faking vhs warping/dropouts

[rrats]

The attached video is what I've managed to do so far when replicating the look of VHS.

I've resized it to 360p as well as compressed it in the end in order to hide the fakeness of the fake noise added in the end (which had higher resolution than the bob deinterlaced video), as well as to replicate the look that could be found on the YouTube uploads.

The video features: haloing, off looking colours, noise, rainbowing, and uneven left-right borders as well as very low quality audio. These all I've figured out how to do with software I had (avisynth, premiere pro and adobe audition).

Now there is one thing that I couldn't find how to replicate, with it being the: random dropouts and slight warping which most vhs encoded videos suffer from. Is there any way to do that? I also have after effects if that means something. I also resort to this forum for such questions since special effect oriented forums in my experience, aren't as familiar with true vhs looks

also here is the mpg file before compression and resizing

VHS only has about 40 lines of chroma resolution across the entire frame. So you need to blur the chroma a lot more. Something like:

MergeChroma(last, last.BilinearResize(40, height).AddGrainC(0, 10).Spline36Resize(width,height))

Most VHS playback has much stronger and wider halos.

I see, thanks for the avs line, I tried doing the same in premiere pro but it looked very wrong

That was probably a bit strong on the chroma noise. Try 5 instead of 10.

Thank you jagabo. It really ruins the chroma res very well
