It shows the original footage and the edited one.


You can watch the film that I took the footage from here.

Re: Camcorder Effect in VirtualDub

The music is quite annoying. But anyways, nice little film, although it's nothing too special. The camcorder thing looks quite cool. To complete the illusion of a hand-cam, you need the shaky-cam effect, as well. I don't know either how to do that... I know it's possible in AfterEffects, but not everyone owns that. Maybe there's even a plug-in for virtual dub?

Re: Camcorder Effect in VirtualDub

Ok, now here's what I did:
I used photoshop to make a blank image with the camcorder effect. Then, I imported it into VDub with a Logo  filter and cut the opacity down. If you pay attention the finished footage has a whiteish glow.

And to get the shaky cam effect, you can just move your camera (in my case a 9k) a teeny bit. Also, zoom in on the person, THEN focus. And zoom in too much.
