[ANSWERED] Is there a plugin which will allow me to easily create a VHS look?

Hi,

For a student's dance piece i need to match a live feed to some old degraded VHS footage. Are there any plugins that allow me to do that easily?

If not; does anyone have any advice on how I might achieve that look.

For context (and fun) this is what we're matching to

Thanks in advance

i'm sure you can build something to give it that 80's look, maybe string together some GLSL Shaders like this one: https://www.shadertoy.com/view/4dBGzK and https://www.shadertoy.com/view/4lB3Dc

Thanks @dbini this looks like there's some potential in these, but it's currently beyond my skill level to know how to use this in isadora.

it may be a step too far, but if you could help guide me that would be amazing.

The second one works nice in Isadora with copy paste in GLSL Shader actor:

@Michel @dbini

Thankyou both, I've just layered them both up with a video mixer actor and it's looking really good, I'm just going to play around with saturation and things now.

also, WOW, I never realised how powerful the GLSL shader was before (or knew what it does if I'm honest)

Learning is fun.

yeah, GLSL can be great. the best thing is that they are superfast with very little cpu use - everything happens on the gpu. (and also that other people make them and share them for free, so you don't have to do any coding)

Yes, so long as they share them non-attribution with no restrictions, otherwise you're technically using someone else's intellectual property illegally (not that anyone will ever catch you or come after you but it's a moral point).
