Description
'VHS Direct-To-Video Look' degrades clean imagery into a soft, low-resolution analog video finish with scanlines, tracking noise, chromatic bleed, and slightly smeared edges. It favors murky contrast, neon-magenta and blue casts, tape grain, and worn home-video artifacts for a gritty 1980s/1990s rental-era feel.
