What are Scratch Tapes?

The term comes from early computer days, where tape drives were used for dumping of data for re use later. When I started out as an editor, cutting on linear tape based systems, I ended up creating and carrying around a selection of Beta SP and Digi Beta tapes, containing effects and footage that could be re used in other edits. Examples of the stuff I used to keep on these tapes are: Film grain, flashes and clutter, light leaks, video feedback, background plates, lighting/flare effects and so on..

These packs were originally produced as stand alone clips, but since I’ve created my own FCPX effects with them, I’ve packaged them up for other editors to try.

How to use them.

They can be used in a number of ways, but probably the most obvious would be as overlays on existing footage or as backgrounds. Below are a couple of tutorials, using FCPX of how you can achieve old film clutter effects with a couple of mouse clicks in the effects or titles browser..no tweaking of multiple controls involved. This demo clip was created very quickly using just 4 or 5 different overlays, used to create transitions, add film grain/clutter and to create flicker effects on the text. This was achieved by stacking layers and adjusting each layers composite mode. No other plug in or effects were used.
