 Okay, continuing with our series on video editing in Blender using Blender 2.78a and Today we're gonna be looking at doing layer effects and in the end we're gonna create like a an old grainy film type Look which I've done tutorials on in other programs. It's just a look that I like. It's fun to do So let's go in here, and I'm gonna go to video editor, and I'm going to say add Movie I'm gonna choose my one of my movies here and say add the clip and This is the clip right here. So let's start off with some still images So I'm gonna go ahead and say add an image and we're gonna add a vignette. This is a PNG that has a transparent layer on it So it's the black is is drawn on and then the center part is a transparency I'm gonna add that in you can see what it looks like right here. I'm gonna grab the end here and make it the Same length as my clip But you see you don't see even though it's transparent you're not seeing the video below it Well with it's like to make over to the edit strip tab here and the blend mode Which is cross which is we what we used for our cross effects when we use the opacity in the first or second video that I did We can come up here, and you have a few options Overdrop multiply gamma cross alpha under alpha over subtract add and cross and replace well You're probably familiar with a lot of these if you've done any type of video editing or image editing in like GIMP or any other video Or still image editing program, but what we want here is alpha over and so that what that's going to do Is it's going to allow us to use that transparency? from that image And it's great that we have all these options that one thing that there's other Blend effects or blend modes. It's called here. I usually call them layer effects that you could use But one of the most common is screen and I'm very disappointed blender doesn't have that here I'm sure there's another way to do it. I think you might be able to do it in the compositor But I'm really surprised there's not a screen option here That's just an effect that's been around since the beginning of the film industry But anyway, I'm just going off on a little why is there not a screen option here But alpha over if you're you working with a transparency Let's go ahead and add in a another still image and I'm going to choose this image Which is just some grain I'm going to grab that Make it the same length as my video here And for this I think I'm going to use multiply Multiply multiply and screen apply the two that I probably use quite often so now you can see we have you know our video with a Nice vignette and some grain it looks okay. The grain is a still image So it's not really moving neither is the vignette. So let's look at another way of doing this I'm just going to box select my two still images here Or at least try to box select it there we go and I'm going to import a Video clip that I got off YouTube Open go into effects. I'm going to do my thumbnail view here. I have different types of Of film effects here overlays, so I'm just going to choose one of them. I'll start off with this one go ahead drop that in there and It's longer than my video clips so I can trim it down if I want I can see this view clip again It's 119 frames so if I select this one I can come over here to length and say one nine And I'll trim it down or I could drag it with the mouse And again, you can see that our our image is here for our video And that is a video of film grain and we're going to change the blend mode for that to multiply So now we have that film grain over top of it It's it's not a the vignette is very Apparent the scratches and grain in this particular clip. They're definitely there that it's not over overly strong Again, it's just different different videos. You're going to overlay on there. We'll have different effects So there's that so now I can grab my original video here. I can scroll down to Saturation I can set that to zero if I want to make her black and white there So now I have a nice little black and white videos probably the things I would add I would I would you know, usually I add like a grain effect and and I also Might add a slight blur every once in a while or What else do I do? Might make it the the original video flicker But with just a layer effect and dropping down your saturation you have a halfway decent video effect Oh, another thing I probably do would it be a affect the strobe whoops right here Like I said set that to two or three and then and also I tend to like to speed up the videos a little bit When I'm doing these old film videos, but that's that's it right there. I do thank you for watching So now you can you can layer videos as long as you don't need to layer with a screen effect You can layer different images or videos over each other so vignettes and other types of effects Real quick. Let's let's undo the last few effects There we go. We'll delete this layer, and I'll just just for another example this video shorts. I'll Add another movie clip This I'm gonna add one with some color here. Let's see how that looks with some of our options I actually haven't tested this for you out and with these options, but let's just see what multiply looks like So there you go. You got yourself color filter there With multiply you can try like and subtract. I think it's gonna be really strong. Yeah And it's gonna just make that white so there you have like lens flare if you you know Like what's his name that does the Star Trek movies likes lots of lens flares. That's kind of what you got going there But yeah, so play around Get different layers you can layer on there to do different coloring and layering effects I thank you for watching.
