Same night plate, split on a diagonal: clean digital on the left, VHS cassette wear on the right

Clean Tape

Flagship DaVinci Resolve OFX

Tape the render.

Clean footage is easy to ignore. VHS gives CG, plates, and music-video frames the analog damage that makes them feel recorded, found, and finished.

Same frame. Then it sells.

Drag the split. Left is the clean digital plate. Right is the version with cassette age, chroma drift, and tracking bite, the difference clients feel before they can name it.

Customise your look.

Same frame with the First Gen preset: a near-clean tape transfer with soft chroma and a deck clock

Same frame with the VCR Play preset: playback on-screen display, corner brackets, and lifted highlights

Same frame with the Camcorder preset: green CAM 03 burn-in, centred record timecode, and heavy luma grain

Same frame with the Security Cam preset: a full status bar across the top and flat surveillance contrast

Same frame with the Sun Faded preset: warm haze, blown highlights, and lifted blacks

Same frame with the Third Gen preset: chroma drift, tracking damage, and grain across the whole frame

Where it earns the slot.

Use it when clean is the problem: modern footage that needs memory, damage, and a reason to stay in the edit.

Cliffside portrait with analog cassette wear already on

Music videos

The look people mean when they say tape. Performance lighting, night streets, and a modern grade that suddenly feels less disposable.

Golden-hour woods plate with VHS camcorder wear applied

Daylight tape

Camcorder sun, chroma on bark, REC in the corner. The frame gets a point of view instead of just another clean daylight grade.

Live-action cave plate with VHS archival treatment

Plates and archival

Live footage that needs to sit next to old tape, or a present-day interview that should feel like evidence, not capture.

On the clip. In the grade.

Drop the OFX where the shot already lives. Dial tracking, chroma, snow, dropout, and age until the footage stops looking generated and starts feeling recorded.
