VHS Textures for Cyberpunk & Surveillance Themes

For a darker, more dystopian look, try applying VHS textures that emulate the grainy, noisy quality of an old surveillance camera. These light and midtone VHS textures are great for creating eerie, cyberpunk-inspired footage, giving your video an analog, retro-futuristic vibe.

Black and White VHS Glitches

For a minimalist, classic look, our black-and-white VHS glitches are a fantastic choice. These work best with darker footage and can be seamlessly blended using lighten or screen modes for a smooth, authentic VHS aesthetic.

Flashy Colored VHS Glitches

Bring a burst of color to your project with red, green, and blue VHS textures and glitches. Perfect for flashy transitions or adding a bit of retro flair, these effects give your footage an unmistakable VHS vibe. They're great for creating dynamic and eye-catching visuals.

Vintage Analog TV Noise and Effects

For true analog nostalgia, our collection also includes vintage copyright warnings, color bars, and auto setup displays. These VHS-inspired elements can be used as backgrounds or transitions, evoking the feel of an old-school television broadcast.
