Image degrade

Recommended Posts

You can degrade the image “resolution” by using Mosiac Blur, adjust Pixel Freq to taste. Take a picture of a piece of blank paper / scan the paper, or find a texture online. Add it in to the media pool as an external matte (without having any clips selected in the actual pool). This way you can access the texture as a matte to layer in a layer-mixer, and use overlay to add it on top of the live action image. Adjust node opacity to taste. (Other ways of doing this too).

Newspaper print has a halftone raster, Genarts have a plug-in for that. Or find a high res halfpattern online and feed your live action footage through it to mask the video.

Look at the emboss and edge tools in the openFX menu. You can also degrade the image by changing the texture in the grain parameter and also adjusting the values in the grain advanced controls. And you can check out the JPG damage and lens distortion too.
