A full walkthrough of VHS Cut on real footage, in After Effects, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve.
What VHS Cut does
VHS Cut wipes between your two clips with a tracking tear, chroma bleed, and tape noise, like a deck changing tapes. It runs entirely on the GPU as a real After Effects, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve transition, so the preview matches the render.
Drop it between two clips on your timeline and the outgoing shot rolls and distorts into the incoming one. The timing and the look are fully adjustable and keyframable, so you can push the wear or keep it subtle.
