How to VHS & VCR Effect - After Effects Tutorial

In this After Effects motion graphic tutorial we are going to look at how to create a VHS or VCR effect in After Effects. This utilizes a few simple effectors built into After Effects that really help bring the old VHS tape footage back into the modern age through image processing.

PROTIP: After you are done, precomp the file and add a fully black background behind the layer to really show off the effect! We did it in the video but didn't mention it!

List of effects:
