PXL effect for Premiere?

[Tim Koffley <tim@benefittechnology.com>]

i'm not sure how plug-in effects for Premiere work but if they're anything like Photoshop plugins whouldn't it be relatively easy to come up with a PixelVision plug-in effect?  i guess you'd just have to reduce it to b/w with whatever number of shades of grey the PXL uses then somehow simulate the low frame-rate stutter.  am i way off here?  shouldn't this be doable?  is there any other element of the PXL effect you'd need to recreate?  i think the wild reactions to light changes might be tough to simulate.  any ideas?



i realize there are purists out there who may object to my suggestion of simulating PXL output but, hey, it's the end result we're really after isn't it?  who cares how we got the wacky look.



thinking in terms of ease,
