In this Premiere Pro video editing tutorial, we will cover layering effects together and using color effects, blurs, and blend modes to convert a beautiful, HD clip to an older ratty-looking 1980s-1990s style camcorder style of footage. This is a very transferrable effect as well because we will take these effects and save them as a couple of presets so we can apply this effect to any project we like. Thanks for checking it out!

This is handsdown the most legit looking vhs effect

[@tutvid]

Thank you so much, Ali!

[@placebo_yue]

one of the best looking ones i've found. Many of these tutorials settle for a very instagramey look that doesn't really look like VHS, it's just chromatic aberration + noise and some "PLAY" letters on top. Good job

[@RoadStuffUK]

Bless you for sharing the written version, I find it easier and faster to re-create from a written source.

[@KiameXIII]

This tut was super easy to follow along for a newbie at premiere like me and the result came out fantastic !!! I also understood what each effect does, so I tweaked the numbers a bit to achieve the result I wanted. Thank you so so much !! 💯💯

[@CraigBillmeier_aka_Ums]

Just wanna say thanks for being so thorough during this process.

[@greedisgoodz]

it took me 3 hours to render haha .. jesus christ

[@tutvid]

Yikes. I hate rendering too.

[@JoshFromPerth]

Skip the last few effects, they contribute minimally and take an enormous toll on rendering time :/

[@sophiesardari8875]

THIS WAS SUCH AN INCREDIBLE AND HELPFUL TUTORIAL THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@ArtyCat]

Thank you, one of the most brilliant tutorials I've ever watched

[@edtypo6119]

Just my take on this but the overlay from the noise was a bit meh. Im aware you see noise snow in VHS footage but what i find fitting when those horizontal come the footage should also glitch a bit. I know its just a basic tutorial and you're not going in depth about this; just sharing my thought and have a small discussion about it.

[@tutvid]

The final layer of noise is definitely something that can be left out if need be. The Color Emboss helps draw out that fringe glitchy effect, but you could stack up layers of video and add a Channel effect to bring out any mixture of R G or B channels and offset the overlaid video tracks. For this video, I really wanted to try to keep everything in one or two effects that could easily be dropped onto Adjustment layers for multiple projects. 👍

[@n3m3sis35]

thx man! really good explained!!! really appreciate it!

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

[@bluekalamian3067]

Were you able to find the Shadow/Highlight effect in 2023? I couldn't find it and don't see an alternative or an answer as to why online.

[@OutReachfromZane]

On black colors and slightly on people of color the white sheen was way too strong (almost like a white cloud) but all I did was deactivate the second brightness and contrast and it was much better.

[@muhammadhaziqbinibrahim4728]

Thank you!!!!!

[@zurabdzhidzhilava7161]

Thank you! Really helpful. And in static it's all good. But the way objects/people are moving reveals that is just an effect. So for a mockumentary project I choose to use a real old one Hi8 camcorder)

[@liox105]

[@sydneymorrow]

Shadow highlight is no longer in the effects pannel. Would you just set shawdows to 100 and highlights to 35 in lumertri?

[@PainIsntExist]

Nice. Thanks

[@mukti1391]

you need to change frame to 10, it's too smooth

[@Gabriel-zc2up]

awesome always the best help out there :)

[@sparkyfolf9487]

What about that VCR fluctuating streaks effect wich is hard to figure out since it can boost vhs style footage to make it look more organic like used tape from a pawn shop.

[@2kdemiks816]

Thank youuy

[@The-Music-Files]

Thanks

[@cuttothechasenews]

Really great tutorial. However, this look is great for recreating old home movies from camcorders. I was making a video montage of 80s movies to play on an old CRT TV, and this effect really was blown out on those clips and didnt really create the VHS look as if you bought an old Jurrassic Park VHS. Like I said though, this is perfect for the home movie effect.

[@chicswag4657]

And analog horror too

[@cooliefm3528]

Great video!! subscribed! look forward to seeing more great vids! very informative and quick and easy.1

[@tutvid]
