How To Create VHS Effects Using an Actual VCR
Sorry if the video pacing is a little slow, I made sure to make the information consumable by all.
Updates to video: Yes!
-For any trimming of video clips, using
-At 10:30 in the video, if you have the option, use the video codec "FFMPEG / x265" or "FFMPEG / x265 lossless". These are more efficient at compressing your video, saving space and preserving fidelity.
-When done with original obs recording of tape and it is very long and you need to trim it, using VirtualDub2 will work, but it might be very slow depending on your system. In VirtualDub2, you can click File, Export, Save Stream Copy. This will be snappy. For example, at 10:45, instead of saving like in the video, do the stream copy version. This will save a lot time and actually reduces compression artifacts. HOWEVER you cannot delete any portion of the video, you can only use the selector to find the beginning and end of your clip. It won't trim the video right otherwise.

Email: Sorry, I don't want my email in the video anymore so I redacted it. But you can still comment!

This isn't too hard to set up. Definitely look for VCRs locally as you are going to get scalped on the internet right now. ♥ best way to get an honest retro look. Enough of the fake vintage -- wrong aspect ratio -- post processing baloney

I used to do this same set up 5-6 years back with my synthesizer and an additional VCR to do multiple recordings of the same video for more distortion.

say could this setup be used to push your live video through the vcr and back to the computer to give your stream footage a vintage look?

Hey. I have a bunch of vhs tapes that stull has some records & sounds. I wanted to do the distortion effect. Can i make the input on my vcr distorted with a tape that has records & sound or do i need a new blank vhs tape for it to work?

Hi!
I see that the converter is for stereo output ( as your VCR is stereo too). If the VCR is mono, should I connect after the main adaptor a stereo to mono adaptor or just a stereo to mono cable?

Many thanks 😊

Hi, I have a little problem. What if my VCR has only SCART output?

Could I use premiere pro instead of virtual dub 2?

Hey question do you need a vcr tv to do this or can I just do this with a vcr?

JustSenix

My only issue with using HDMI converters is that 80% of them turn out horrible, they either have annoying lines show up, interlacing, the audio sounds all decimated, colour loss, or the footage just looks bad.
