If you’d like to make your own simple frame, you can do that too. For burns or other effects, you may need to change the blending mode, probably to Screen. Just drop on the overlay above everything else. Today I’m using a pack that I found on The Creative Herd called Super 8mm Overlay Assets. There are some great pre-made assets you can find online for free. Now unfortunately, there is no good way to easily create the iconic Super 8 film mattes and flares that surround actual Super 8 footage. This is really going to depend on the footage, so play around with what looks best. Drag Gaussian Blur onto the layer and set it to between 2 and 10. Super 8 film has a soft look to it, and modern digital cameras are far too sharp and crisp. You may need to adjust the intensity of the grain, but all of the other settings should be fine at their defaults. There are a variety of camera types to choose from, but you’ll have good results no matter which one you prefer to use. Search the Effects & Presets panel for Add Grain, and drag that onto your clip. These might not technically be LUTs inspired by 8mm footage, but they will approximate the vintage look pretty well. If the color grade isn’t quite looking right to you, there are a number of vintage Kodak and Fuji LUTs that come with After Effects. Don’t go too intense here, but find a place that looks good on your footage. Now moving into the Creative tab, we’re going to emulate the blue-green shadows and yellow-range highlights that Super 8 was known for. In the Basic Correction tab, push down highlights quite a bit and slightly lower shadows. Super 8 film had a very flat look, so we’re going to recreate that feel. Search for and add Lumetri Color to your clip.
