Just a developers note here, as a common theme to the comments is that VHS didn't look this bad, or that it is too exaggerated.  The VHS plug-in has LOTS of presets that are clean, including S-VHS &amp; 3/4" U-Matic.  Any and all sections (color, noise, damage, LUT) to be turned off or adjusted individually. However, most people tend to use heavy damage settings.  Intentionally "made to be VHS heavy" are the transitions, as a "crash record" on to a VHS tape does completely lose sync, throwing everything in the image off for a second or so. Those are mostly the effects where we used the heavy damaged tape machines. The plain/default VHS setting uses a fairly "clean" VHS noise print.  I'm happy to answer any other questions on it. Thanks for stopping by, Tom!
