📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼
A while ago I was working on a project where I needed to take some stock footage and make it look like it was shot on old VHS video. I went online to look for tutorials on UA-cam for creating a vintage VHS effect. And to be honest what I found wasn’t really what I needed. These tutorials generally involved a lot of After Effects work and the results they were making looked cool, and suited to the music videos and stylised graphics they were applying these effect to. But it didn’t look like actual VHS footage, and that’s what I needed.
So I set about trying to make an effect myself. Having grown up in the 1980s, I have a lot of old retro family videos shot on VHS. So I referred back to these to try and find out what the fundamentals of this look were. I managed to break it down to its key components and what’s interesting, is that you can do most of this stuff just natively in Premiere Pro.
In this video, I’m going to show you how you can put a vintage 1980s VHS effect on your videos, just using Premiere Pro. I’m going to do this in two ways: Firstly I’m going to show you a pack of motion graphics templates that I’ve made, and that you can download, where you just need to drag and drop your footage into the media replacement window, and it will add these emulations.
But if you don’t want to download the pack, don’t worry. Because I’m then going to show you how you can create a VHS effect yourself just using the native effects in Premiere Pro (without having to download or install anything - no plug-ins, no overlays, no hopping over to After Effects).

I just downloaded this, and I have the biggest smile on my face!! This is the coolest thing ever!! and you must have put in so much work. THANK YOU!!
Ok so ive been using something from this pack in every video, but was disappionted that it was locked at 24fps, but today i figured out you can go in after effects and change the fps to what you want. idk if i remember you said that, But im so happy i figured this out, hope this helps someone.
Hello, I live in brazil and really cannot afford to buy this. If you could share it with me I would be forever grateful. Again, I dont have the means to buy it. I know its a lot to ask so I thank you either way :)
not all superheroes wear capes
Or Spandex 😬
Absolutely mind-blowing how real these look.
Thank you.
21:50 that distortion is generated by the timecode track. Every VHS tape had a Video track (the video), time code track (maintains tape speed, in hours minutes, seconds and frames), and then two audio channel tracks. The time code track would be right below the Video track and signal would often bleed into the video track and as Jamie said it was often get cut off by most VCRs.
Thanks for the info. I did not know that.
I've been searching around for VHS simulations all over youtube and none of it have come close to yours! You have such a detailed analysis on what makes VHS a VHS, I love it! Thanks for making this
You've done it again! Your attention to detail always helps to generate a product that is unmatched. Thank you!
I was born in the 60´s, so, I made most of my photography and videos in the 80´s. You just brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much.
Man, that's absolutely awesome. Good job. I'm impressed.
I love how a lot of VFX use and tweak noise. I love how perfect knowledge of filters creates different very realistic effects out of pure randomness.
Thank you Jamie! We've been waiting for this!
I think those are the best vhs effects ive seen on this platform! so cool!!
Thank you so much for your incredible work! Love watching all of your videos and learning out of them❤
this is an amazing pack!! shoutout to you
This is absolutely mindblowing! I was looking for that kind of quality for a while now. You absolutely nailed it. Everyone can see your passion on your face especially at 12:25 :D. Very good product and nice pricing! Thanks for that kind of quality.
This is dead on identical jamie. I appreciate all your work.
Nice to see a new video from you! Thanks for your content.
amazing tutorial! thank you so much for a great job, literally love it
Absolutely stellar!! Thank you Jamie for your hard work. You've saved me the stress of having to buy a 16mm camera. I bought your bundle package :) Liked and subscribed. xD
Beautiful tutorial! I've been trying to find a tutorial for a late 70s inspired 'punk tape'. I was a bit skeptical about the Premiere only approach since I'm used to hopping into After Effects to make adjustments that go beyond Lumetri adjustments, but the result turned out SO much better than what I got with the other tutorials I've tried! Might still transfer and recreate your process in After Effects to save on rendering time in the end (it is quite fx heavy indeed and rendering out previews was painful), but anyway, THANKS JAMIE!! You're a life saver! 👌
Woohooo! Glad to see you back on youtube mate!
Jamie, damn. I love your videos, they help me so much on my work. Money is scarce in Argentina at the time, but whenever I can or whenever I need to use these, I'll certainly buy it. It's much deserved money. Thanks!
This guy is living in the past! We are in 2022 with high end mirrorless cameras and he's still emulating the 70s retro look and I LOVE IT! I'm buying it.
Dang, it really is realistic!
And the music just makes it better 😂
Nice, definitely wanna buy this
Love it!!!! This is so awesome
Thank you, you're like a Premiere artiste! (great journey following your tutorial instructions)
Very impressive, thank you so much for your expertise !
Just getting started on producing content to the internet, and this is exactly what i was looking for but currently i'm strugling to buy my first camera and in my currency this costs a ton of money, i know this is how you make your living but I would be so glad if you gave me a copy of this pack. it looks great, you did a great job, hope one day be able to buy this. Love from Brazil
This guy is the most mind blowing guy I have ever found to perfect whatever he wants what a guy 🤙🔥
Just bought JW VHS Assets pack - for Adobe Premiere Pro, worth every penny. If you are a retro junkie like me, you will have a hard time finding anything better than this. Can't wait to start editing my Vice City videos. Thank You Jamie!
Hello, I live in brazil and really cannot afford to buy this. If you could share it with me I would be forever grateful. Again, I dont have the means to buy it. I know its a lot to ask so I thank you either way :)
Damn what an insanely great tutorial, thanks!
Bruh you a life saver!!
The 16 mm plug-in looks KILLER
Thanks. I'm particularly proud of that one.
am just seeing this and it's crazy how my favorite effect was done on my birthday
I'm going in 43 (2023) and I have been fiddling with a small list of software to do this kind of affects on videos I have been wanting to do. Now the time has come for me to dig out all my old notes and apply some of these affects. This software has come a long way since a few uears back.
It will be fun and interesting to download this software and use it to the hilt of cliché retro. Video was very interesting and informative, thanks foe putting all the work on your videos, they really are of use.
He is BACK👍🏻❤️
Amazing
This is spot on 👌
I have a mimi dv cam a Panasonic vhs camera these are very real well done
If there was anything close to this available for FCPX I’d be so all over it. This is really well done.
agree !
@@fabiogentili What? FCPX comes with VHS effects and hundreds of others.
This effect really convinced me, because I missed the part where you import the footage of your daughter into the timeline and after seeing it with all the effects I thought it was one of your old home VHS footage.
This is amazing! Thank you for the tutorial. Do you have more, for Mini Dv, 16mm or 8mm, even older cameras would be fun.
Super sweet! I would love to check out your after effect project file with your essential graphics controls!
You can open MOGRTs as After Effects files if you wanted to have a look to see how they're built.
I would not be opposed to having two separate videos- one for the VHS assets and tips and one for the 16mm. I used the VHS on a creative project a month ago and now I'm playing with the 16mm and its a little cumbersome scanning back and forth looking for the relevant content.
Brilliant work! I bought your first installment of retro assets and I'm thoroughly impressed! It has made me hyper-aware of all the intricacies of old film "imperfections," and I'm constantly studying old movies now to emulate those effects in post! This new asset pack is on my wishlist (for the 16mm emulations alone!). However, one thing I noticed from the last pack of assets is that the jitters and flickers occur the same way every time in the MOGRTs (especially noticeable in titles with text). For instance, text jitters and drifts in the same pattern every time and becomes apparent when the title is applied multiple places in the same production. Even the film dust overlay starts to feel familiar if looped more than once. I've tried making the MOGRTs feel fresh by slowing down the duration and/or putting them in reverse speed, or splitting one instance of film dust and rearranging the order on the timeline. And for some of the text titles, I feel limited when some of them have built-in film grain; I wish I had greater control there. Do you have any tips for making the assets feel more organic and less like I dragged an effect or a 30s overlay onto my footage? Maybe the answer lies in creating my own in After Effects, but I would love your input on having even more control over the asset pack. Not knocking your work, but wishing I could fine-tune even more. I appreciate all you've done to enhance people's photo/video experiences!
Thanks for the feedback, this is very useful. The jittering is meant to be generated randomly, but clearly this isn’t with MOGRTs. Moving forward, I can fix this by adding more sliders for control over the parameters.
Just picked it up
Thank you🔥
the 16mm is amazing !
It’s kind of ironic that I set out making this pack to be a VHS-only pack, and then I made the 16mm emulations, and now they’re probably my favourite thing in the pack.
@@jamiewindsor i'll probably be buying it for that alone
Thx mate !
instant buy
These are absolutely amazing! Ive noticed a few of the VHS plugins I purchased have a length /trim limit when i drag in (ie, the length of my clip is longer than the effect so it doesnt last entire duration. I am still relatively new at Premiere but am I doing something wrong or is there another workaround to this?
Looks amazing, it's just frustrating it's not for Davinci Resolve...
I swear this is nearly a completely different video from when I first watched it a month ago (I return to it whenever I use the assets to refresh on all your pointers)
I would watch these videos for hours just for the effect. Nice music selection btw - shazam doesn't recognize it though.
That’s because I wrote and recorded it.
in regards to the Premiere tutorial (no pack) how would I go about saving everything as one preset? I know I can do this on one clip by going to effect controls and highlighting each effect, right clicking all of them and then selecting 'save preset' but since the effects are spread out across 2 video clips, the 2 colour mattes and the adjustment layer, is it possible to select everything and save it as one preset? Thanks
he's back !! looks great... what are the chances you could make this for Davinci Resolve ? 🙏
Or final cut
They're not programs I use I'm afraid, so no immediate plans for anything like this in Final Cut or DaVinci Resolve. This isn't a plugin, but rather an inbuilt feature in Adobe software that allows people to use After Effects features in Premiere Pro.
WOW 👏👏👏
bought the pack I love it! what font was used on the title over the car picture?
Thanks. Glad you like it. The font is an Adobe font and it's called Modesto Poster.
I bough tte pack and love it! Question though: You mentioned being able to pull your whole timeline into one of the 16mm profiles. How does one do that? So far, I can only seem to drag individual clips. Cheers!
You just drag your sequence into the essential graphics media replacement window, like you would individual clips.
@@jamiewindsor Thanks for the reply! I'll give it another try.
@@stuffandthingsyoutube No worries. Just to clarify, I mean the sequence icon in your project window.
How did you do these glich transitions between the clips? Is there any video where it is explained? :) Awesome UA-cam channel!
It's just a cut of captured footage from old VHS tapes I had. Often when you recorded over something already on the tape, there would be a glitch where it cuts back to what's underneath. I just sampled a load of those frames and put them all together. It's one of the assets in the downloadable pack. Sometimes I also overlay the glitch footage and just roll the clip underneath with vertical transform keyframes.
@@jamiewindsorThank you very much. What a great support. Love your channel so much.
How do you install the fonts first? I got the mogrts but not the fonts. Also thank you for this. This is AWESOME
The fonts should be in a folder called _Fonts_
If you haven’t got that, contact me through my website with your transaction details and I’ll resend you the fonts.
I really love this!
The only thing I noticed is that the real VHS footage is not only blurry, but also aliased. Are there downscale and upscale filters in Premiere Pro?
Maybe slightly soften it, then downscale it to a fixed resolution of maybe 240p, do all those effects (which would now always take the same fixed values, because it's always the same resolution) and then upscale it again to 1080p (or whatever) at the end. Using crude interpolation methods both times, if any.
I guess that would make things needlessly complicated, as it does look great as it is, but it would take it just a touch closer to realism, at the further expense of visual clarity.
Thanks for this!
Do you mean interlaced? Badly deinterlaced video has an alternating horizontal line effect where the two fields are shown at once. This isn’t part of the VHS look though, this is VHS that has been transferred to digital without being deinterlaced properly.
@@jamiewindsor Oh, you may be right, I didn't think of that! Makes sense.
Can you do one version for Davinci Resolve please?
Can you make a tutorial on making horrible looking 90s VHS home videos look good?
Thanks for the great content mate
Trying to use this for vertical video. Is it possible to use Home Video 1 for this purpose? I've already purchased the asset pack.
You could either zoom in or flip it 90 degrees. This pack was designed for 16:9 aspect ratio, though. Im currently working on a pack for vertical video which will be released in the not too distant future.
Is there some feature that will make your settings continuously variable? I know you can key frame it, but that is a hassle. I was thinking of an LFO type of thing, only for video.
You’d probably be able to set something up in after effects with some scripting, but not in premiere.
Hey! I've bought and tried to use the pack, but have two questions:
What is the resolution of those effects? Is it 4K friendly?
Also, some effects last only for a few minutes. Can we extend them to match the duration of longer videos?
Sorry if that's not the right place to ask that.
Congrats for all the very useful videos and packs you've been making, you've helped me a lot in my photography and video editing hobby practice over the years! :)
Hi. The resolution is HD for all these. I saw no point in making 4K versions this time as I'm working with sampled video from standard definition VHS captures and soft 16mm film emulations. The user might as well just scale up the effects themselves so save on rendering times and file size. It will look the same. Any scalable effects will render at the size they're scaled up to.
With regards to the length, from feedback it does seems that people want longer-running effects. Moving forwards, this is what I'll do. I've already amended the pack to add in some 30-minute versions. My only worry with this is that it might give people the wrong idea on how to use them. I don't recommend editing a big sequence and then dropping the whole thing into a media replacement MOGRT, but rather to apply one MOGRT per clip to make sure that your exposure, colour balance, distortion, softness etc is all working how you want it to. It's a shame that MOGRTS have to be a pre-set length and can't be determined by the user. If you want to place a piece of media into an effect you want to run for longer, the workaround would be just to keep laying the MOGRTs end-to-end on your timeline and starting the next clip from where the previous one left off using In and Out markers.
@@jamiewindsor Hi, and thanks for taking the time to reply! It all makes perfect sense. I may have simply missed the 30 min versions while editing, I’ll check again! Congrats again for putting up such a great pack, cheers!
You are just a phenomenally talented person. And you keep not including Final Cut users in the blessings you give to us all. Do you not hear our prayers? I know, you are busy exploring the cafes and chippys in Bath. Bless ya.
I hear you, but unfortunately Final Cut isn’t capable of supporting the effects I use to create these. The effects I use are part of Adobe’s software, there’s no external software or plugins to install. If Final Cut was capable of everything After Effects could do, I would definitely make a version of this for FC. But right now it would have to involve making an external plugin (and I’m not a software engineer unfortunately).
Never say never, but right now it’s not a possibility. Sorry.
@@jamiewindsor I know this, and I forgive you. But something in me just won't let you rest about it.
Again, I appreciate you very much, love your work, and hope your new life in Bath (am I remembering correctly?) is terrific.
Can you drag and drop multiple video clips into the graphics? For example I’m trying to do this with Home Video 2 but it only allows be to use one clip.
Make a timeline with your clips in and then drop that into the media replacement window. Alternatively, just cut the MOGRT with the razor tool, specify your in and out points and drop a second clip in after the cut.
@@jamiewindsor Thanks!
i find the 16mm look you did quite interesting, but im curious if you used a high end camera to start off with the initial footage (before applying the look elements), or just a regular camera.. i mean, if it was a7siii, or a bmpcc... then i would be less impressed...
It was very basic. I used a combination of a canon point-and-shoot (G7X), mobile phone footage and a Canon DSLR. In actuality the better quality the camera, the less 16mm the output looks. I think this is because 16mm cameras tended not to be super sharp and achieve super-shallow depths of field.
@@jamiewindsor alright. then i can say i'm impressed :)) congrats for the good work
How did you do Win98 look at 2:44 ? Manual animation or some emulator?
It's a free Windows 95 emulator by Felix Reisberg.
Hey Jamie instead of dragging a clip onto the graphics window could I drag over an already made sequence and or clips already cut in a timeline? Thanks
That wouldn’t work as the effects wouldn’t be applied to the video, but rather to a blank track laid over the top. But you could drag the timeline you created into the essential graphics window.
@@jamiewindsor Cheers Jamie, by timeline are you referring to a sequence? Or is there another way to drag in the timeline?
@@applesforakbar Yes, a sequence.
@@jamiewindsor perfect good to know I'll pick it up. Thanks for your hard work!
@@jamiewindsor Ended up picking it up, worked like a charm, great work Jamie! I almost want to edit my photos using this haha
is there a way to use in a vertical mode (ok, I know I can rotate.....but i'm asking about the VCR texts)
Not unless you zoom in. It’s a bit of a tricky one as they are made by sampling real video tape which means it’s 4:3 (or 16:9 if you stretch it slightly). You can’t just rotate the video as it wouldn’t look right. The distortion is very much a horizontal thing so it would look like video turned on it’s side.
I was thinking about making a pack for vertical video. But this would involve creating new sampled footage by chopping up the frame and putting it back together in 9:16 format.
ay nooooooooooooooooooo23 euros!!!! buuu me toca crearlos, gracias por los videos, ojala tuviera $ para comprar los preset! ♥
Does this work with vertical video?
does this work with the latest version of premiere?
Yes
Hey can i get a smaller file because i don't really have alot ram can you split up the files so i don't have to download the whole file?
I'm not sure how RAM impacts the size of file you're able to download, but if you've purchased the pack and are having issues downloading, drop me a message from the form on my website (jamiewindsor.com) and I will work out a way to get you the files.
I'm trying to use these in Premiere Pro and it makes the playback so slow and laggy, but in your video, the playback is smooth and unaffected. How do I fix this?
This is a difficult question to answer without knowing much about your setup and what you're trying to do. Ultimately, while these MOGRTs are pretty well optimised for the amount they do, there will always be a limit to how much your computer can handle before it starts to slow down. Using lesser compressed clips like ProRes will take less processing power than a codec like MP4, which should make it run faster. It should all play back fine if you render the clips in your timeline as you go (if the bar above the clip is red, it's unrendered. It will go green if you render it).
this vhs effects is i have to pay monthly or ill pay once? thank u
It’s just a one-off payment. No subscription.
Hi, can i ask what font you used for the PLAY overlay?
It’s a pixel font I made. It’s in the pack. There are other free ones you can get online. The one I made has play/pause/rewind etc icons as part of it.
Oh alright! Thanks for the info, i'll buy
your pack when i have money! 😁
I am having issues where I cannot upload all the packs or fonts at all.
Sounds like the file might have corrupted during download. Message me from the form on my website and we'll get it fixed.
Would be interested in one day creating an asset pack for a 1950's television look and sound? Something like 'What's My Line?'
I watch those old clips and there's just something captivating about the way it looks
Hello, I can still buy this even though I'm in the US?
Yes.
how do i repurpose these for 4:5 ratios?
How much of a pain is it if your project is already edited? Can I import the entire timeline and be able to still edit the light and color on each individual clip?
Yes. You can drag the whole timeline in and still edit it and drag it in again to update.
@@jamiewindsor How can you edit each shot when the whole timeline is imported into the template which only shows as one clip in the sequence?
@@TheSlimDuffyShow Edit it in your original timeline.
@@jamiewindsor Ok I see. Haven't ever used essential graphics before so I'm kind of a n00b there... I noticed the 16mm clips are only 5 minutes in length... Do you have any input on the best way to approach using these graphics on a full length film? Sorry to hound you... Super excited to use this stuff because all these look amazing!
@@TheSlimDuffyShow Well, you could piece them together, one after the other, and cut your film into 5 minutes sections. Or extend the length of the MOGRT by using After Effects (if you have that and know how to use it). It's a little tricky as I could make a 2-hour length 16mm emulation, but that would mean that people would be dragging a 2-hour clip into their sequences, when most people will probably just be using the effect on short pieces of footage. It's not really what the MOGRT feature is meant for. I just realised it could work as an emulation as well as adding customisable motion graphics. I meant for the effect to be applied to a single shot at a time rather than a finished, edited piece of video. However, there's nothing to say it couldn't be used that way. But I would expect that you would need to tweak individual shots to get the best results out of it.
Could we get a 1990s 16mm film look perhaps…?
If this proves popular, I might develop a more dedicated pack of film emulations.
@@jamiewindsor That's what I like to hear
any chance on a discount for a brazilian fellow filmmaker? lol the exchange is kinda harsh on us here...
does the .morgt only work with 1920 x 1080p? i'm trying to adjust the size for reels and it's cropping...thanks in advance to anyone who can help
Hi. These are designed to work with a 16:9 ratio. They will scale to different sizes, but if you try to use them on 9:16 video, they would need to be cropped or rotated. With the increasing popularity of 'vertical' video, my upcoming set of retro MOGRTs has both landscape and portrait versions. But they need to be completely built from scratch. The main problem being is that these work with sampled footage, and VHS was 4:3.
Is there any way to make the current ones work in a vertical aspect ratio? @@jamiewindsor
@@isaacwhite8301 The only options are to either rotate them 90° or to crop in. These ones aren’t designed for vertical video, but I’m working on a new set that are.
@@jamiewindsor sorry I’m so new to it all! How do you rotate? And do you know when the vertical new pack would be available :))
Does this work with a cracked premiere pro version (2023)?
I couldn’t say.
can it work on davinci resolve since it’s just drag and drop file
Hi. Unfortunately it’s Premiere only. These are Adobe’s own format.
@@jamiewindsor if i get a free trial from adobe, is there a way to transfer it? i really want to use it on davinci
Anybody know how to archive this look in photos?
does it make any one else's footage very laggy? looks amazing but when looking at it through my timeline it becomes very laggy
It's applying a lot of effects to your footage to achieve the look. Depending on the speed of your computer, the type of processor you have, your graphics card etc, it can have trouble previewing smoothly without rendering it first. There's no way around it unfortunately.
thank you, but it would be nice to be able to zoom in and out in post
You can if you add scale keyframes to your timeline and then drop the timeline into the media replacement window.
Hello i can use it on Premiere pro 2023
👍 yes.
Wait, is Leading really pronounced "ledding"? I always thought it was like "leeding".
Yeah. It comes from old letterpress printing where they would add strips of lead between the lines to increase line spacing.
@@jamiewindsor Learn something new every day :)
This works great but it took me three hours to render a one minute clip lol
Really? Oh dear. It shouldn’t be that memory-intensive. Try converting your clips to ProRes before applying the effects. It might help.
@@jamiewindsor Yeah but I'm working on a laptop with 8GB RAM and an AMD mobile graphics card. I expected the render to be slow but not quite this bad. Might stick with my original plan and just find an old camcorder. Appreciate the video all the same, very easy to follow!
@@username30536 Oh, are you using the premiere tutorial? Yeah, that’s a bit of a memory killer. Sorry. I thought you were talking about asset pack (which has been tested on slower machines and was working surprisingly fast).
I dont know how not to buy this.
