In Effect Controls, change the Blend Mode to Screen. It tended to be rather prominent in old VHS tapes, so we've just recreated the effect. This will make what's known as chromatic aberration, a visual effect that distorts the RGB channels of footage. In this one's Color Balance effect, change the Red to 0.ġ9. Finally Select the bottom Winter footage layer.ġ8.

Change it to 105, to slightly displace the footage relative to the other two identical ones.ġ7. Change the Blend Mode of the layer to Screen.ġ6. Go into the Color Balance effect there and change the Red to 0.ġ4. Navigate to the Opacity settings in the same panel.ġ1. In the Effect Controls panel, scroll down to the new Color Balance effect.ĩ.

Chromatic Aberrationġ. This will show you the first Effects you've applied, giving the footage that old, grainy effect you'd get on camcorders from the '90s. Now let's go down to the Noise effect in the Effect Controls panel.ġ2. In the Effect Controls panel that appears in the top left, find the Wave Warp effect you applied earlier.ġ0. Drag and drop the Noise effect onto the same Adjustment Layer.ĥ. Now type in Noise in the Effects panel.Ĥ. Drag and drop the Wave Warp effect onto the Adjustment Layer already placed into the project for your convenience.ģ. In the Effects panel, type in Wave Warp.Ģ. Finally, we'll place a VHS overlay on the footage to give those final VHS details. After that, we'll put a Color Balance effect on the three footage layers and adjust those numbers to give a bit of a warped color effect. We'll be starting from creating an Adjustment Layer with Wave Warp and Noise to give that grainy, distorted visual affect old cassette tapes have. In this tutorial, we've already set up the black bars on either side of the footage to create an appropriate VHS aspect ratio for the footage. You should end up with a Premiere Pro VHS Effect folder. After the download has finished, be sure to unzip the file if it hasn't been done for you.
