I need a clip for a video i'm doing, the shot is of a news report so im looking for some channel static or a breaking news clip (or both) any idea where I could find this type of footage? thanks for any help
Sure, hook your camera up to your TV and record it. I did this before to get "snow" (static) that I needed for an effect.
Final Cut has a setting for static. In the same menu button where you select text and slug there is a static or noice setting...
