Includes free VHS effect presets!<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;m a big fan of the VHS look. This nostalgic style was one of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/blog\/trends\/2019-creative-trends\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">2019&#8217;s biggest creative trends<\/a>, and it remains just as popular today.<\/p>\n<p>Most VHS look tutorials rely on After Effects, and then sending your footage back into Premiere Pro. If you&#8217;re not experienced with After Effects \u2014 or are just in a hurry \u2014 this can slow your workflow. However, in this tutorial, I&#8217;ll show you how to create a VHS-inspired look entirely using Premiere Pro. We&#8217;ll even look at how we can add imperfections to the footage that would usually require work in After Effects.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it&#8217;s important to note: This is not a VHS overlay, meaning you won&#8217;t be placing a clip on top of your footage, rather, we&#8217;re going to learn how to manipulate the image you&#8217;ve shot. This will give you more room to tweak the image in a much more intricate way that&#8217;s meant to work closer with the information and colors in your shot.<\/p>\n<p>Ready to see the world in VHS?

Channel Blur gives the footage that recognizable VHS appearance. It works very similar to a Gaussian Blur, but it allows us to blur each color channel individually (red, green, and blue.) Because we can blur single color channels, this allows us to &#8220;bleed&#8221; colors together and push them &#8220;outside of the lines.&#8221; Use multiple copies of Channel Blur, set to<em> different <\/em>Blur Dimensions, to customize the look even more.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"unsharp-mask\">Unsharp Mask<\/h3>\n<p>Using the <strong>Unsharp Mask<\/strong> effect, we can add over-exaggerated contrast to the edges and fine details of our footage.

Adjust the <strong>Radius<\/strong> setting to dial-in your desired look.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"noise-and-grain\">Noise and Grain<\/h3>\n<p>For adding noise to your footage, you have two options.

The second option is to use a VHS or film grain overlay. (I included one in the project file.) Just place this clip over your footage, set the blending mode to <strong>Overlay<\/strong>, then adjust the opacity, as necessary.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"43-aspect-ratio\">4:3 Aspect Ratio<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_108820\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-108820\" class=\"wp-image-108820 size-full\" title=\"How to Create the VHS Look in Premiere Pro + Free VHS Effect Presets \u2014 Aspect Ratio\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/VHS-Look-4x3-Aspect-Ratio.jpg\" alt=\"How to Create the VHS Look in Premiere Pro + Free VHS Effect Presets \u2014 Aspect Ratio\" width=\"755\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/VHS-Look-4x3-Aspect-Ratio.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/VHS-Look-4x3-Aspect-Ratio.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/VHS-Look-4x3-Aspect-Ratio.jpg?resize=277,156 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/VHS-Look-4x3-Aspect-Ratio.jpg?resize=359,202 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/VHS-Look-4x3-Aspect-Ratio.jpg?resize=543,306 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/VHS-Look-4x3-Aspect-Ratio.jpg?resize=560,315 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/VHS-Look-4x3-Aspect-Ratio.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-108820\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Choosing the right aspect ratio is essential to getting that authentic VHS look.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>If you want an authentic VHS look, you&#8217;ll need to set the aspect ratio to 4:3.
