DIV>Not exactly an FCP solution and I'm sure there is another way to do this but.....</DIV> <DIV>I saw a segment where someone played the footage on a Black and White</DIV> <DIV>TV and then shot the screen with a minidv camera set on 24p.(Panasonic AG dv100) The result looked like an old time movie to me. </DIV> <DIV><BR><B><I>Djwp <<A href="mailto:djwp1@comcast.net">djwp1@comcast.net</A>></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class="replbq" style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">Anyone have any advice on how to use Final Cut Pro to give video <BR>footage that old silent move look?<BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
