I don't need this app I have an iPad 2. The camera quality is the same as VHS.

same
Brandon Mandell Tab 4 too m8
X2
ME TOO XD
*goes to video settings, changes to 240p* there we go, much better
144p all the waaaay
The fact that these destructive flaws of VHS are now considered nice really makes me old :D I remember watching VHS movies at home, on our VCR, I remember recording TV shows and movies from TV, and I remember home video. VHS was still widely used in early 2000's, which I still remember as a kid, to some extent I remember the very last year of 1990's - or at least the last month of 1999. I remember the 2002 floods in Czechia like it was yesterday. I was a small kid back then. Jeez, I'm really getting older :D VHS begun to fade away in 2006-ish, with the massive flood of DVD players and recorders and a massive floods of movies distributed on DVD. Now DVDs are getting obsolete, even Blu-Rays are getting obsolete. It wasn't even that long since Blu-Rays came out, I guess it was around the same time DVDs begun to flood the market, but it took them around 5 years to get traction, so it was really just 2010-ish when Blu-Rays became more popular, alongside with DVDs, and now they're going away. Not sure why. But the fact we're returning back to the old fashioned looking video that gives out the VHS vibes again, oh man! :D I need to get a working VCR, so I can watch some tapes we have home still :D
I just read an interview with the creator on Wired, the thing is, you can't save the original video "without the filter"... because it's not a filter.
This thing is an emulator. It's basically thousands of layers of processing done on the GPU in real time, which are recorded onto a file.
Nice!
That's kinda the point of the app I guess. I would be actually curious if I could somehow pre-record the original video, and then process the pre-recorded file.
The music is what makes it
It works really well. I got it. It's actually 3 dollars, not 4. Well worth the purchase. It has the normal generic VHS look but there is also a multi-color filter and a black and white filter.
@@YSAImusic no thats the lite one
No it's 3.99 but that translates to 4.31
OH BOY CAN'T WAIT FOR ALL THE AMATEUR FOUND FOOTAGE MOVIES!
this is offensive to the ACTUAL VHS, this is not even close to the vhs, this is like the great value of vhs
lol, this looks so real!!!
Some of this is true but some of it isn't- meaning the picture quality being grainy and lines going through picture only happened if over the years it was watched over and over
I still have VHS tapes and one of them from 1985 + 86, And some of it is grainy and other parts are really clean looking and clear
mikey p cool
That's exactly it. The grainy stripes and noise is actually caused by combination of dust, scratches and mechanical stretching of the tape. Mechanical stretching also causes fluctuation of the playback speed, which is very noticeable if the tape is re-recorded from another tape. Nothing really beats the actual thing. If you are going for a found footage style that should look like it was taken in 1980's, then you should really go for a real camcoder and use a real VHS tape, for authenticity. Yes, it will be more expensive, but it will look far more convincing.
Love the cheesy music too. LOL!
Can you import your own videos into the app or does it only work when recording in app?
>Dirty Dancing cassette
Greasy boys. Julian's gonna love this.
Next they will make an app that mimics old phone calls with static and drop outs?
Will they bring back Dial up and AOL too? I really hope so
+Taylor ∆ virtual busy signal
I want that O.O
I can't wait for the version with 6 head hi-fi stereo with Dolby noise reduction systems onboard (it would look so much better)
I love this app
Hilarious because i have a 1988 Magnavox camcorder and the video quality is crystal clear. not grainy .....
Love the video and fun to make to use an app like that on the iPhone!
It's scary accurate! I sense a lot of trolling/pranking coming lol...
the 80s are calling they want their Macintosh back
this is so cool omg
ZizYoubizHERE I agree
LIKE WEIRD PAUL, IT'S MODERN VIDEO FILM!
I should've downloaded this app
I want one that records longer than 3 minutes
I hate that you can’t import videos 🤦🏽♀️
Did you tell us which app it was?
it looks too fake, there's nun of the subtle imperfections(god that sounds pretentious). also, the film quality is too crisp and detailed. its not convincing to me
Jordan Stowe what about in 240p
i have my -laptop- *ASUS Model X553M Notebook Personal Computer Device*, and it's camera quality is 120p
Кевин Марслии which is 144p in UA-cam upscale quality
So I guess that horror movie V/H/S will be filmed from this app on the iPhone.
The Readers Corner you mean the ring
It's cool that it's now on android. (I think.)
How to make the video record in real time? Cause when I play it, it's going fast forward. I can't seem to find a settings button and I don't know how to fix or change it.
0:27 Sarcastic?
does anyone know how to keep the 4:3 aspect ratio when importing the camcorder vhs app videos into iMovie??
I cant find the app.
The audio needs to be muffled more. its too clean.
Aaron that's really hard to do
How did they capture the audio?
why this is not a free 😭😭😭
And Play Store
make for android please ; (
+koragot Madaeng they are working on it.
+koragot Madaeng For real I cannot f-ing stand how everything is catered to iPhones first! >:[
+Sebizzar Not everything. ;)
Olli Jokinen Lol you again! XD
+Olli Jokinen Can't wait for this to finally come to Android.
can you make it free plz??
MarEpor she didn't make it
Or buy an old VHS camcorder from Ebay and that STATIC will look REAL ha ha ha
Josh M cool but expensive
Josh M also uploading that to UA-cam costs alot of money with paying for the converter to convert them to mp4 so you can get them on your computer it adds up and plus the old cameras are heavy And these cameras could cost alot on eBay most are black and white and plus VHS is dead and no one makes VCRs anymore you could buy them used but theres chance it don't work converting a VHS tape to mp4 format requires a VCR and a computer those converter could 100s of dollars 50 at best it's not worth it I know you want actual lines but that adds up VHS camcorder app is the cheapest way to make VHS videos VHS camcorders may be cool but alot of money besides VHS is outdated although it's cool
Josh M you need clean your VHS heads if it looks like that
what the hell? you damn kids these days I swear
WHY THE FUCK IS THOS NOT ON ANDROID? I mean there are other 80's vhs camcorder apps but those suck ass!
TheLegendaryGamer apps are usually made for the iPhone first

Judy Terry Not on android bruh.
