Always start with an example of the final product. I don't to watch the whole thing when it is not what I want.

@BTinHD Good point. Thanks for the comment.

I recently purchased this package but for Apple Color. Is there a tutorial for that?

[o0curiousturtle0o]

@mikekarnell The compositing possibilities are more limited with Color than with AE! Here's the basic idea:

i) Use one of the Film Wash settings as a great starting point. You can combine these if you are on Color V1.5 or above.

ii) You'll have to create a User Shape to mimic the frame of the Super8 vignette.

iii) Use this shape as a vignette and make it black.

iv) There is a way to do scratches in the ColorFX room. It's detailed on our Creative Color Grading training DVD

I don't find some options you're using in this version. I'm using After Effects CS4 for Mac and, for example, I don't see the option "Expression Opacity" for creating flicker :(
