What does the VHS effect do?

It recreates the look of a worn VHS tape: soft focus, chroma bleeding at edges, tape noise, faded colors, subtle scanlines, and darkened corners.

Can I make the effect more subtle?

Yes — the strength slider blends the effect with your original footage. Around 60–70% gives a hint of retro without overwhelming the image.

Yes. Drop in a photo and the same presets apply as a still — grain, scanlines, color fade and all.

On videos, yes — grain and tape noise flicker frame to frame like real analog media.
