Replying to How can I obtain this VHS effect and what are some workarounds? Has anyone tried something similar?

All the After Effects plugins and Final Cut Pro x plugins look horrific and artificial. Has anyone

used a capture card and recorded the footage onto a VHS tape, via video cassette recorder?

Has anyone been able to successfully do this? This video has that old 90’s look yet it is still

HD and looks clear. Would it be as simple as taking two identical pieces of footage and slightly

lowering the opacity on one of them to replicate this after recapturing it back?? I’m not sure

how this was done?
