Typically you&#8217;ll find lots of chromatic aberration in older or cheaper lenses. This isn&#8217;t ideal for\u00a0modern video projects, but it&#8217;s perfect for creating a vintage look.

In order to do this, I recommend using the <strong>curves effect<\/strong>. In the curves effect, <strong>navigate to the blue curve<\/strong> and bring down the highlights, but keep the shadows about the same. This will warm up the highlights in your image and give your footage just a slight sepia look. You don&#8217;t want to take this too far \u2014\u00a0you can quickly begin to make your film look a little too western. Just remember, warming up your highlights just a touch can go a long way.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-72185\" title=\"How to Give Your Video a Vintage Look: Warm Up Highlights Example\" src=\"https:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Warm-Up-Highlights.png\" alt=\"How to Give Your Video a Vintage Look: Warm Up Highlights Example\" width=\"755\" height=\"303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Warm-Up-Highlights.png 1000w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Warm-Up-Highlights.png?resize=300,120 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Warm-Up-Highlights.png?resize=768,308 768w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Warm-Up-Highlights.png?resize=277,111 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Warm-Up-Highlights.png?resize=359,144 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Warm-Up-Highlights.png?resize=543,218 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Warm-Up-Highlights.png?resize=865,347 865w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Warm-Up-Highlights.png?resize=994,399 994w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Warm-Up-Highlights.png?resize=560,225 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Warm-Up-Highlights.png?resize=150,60 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"turn-down-saturation\">Turn Down Saturation<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-72192\" title=\"How to Give Your Video a Vintage Look: Turn Down Saturation\" src=\"https:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Turn-Down-Saturation.jpg\" alt=\"How to Give Your Video a Vintage Look: Turn Down Saturation\" width=\"755\" height=\"378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Turn-Down-Saturation.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Turn-Down-Saturation.jpg?resize=300,150 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Turn-Down-Saturation.jpg?resize=768,384 768w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Turn-Down-Saturation.jpg?resize=277,139 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Turn-Down-Saturation.jpg?resize=359,180 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Turn-Down-Saturation.jpg?resize=543,272 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Turn-Down-Saturation.jpg?resize=865,433 865w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Turn-Down-Saturation.jpg?resize=994,497 994w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Turn-Down-Saturation.jpg?resize=560,280 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Turn-Down-Saturation.jpg?resize=150,75 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One thing that&#8217;s easy to see in <strong>vintage<\/strong> <strong>video<\/strong> is the lack of bright colors.

You can easily do this in\u00a0most video editing applications by adding a saturation effect.
