VHS is practically dead and gone.
The King of Home Video in the 1980s gave the home user power to watch their favourite movies and videos without having to rely on TV programming.
VHS ruled the roost before it was dethroned by DVD.
In this age of HD, Blu-ray and 4K video, very few people will think of watching a movie or a home video on a VHS player.
VHS players are no longer in production. Almost nobody records a video in the VHS format even if she has a VHS video camera.
The majority of those who had VHS home movies have got them converted to DVDs or other digital formats.
But then the romance with VHS continues. Just as it is with typewriter fonts.
In these days of crisp, digital video, we seem to miss timecodes and the grainy effects and other tape-related ‘mechanical glitches’ associated with VHS.
These ‘annoyances’ from a past era can make your present-day video stand out with a retro VHS look.
The best way to incorporate them into your video is by using royalty free VHS green screen effects.
