Learn how to recreate the trendy, oh-so-cool look of Mini DV footage in After Effects.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just like the VHS look, another retro look is becoming trendy: Mini DV. More and more creatives are starting to utilize the look and feel of Mini DV footage, often referred to as &#8220;LoFi.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this step-by-step video tutorial, we&#8217;ll show you how to recreate the look of Mini DV footage in After Effects!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CTClL14ynek?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"creating-the-appearance-of-mini-dv-footage\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creating the Appearance of Mini DV Footage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, create a new composition named <strong>Mini DV Comp<\/strong>. Set the composition size to <strong>200 px x 150 px<\/strong>; this will give you a <strong>4:3<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/filmmaking-guide-choosing-aspect-ratio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">aspect ratio<\/a>. Now, add your footage into the composition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll need to scale your footage down to fit. An easy way to do this is by selecting your footage and navigating to <strong>Layer<\/strong>&gt;<strong>Transform<\/strong>&gt;<strong>Fit to Comp Height<\/strong>. This will automatically scale your footage down to the correct size. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this point, you&#8217;ll notice your footage looks extremely pixelated. This is okay, because we&#8217;re going to scale it up in the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"755\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mini-DV-Footage-in-After-Effects-Mini-DV-Comp.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of a pixelated image featuring two people in bear costumes walking down the street\" class=\"wp-image-179077\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mini-DV-Footage-in-After-Effects-Mini-DV-Comp.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mini-DV-Footage-in-After-Effects-Mini-DV-Comp.jpg?resize=300,179 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mini-DV-Footage-in-After-Effects-Mini-DV-Comp.jpg?resize=277,165 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mini-DV-Footage-in-After-Effects-Mini-DV-Comp.jpg?resize=359,214 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mini-DV-Footage-in-After-Effects-Mini-DV-Comp.jpg?resize=543,324 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mini-DV-Footage-in-After-Effects-Mini-DV-Comp.jpg?resize=560,334 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mini-DV-Footage-in-After-Effects-Mini-DV-Comp.jpg?resize=150,89 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Once you scale down your footage, it will look very pixelated.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, create a new composition named <strong>Main Comp<\/strong>. Set the composition size to <strong>1920px<\/strong> <strong>x<\/strong> <strong>1080px<\/strong>. Add the Mini DV Comp into your Main Comp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, we need to scale the Mini DV Comp up to match the size of the Main Comp. Select the Mini DV Comp and, once again, navigate to <strong>Layer<\/strong>&gt;<strong>Transform<\/strong>&gt;<strong>Fit to Comp Height<\/strong>. This will scale the Mini DV Comp up to the correct size. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your footage should now appear to have many of the characteristics of Mini DV footage, which includes lots of <strong>aliasing<\/strong>. This can be seen in the &#8220;<strong>stair-stepping<\/strong>&#8221; artifact that is visible on horizontal lines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll also notice a lot of <strong>flickering<\/strong> on edges, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"755\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mini-DV-Footage-in-After-Effects-Aliasing-on-Mini-DV-Footage.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of a blurry image featuring two people in bear costumes walking down the street\" class=\"wp-image-179078\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mini-DV-Footage-in-After-Effects-Aliasing-on-Mini-DV-Footage.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mini-DV-Footage-in-After-Effects-Aliasing-on-Mini-DV-Footage.jpg?resize=300,179 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mini-DV-Footage-in-After-Effects-Aliasing-on-Mini-DV-Footage.jpg?resize=277,165 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mini-DV-Footage-in-After-Effects-Aliasing-on-Mini-DV-Footage.jpg?resize=359,214 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mini-DV-Footage-in-After-Effects-Aliasing-on-Mini-DV-Footage.jpg?resize=543,324 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mini-DV-Footage-in-After-Effects-Aliasing-on-Mini-DV-Footage.jpg?resize=560,334 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mini-DV-Footage-in-After-Effects-Aliasing-on-Mini-DV-Footage.jpg?resize=150,89 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>One of the characteristics of Mini DV footage is aliasing, which appears as a stair-stepping artifact on straight lines and edges.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"enhancing-the-mini-dv-look\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enhancing the Mini DV Look<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that your footage looks like it was filmed with a Mini DV camera, we can exaggerate the look to appear more &#8220;nostalgic&#8221; and similar to Mini DV footage from the &#8217;90s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the <strong>Main Comp<\/strong>, select the <strong>Mini DV Comp<\/strong> and apply the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/color-correcting-video-lumetri-scopes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><strong>Lumetri Color<\/strong> effect<\/a>.

Using this effect, we can punch up the harsh edging and aliasing on the footage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Set the<strong> Amount<\/strong> to <strong>150<\/strong>, and set the <strong>Radius<\/strong> to <strong>2<\/strong>. You can adjust these values to taste, depending on your footage, as this will add even more contrast and haloing to your footage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"755\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mini-DV-Footage-in-After-Effects-Unsharp-Mask.jpg\" alt=\"The Unsharp Mask effect added to a photo featuring two people in bear costumes walking down the street\" class=\"wp-image-179085\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mini-DV-Footage-in-After-Effects-Unsharp-Mask.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mini-DV-Footage-in-After-Effects-Unsharp-Mask.jpg?resize=300,179 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mini-DV-Footage-in-After-Effects-Unsharp-Mask.jpg?resize=277,165 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mini-DV-Footage-in-After-Effects-Unsharp-Mask.jpg?resize=359,214 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mini-DV-Footage-in-After-Effects-Unsharp-Mask.jpg?resize=543,324 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mini-DV-Footage-in-After-Effects-Unsharp-Mask.jpg?resize=560,334 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mini-DV-Footage-in-After-Effects-Unsharp-Mask.jpg?resize=150,89 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Finally, sharpen your footage using the <strong>Unsharp Mask effect<\/strong>.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s it!
