Old Film Constructor earns its spot in the toolfarm library by covering the old-film toolkit — grains, burns, dust, frames and transitions — in one 124-animation pack that also reaches beyond Adobe apps as clips with transparent or black backgrounds.
AEJuice Old Film Constructor packages 124 animations of old film effects for After Effects, DaVinci Resolve and Premiere Pro. The set covers dust and scratches, film burns, film grains, film assets, film looks and film transitions, along with film frames in 16×9, 4×3 and vertical 9×16 formats.
The pack ships as After Effects project files, a plugin installer and video files, weighing 251 MB. It runs on Windows 10 or higher and Mac OS X 10.14 or higher, including M1 and M2, and supports After Effects CC 2015 through CC 2023 or higher. It also works in DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut, Nuke, OBS, Pinnacle Studio, Premiere Rush, Sony Vegas, XSplit and other video editors through clips with transparent or black backgrounds. CS6, CC 12 and CC 2014 are supported as After Effects projects without the plugin.
Resolutions run up to 3840×2160, with most elements autoresizable, and frame rates auto-adjust from 24. It includes Smart Controls, Batch Export, Universal Expressions and Pack Manager features such as fast preview, drag-and-drop import and favorites. The interface is available in nine languages.
AEJuice Old Film Constructor is best for editors adding old film effects such as dust, scratches, burns, grains and frames across After Effects, DaVinci Resolve and Premiere Pro projects.
AEJuice Old Film Constructor is completely free to download and use.
AEJuice Old Film Constructor supports Adobe CC 2015 through CC 2023 or higher, so recent After Effects and Premiere Pro releases are covered. It runs on Windows 10 or higher and on Mac OS X 10.14 or higher, including Apple M1 and M2 machines. Older releases — CS6, CC 12 and CC 2014 — are handled differently: they come as After Effects project files without the plugin, provided as is. For the current list of supported versions, check the developer's page before installing.
AEJuice Old Film Constructor works with DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut, Nuke, Open Broadcaster Software, Pinnacle Studio, Premiere Rush, Sony Vegas, XSplit and other video editors. In those apps it comes as video files with transparent or black backgrounds that you drop onto your footage. The drag-and-drop placeholder replacement and film looks, however, are noted as After Effects and Premiere Pro features. So while the film-effect clips travel to almost any editor, some of the project-based workflow stays within Adobe apps.
AEJuice Old Film Constructor comes with After Effects project files, a plugin installer and video files, totalling a 251 MB archive. Inside are 124 animations covering dust and scratches, film burns, film grains, film assets, film looks, film transitions and film frames in 16×9, 4×3 and vertical 9×16 formats. Preview video and music are not included, and the pack uses no third-party plugins or vector elements. Resolutions reach up to 3840×2160 with most elements autoresizable, and frame rates auto-adjust from 24.
AEJuice Old Film Constructor supports CS6, CC 12 and CC 2014, but not in the same way as newer releases. For those versions the effects are provided as After Effects project files without the plugin, offered as is. From CC 2015 through CC 2023 or higher you get the full plugin experience, including drag-and-drop placeholder replacement and Pack Manager tools such as fast preview, drag-and-drop import and favorites. Check the developer's page to confirm which workflow applies to your version.
AEJuice Old Film Constructor is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change, so check the developer's page for the current details before you rely on it for a project. The download itself arrives as a 251 MB archive containing After Effects project files, a plugin installer and video files, and the plugin interface is available in nine languages including English, Japanese, Spanish, Korean, German, Italian, French, Russian and Chinese (Traditional).
