VHS effect Vegas

Abas-Avara posted 2009 Oct 30 13:07
Hi,

I've created a video with the N95 8GB.
It looks okay and I've edited with transitions, slowmotions etc. But I want to add another effect.
A VHS effect, like it's in the 90's.

Someone made this, and I want to do the same thing.

I couldn't find any tutorial or anything explained in this direction so I ask here

I know I can also record it to a real VHS tape and recapture but this time I want to try it with software.
The software I use is Vegas.

Hope someone can help me out

What effect is it exactly that you are aiming for? The glow around the person?

Actually everything wich makes a '90's effect, colors, brightness as much as possible

If you are using Sony Vegas, the first thing you might play around with is the color curves. The effect in the video was likely done in front of a chroma screen, using chroma techniques. Chroma or Guiassian blur, and manipulated color curves.

I have made some experiments, I have to found just the right spot with the curves and the right combination effects.

I've worked with curves in Photoshop, and succusfully edited photos.
