Description:

Have you ever needed a video to look like it was shot on VHS tape? Until now, the only ways to do that were to obtain an actual VCR and tape, or to use expensive plugins that simulate the look of a VHS tape, but not any more! This blend can be used with any video file or Render Layers, as this node setup is completely 100% plug-'n-play. I've even included a file with 3 minutes of VHS noise. (Original video from this guy --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qELSSAspRDI) Everything is free to use for anything, just don't claim the effect as your own. Also included is an example animation using the blend file.

    How do I add this to my logo animation? I've tried everything and when I render, it just ends up grey.

    Sorry about that, I haven't got a notification on this post for your problem :/ Anyways, some things you can try to do are check that your Movie clip is connected, the Brightness/Contrast nodes aren't messed up, and make sure that the included VHS glitch footage is playing correctly and is hooked up to the node tree right.
