I know this is a demo of the pack, but this is also the best VHS tutorial i've found on youtube. all the effects are on point, thank you

[@stevenmcfarlanedesign]

Thank you so much really appreciate that! 🙏❤️

@@stevenmcfarlanedesign couldn't agree more with that comment. I only came to refresh my memory on getting the effect to sit on top of a video properly and watched the full thing. awesome how in a 10 minute video you completely sell your pack and show 'its as easy as this'.

[@stevenmcfarlanedesign]

@@deanoh1987 thanks so much! I put a lot of hard work into the effects and video so this means alot honestly! Thanks again! ❤️🙏

[@amclmusic]

I bought your pack and I love it. I'd love a similar tutorial on how you'd apply overlays but for the Super 8mm textures! Cheers :)

[@stevenmcfarlanedesign]

Hey Alasdair! Thank you, I plan to make a quick 8mm film tutorial too so hopefully release something soon.

[@UnchartedWorlds]

will this work with Davinci Resolve or is it only for Adobe product?

[@WolfgreyJ]

Thank you so much for this! Would you mind doing the logo tutorial on final cut?

[@stevenmcfarlanedesign]

Hey Jalen! No problem! Most of these techniques you should be able to replicate on final cut easily. At the moment I don't have access to final cut but if I ever do in the future I will update everything. 👍

[@SHINUCIDE]

Hi hello. I just purchased this pack on your site. I use Final Cut Pro. I know you simply drag and drop but how do I use the after effects. Importantly the 3D Logo Template (.ae) file template? I tried and it doesn't recognize it in app. What's the way to go for this?

[@stevenmcfarlanedesign]

Hey there! The after effects templates only work in Adobe After Effects unfortunately. I plan to look into getting a final cut version for these in the future though. Sorry for any inconvenience.

[@SHINUCIDE]

@@stevenmcfarlanedesign Alright for sure. The transitions are great anyway. I can definitely use them. Thanks for letting me know.

[@EddyRice]

Do your effects work with power director 21?

[@sethtylerjackson]

Is there a way to save these as presets in the effects tab on premiere?

[@stevenmcfarlanedesign]

Hey Seth! I believe you probably can, if you set up all the effects shown, I believe you can probably set it up as a preset to save even more time. I am currently looking at adding this into the pack! So stay tuned for updates.

[@testednomi]

how do you add the texture pack into premiere pro?I kinda started editing and I’m having trouble with that.

[@stevenmcfarlanedesign]

Once it's unzipped it's just a case of dragging and dropping into the project area. If you need any further help send me an email and I can make a small video for you if needed.

[@oighear4135]

hey I use fianl cut pro and I recently VHS Textures pack and I am wondering whats the best way to import it into fianl cut pro effects?

[@stevenmcfarlanedesign]

It's a collection of .movs files. Just drag and drop like the tutorial here shows you.

[@oighear4135]

@@stevenmcfarlanedesign thank you I have been recently getting a lot of new effects for Final Cut Pro. This is one of the ones that caught my eye

[@icybercati]

Heyya dude, i just bought the vhs and and analog packs, and i saw it doesnt work with vegas so i got Da Vinci 18 and im trying to work out how to install them as im kinda new to resolve. i did use final cut pro back in 2009 so i am used to a lot of the editing preferences, im just a little stuck with 18? any tips on how to bring them in dude?

[@stevenmcfarlanedesign]

Hey there! The files should work with sony vegas no problem at all. These are all drag and drop effects, so no need to install anything, it should be work the same as it does in this video in sony vegas execpt the 3D & Title files. Those files are exclusive to adobe after effects. What issue are you running into with Sony Vegas?

[@icybercati]

@@stevenmcfarlanedesign the overlays are .MOV files, and they are needing Quicktime player to run them in vegas. but with QT installed they still dont open in the timeline or media bin?

[@stevenmcfarlanedesign]

@@icybercati Whats your email? I'll send you the .mp4 versions instead.

[@MauiMax]

Can you use this for lumafusion as well?

[@stevenmcfarlanedesign]

As long as the software has blending modes (which I am positive LumaFusion has) they will work no problem at all. They work in virtually all video editing software.

[@immadielikethis]

I’m super confused when I replace the logo it doesn’t spin what do I do?

[@stevenmcfarlanedesign]

Hey! Can you send me an email with some screenshots and I'll be able to help you out. My email is [e-mail]

[@spook_st]

I'm having the same problem, did you work out how to do it?

[@mariom512]

I'm kind of a noob when it comes to AE. How can I resize my 3D logo so that it's in frame and not cut off?

[@stevenmcfarlanedesign]

Hey Mario! The easiest way would be to resize the PNG so its roughly the same size as the PNG thats supplied with the template. You can do this on photoshop, or I am sure there will be online PNG resizer websites. Or maybe even easier - open the composition called "3D LOGO" and simply scale the PNG down in there. That should fix it in the final composition.

[@mariom512]

@@stevenmcfarlanedesign Thank you! That's what I ultimately ended up doing.

[@refnfilms]

Hey, I just got these effects but I'm having trouble using them on Filmora.....any tips?

[@stevenmcfarlanedesign]

Hey there! I think I replied to your email? With filmora you need the MP4 versions which I sent over. If you haven't got it send me an email and I can resend. Sorry for any trouble!
