god bless this tutorial, so many popular ones jus' tell you to shift the colors a bit n i just been sittin' here like 'how do i make it look good tho'

Honestly, I have created about 6 different types of VHS effect in AE and could never figure out how to make the "interlacing" displacement, and you just come in and whip out the most accurate thing I have ever seen. Nice video and thank you!

[filmstuff]

your visuals are incredible wished i could afford them

Just downloaded after effects for the very first time; never used any video editing software and this was the very first thing I tried out. You explained very well! Rendering the video now 🤞 let me know if you’re interested in viewing what you helped created

I paused as you went along and did the steps myself and that helped a TON.

I'm so stoked I found you on YouTube, honestly always been inspired by your work, and I greatly look forward to more tutorials in the future!💯

I’ve followed your insta for a decent amount of time now and I’m super stoked to see what you’ll do with YouTube 🙌 the tutorials are Keep it up!

I wish people would teach you how to make your own custom assets instead of constantly trying to sell you stuff :(

[Frickolas]

I have found that a very slight fish-eye lens effect to simulate the old bubbled CRT TVs can also help sell the effect.

going to go make my first soft! My first soft!! Here I go! Wish luck.

[afdiconafd]

wow thank you so much. no joke it is now so much easier and u explained it really good.

[Marshimized]

you should try to recreate the motion blur/resampling that happens on VHS tapes, too! loved the vid, super easy to follow

[nicolasacevedo]

Ezra thank you so much for all the amazing work and tutorials. I think is peak for a lot of people when I say its a huge huge help!!

[FackOff-vu]

Best explanation by far for us totally new to the software, thanks for your ti man, really looking forward to learning how to make so

[SoundPeaks]

Really helpful about displacement, thanks!

The one oversight here (if authenticity is the goal) is the footage is too high-res, most VHS footage will be PAL720x576 in the UK / NTSC640x480 in the US, the colour palette / chroma will be entirely different. You are basically getting modern footage and sticking a few VHS artefacts over it, sort of like putting a leather jacket on a business man and calling him a punk : )

[baselahmed]
