From there, manually resize the height of your adjustment layer to the size you want the tape wrinkle to be. Uncheck the Uniform Scale option, and set the Scale Height to 1000. In order to create the classic Tape Wrinkle Effect, we need to create a new adjustment layer. Finally, increase the Scale setting on the Transform Effect to 101В to ensure we donвЂ™t seeВ any black edges. ItвЂ™s enough to give us the VHS shake we want. This will cause the footage to move randomly seven times per second, by two pixels. To do that, hold Alt + Click on the Position stopwatch (hold Option + Click on Mac.) This will open up the Expression Editor for Transform Position. We want to animate the Transform Position. First, create an adjustment layer above all of your other layers (except for the 4:3 overlay, if you are using one.) Next, apply the TransformВ Effect. In After Effects, itвЂ™s easy to add some subtle вЂњVHS shakeвЂќ to our footage using Expressions. Just place this clip over your footage, set the blending mode to Overlay, then adjust the opacity as necessary. The second option is to use a VHS or film grain overlayВ (I included one in the project file). This can yield great вЂњfilmicвЂќ results when set to a low value. The first is using After EffectsвЂ™s built-in Noise effect. I recommend a frame size of 1440Г—1080,В if you use this method.ДЇor adding noise to your footage, you haveВ a few options. However, you can also adjust theВ Composition settings to be 4:3. My preferred method is to use a 4:3 image overlayВ on top of 16:9 footage. If you want an authentic VHS look, youвЂ™ll need to set the aspect ratio to 4:3. Finally, we will add back in some over-the-top sharpening with the Unsharp Mask effect. This creates a subtle RGB split appearance. Next, we will use two instances of the Channel Blur effect to blur the Red channel vertically and the Blue channel horizontally. We can use Lumetri Color toВ increaseВ the contrast,В fade the black levels, and decrease the image sharpness. First, create an adjustment layer, and then apply Lumetri Color. To create our initial VHS look, weвЂ™re going to use a combination of three effects: Lumetri Color, Channel Blur, and Unsharp Mask.
