Film Look

Hi all. Does anyone know of a plug-in or a way to put a 24p film look to videos similar to that of Magic Bullet for Sony Vegas in post production?

There is an Old Film filter in MSPro 7 and 8, but it convertts the footage to mono then adds the streaks, specks, jitter, light variance etc. you'd expect from footage shot by an old film camera.

OTOH if you're burning a DVD you could just export the footage at 24 fps progressive (frame mode) then burn the DVD using that footage, setting the DVD software to not transcode DVD compliant footage.

Most modern DVD players support "progressive scan" and will upsample this back to standard NTSC frame rates, but it'll look much more like film footage.

since i'm only seeing the option to export the footage at 24fps by turing my project into a .avi... could I just do a frame based render and selec 'auto deinterlace' and create a mpeg video file? Would the results of this be comparable to the exporting at 24fps .avi?

*.avi would have to be encoded to mpg for burning, so encoding it to frame mode 24 fps mpg in the editor is the best option. Authoring tools, particularly Uleads DVDWS and DVDMF can both be set to not re-encode compliant mpg's .
