Applying the VHS Effect
-
Access Effects: Tap on the "Effects" option from the menu bar located at the bottom of your screen.
-
Video Effects: Next, select "Video Effects." Here, you’ll find a variety of effects to enhance your video.
-
Add Noise Effect: In the effects panel, add a "Noise" effect to your video. This effect will give your video the grainy look characteristic of old VHS tapes. Remember to increase the intensity of this effect for a more pronounced vintage feel.
- Incorporate Tracking Error Effect: To mimic the tracking issues that were common with VHS recordings, add a "Tracking Error" effect. This will further enhance the nostalgic vibe of your edited video.
Adjusting Color and Saturation
To achieve a more authentic VHS look, you need to adjust the color and saturation of your video:
- Decrease Saturation: Lower the saturation to replicate the faded colors found in old tapes.
- Add Color Tint: Introduce a slight color tint for a subtle color distortion, reminiscent of VHS footage.
Finishing Touches
To complete the VHS effect, apply a vignette to your video:
- Add a Vignette: This effect will darken the edges of your video, drawing focus to the center and enhancing that vintage aesthetic.
Preview and Export
After applying all the effects, preview your video to see how the VHS effect looks. Make any necessary adjustments to ensure you’re satisfied with the final product.
When you’re happy with the result, export your video, and it’s ready to be shared with your audience!
