I've been trying to come up with authentic-looking VHS effect

With some more effects to make it more believable

My family has hundreds of homemade movies on VHS and they look nothing like the picture you've created. That's more of a vaporwave-equse, fleeting childhood, instagram filtered version of what VHS looked like.

Really, the quality of the image was one that was of a lower resolution, but was blown up to match the resolution of the display it was being displayed on.
That, and the affect you've superimposed is attempting to emulate the distortion of the CRT in the tv, not the format of the media itself.

Everything was just lower resolution, and not super saturated, really.

OK, thanks for the feedback.

You see, if your video was a home tape and wasn't copied over and over, then of course it would have normal, or even faded colors. Pic related is another version of it. Home tapes also looked different because home cameras were obviously not as good as Hollywood-grade ones.


However, if the tape was overwritten several times, it'd start producing various artifacts. Chroma layer was very easy to mess up. When it was, the color often became oversaturated.

I was going more for that kind of look. But I'll keep what you said in mind anyway. I have a folder of screenshots from old shows recorded on VHS. The thing is, they were probably recorded over other stuff, so they have lots of artifacts. I tried to emulate them, that's all.
