VHS
Simulate degraded VHS tape playback — tracking errors, color bleed, and horizontal noise lines for authentic analog horror aesthetics.
About this effect
VHS is the most comprehensive analog degradation effect in GlitchForge. It combines tracking-line distortions (those dancing horizontal bars at the bottom of worn tapes), color channel bleed that smears edges, and subtle noise for a complete degraded-tape look.
Control tracking intensity and color bleed amount separately. The effect is animated — the tracking lines drift over time, making it perfect for video stills and GIF exports. Stack with Grain and Scanlines for maximum analog decay.
