hey /gd/, I was just wondering if anyone knew if the CGA graphics / something similar in style was possible to recreate in Premiere / AE. I basically want to make a video look like it's being played off a Commodore 64. I'm interested in any effects similar to this, basically the closest I can get. Thoughts? Anything helps. thanks.

you can convert images to 'commodore 64' easily with aseprite (see pic attached)
but for video i'm not that sure, maybe rendering it with a slow resolution (something like 300x400) and then scaling it to 1k or more and playing the curves/levels etc.

yeah you can do something similar in photoshop with some tweaking, this is going to be for a music video though so it that won't work unfortunately. Closest i've gotten so far is using the mosaic tool and setting it to 100x100, then messing with the colors, but it just isn't the same.

tl;dr
scale down to 320x200 with PAR of 0.75, then scale down to 160x200 distorting, then reduce to 16 colors, then scale up to 320x200 again
for added authenticity make sure that each 4x8 block only uses 4 colors; this will mean redrawing borders

also, i shouldn't have to say this but your 100x100 attempt makes me afraid, nearest neighbor scaling only

ask this guy
best way
export the clip as a series of jpegs, run through http://ffd2.com/fridge/jpeg/ in an emulator , screencap and reassemble (and probably apply an ntsc filter)

i will check this out, thank you. As for the 100x100 thing, I was just saying it's the best i had got so far. It doesn't have to replicate the C64, just looking for a unique style similar. so don't be afraid, lol.

that sounds incredibly time consuming but if it comes to that, i suppose it will have to do.

In adobe premiere the posterize effect will do this.

it totally does, now that is what i'm looking for thank you!
I used this, changed the colors around in the correction tool, and turned the framerate down and gave it like a 500x500 mosaic filter and it looks awesome. Thank you
