WHAT IT IS

From barely there to old reel.

Dust, hair, scratches and flicker overlays — from barely there to old reel.

HOW TO USE · FROM THE README INSIDE THE DOWNLOAD

6 overlays: Dust Light, Dust Heavy, Scratches, Hair & Dust, Old Film Full (with flicker),

Negative White Specks. 4K (3840x2160), 24 fps, 10 s, on 50% gray. License: CC0 — free for any use.

1. Put the clip on the track ABOVE your footage (above your grain, if you use one).

2. Blend mode: OVERLAY (or Hard Light for a stronger look). Gray disappears, the damage stays.

3. Lower opacity to taste. Need it longer? Duplicate it, or flip a copy horizontally for variety.

Pairs well with the DAEDAL Film Grain Pack and the projector loop from the SFX pack.
