How do you make a movie (in Windows Movie Maker) look like it was shot with a Super 8 camera?

Question

I'm putting together a little movie in Windows Movie Maker with my Sony Handycam. How can I make my movie look like it was shot with a Super 8 camera?

Answer 1

Have a super high quality camera, and save it as a super high quality format, thought it will take some space on your CPU.



Here is something from wikki:

Although it is possible to import digital video from cameras through the USB interface, most older cameras only support USB version 1 and the results tend to be poor — "sub VHS" — quality. Newer cameras using USB 2.0 give much better results. A FireWire interface camera will allow recording and playback of images identical in quality to the original recordings if the video is imported and subsequently saved as DV AVI files, although this consumes disk space at about 1 gigabyte every five minutes (12GB/Hr). Alternatively, most DV cameras allow the final AVI file to be recorded back onto the camera tape for high quality playback. Some standalone DVD recorders will also directly accept DV inputs from video cameras and computers.

Answer 2

find out the frame rates you are dealing with,



add x amount of blank frames (black) per second so it appears to have the same speed as 8mm - WMM might be to basic to do it, try avid or avid pro
