dude you are like saving the world with these videos. giving musicians the ability to self release their music on physical media formats is so important, especially cause most of us are broke and replication costs have barely changed over the past few years + it's important to have physical copies for preservation. i'm working on a cd release for an album i'm working on and you're helping me save a ton by being able to make these myself. also, i'm a vhs fan and this is like the only video i've seen on how to make these cases! in 2022!!! great work man
I've been looking into recording newer movies on VHS tapes lately for nostalgic reasons. It's actually pretty easily done tbh, you just need the right adapters for a VHS player to a laptop or anything you have that streams. Right now working on a VHS Edit for The Force Awakens, actually re-editing the film to fit a 4:3 frame (and I'm precise to where I want to make sure I'm having the shots line up with them, would be so much easier if I had an open matte edition lmao)
@@ACrafterinTraining Haha! Well I can say I've successfully done it! Now I just await to get myself an A3 printer to print off the VHS box to go with the tape (have already printed a nice label for it hehe)
@@BrianKishreviews The easiest way to record a VHS to a DVD or DVD to a VHS is to simply buy a DVD/VCR Combo Recorder. With that you simply press a couple of buttons and your recording. Also remember some tapes have copyright protection that will stop you from recording it and some DVDs have copyright protection as well. I wish you luck.

@@kazukiJume It depends on in which country you live in. In the states propably in almost every office supply store. Also you can order it from the internet. Most online printing companies have them in stock and charge very less for printing it for you.
I used a paper that is known as couche where I live, but I have been informed that is known differently in other areas. Glossy card stock paper is what I found to be similar online. Hope it helps.

I used premium semi glossy card stock paper. As for the settings, it depends on the printer and paper. I always select to print in best quality, no bleed, real size.
I'm totally not suggesting anyone do this but recording stuff to VHS is a good way to still be able to watch it when *insert streaming service here* pulls it down.
How do I change the Black Out Parts color if my case design is mostly black? It is difficult to see the trim lines of the slip cover with a black background.
you're videos are awesome, im obsessed, may i ask what printer do you use/recommend to print the sleeves, also what kind of paper do i use for the sleeve?
Thanks for the templates! Is the "VHS Slip Case.psd" file supposed to have multiple layers for the covers, sides, etc? It seems it only has the background "Black Out Parts" layer.
Hello, nice to greet you and I thank you for sharing this tutorial including the templates. Please advise how you configure the printer to print the vhs slipvover in real size, since I have done it but it prints at a smaller size and not at the measure, also ask what type of paper you use both for the labels and for the slipcover or box vhs box
Hello, glad you enjoyed the tutorial. The printing configuration might vary depending on the printer that will be use. to be honest, the only thing I do, is remove any edges that the printer might create and ensure the option to "print in real size" is selected. But to get to that configuration on my printer, I had to mess up multiple projects until I got it right. Trial and error is key when doing things with specific measurements. For the case I used a paper that is known as couche where I live, but I have been informed that is known differently in other areas. Glossy card stock paper is what I found to be similar online. For the labels, I use sticker paper with a semi gloss finish. Hope it helps.
When opening the VHS Slip Case.psd in Gimp, I'm forced to choose between two options that have to do with the image having an embedded color profile. I can keep the file as-is or convert the image to the "built-in sRGB color profile". Should I keep or convert?
You should keep it as is, but if you convert it, the only thing that will happen is that it will edited the colors a bit, which can be edited later on.
Yes, I also let them know to select the option "print in real size" and I even take a ruler to measure the end result in case I need them to re print it.
I'm assuming 11x17 ledger paper, i'm not a hundred percent sure but i will post an update on this comment as to whether or not it works, i think according to my measurements it should be that

Thank you so much for making this! I'm just wondering. How do you keep your artwork/background colors from covering the black portions of the template?
Hey there, I’m a year late to the video but hopefully you see this. I used your format and it works great for creating the covers.

Hey great video. I currently have a Chromebook (and am looking for a better laptop...lol), but was wondering if you had a way to do this using a Chromebook since we can't get Photoshop on a Chrome OS
I have not, but I've been told multiple times that photoshop files are not compatible with other programs, so I am working on making them accesible for everybody. As soon as I find a decent solutions I will make a video about it.
need your opinion on DPI. You have your templates set to 1000 DPI. Is that kind of resolution only something very special printers can do? Am I OK with 300 DPI?
I set them to 1000 because the printer I use needs high resolution images to print the best, specially when using complex elements in the design, like the small letters, etc. However, you are able to set it to 300 when using simple design or if your printer does not required high resolution.

Hi, I'm an absolute Beginner and have a Stupid question ---> Is it possible to use these Templates on other Programs than Photoshop. Thank you. And by the Way ---> THX for the Great Video ❤
It would really save my a** if you could help me out with this. I'm trying to recreate the Titanic VHS release and I can watch this video and make some beautiful cases no problem. But the Titanic VHS had a bigger slipcase the two VHS tapes in their cases went inside. Any idea how to create a 2 tape VHS slip box like the iconic Titanic VHS? Even from manufacturing companies the closest I can come is ordering slipcases for books, very expensive.
This is SO well done! Not only are the templates really easy to use, but your designs & reformatting of all of the cover elements look amazing! What type of sticker paper do you use for the tape labels? My only feedback would be: maybe mark your folds/creases on the blank side of the print, so the slipcase looks more seamless in the end!
Glad you liked it! For the sticker paper I use semi glossy premium sticker paper. Oh, that is a great idea! I will have to try that for my next project.

You should use a DVD and VCR to record the digital video onto VCR tape so you can actually watch the movie too
I did! But I took it to a shop so that someone could do that for me since I am not very good with that sort of things haha
Could you explain how to convert a DVD to a VHS? I've been struggling to do so and am now resorting to just using a video file from a laptop.
Can you actually do that

The height is 22.9 cm
The depth of the spine 3.8 cm
