The filter is intended to achieve an "Old cinema " effect. There exists an possibility to get the effect of film ageing: color scale adjustment and a set of artifacts to achieve a better realism and to give a "chronicle" view.

Examples

Let's consider job of the filter on the test sequence "Battle" (Episode from "Terminator-2").

The next example demonstrates the usage of the "Real old cinema" preset. Certainly, you can adjust the magnitude of noise, spots, lines and other types of artifacts regardless of the preset as every film features its own properties.
