Same night plate, split on a diagonal: clean digital on the left, VHS cassette wear on the right
Drop the money shot 01-hero-look.jpg 3840 × 2160 · 16:9 · static diagonal split

One frame. Clean plate on the left, VHS on the right. Not a slider.

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.

£34.99One payment. Commercial license. Owner updates included.

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.

Same portrait with Betamax cassette wear applied
Tape side 10-music.jpg 3840 × 2160 · 16:9 · pixel-locked to 02

Same frame, Betamax on. Readable subject. Tracking and chroma should read at web size.

Clean unprocessed portrait, same framing as the tape side
Clean side 02-clean.jpg 3840 × 2160 · 16:9 · identical camera to the tape side

The same still with no OFX. A face with a hard digital edge so the compare is obvious.

Same cave plate with VHS analog tape applied
Tape side 03-tape.jpg 3840 × 2160 · 16:9 · pixel-locked to cave-before

Same cave, VHS on. Sea still readable. Selling-strength, not maxed-out mush.

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.

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 13-woods.jpg 3840 × 2160 · 16:9

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
Live plate 12-plate.jpg 3840 × 2160 · 16:9

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.

DaVinci Resolve Inspector with the VHS OFX controls visible
In Resolve 08-inspector.jpg 1600 × 1200 · 4:3

Screenshot of the Inspector with VHS selected. Crop tight on the plugin, not the whole UI. Dark Resolve theme. Knob names must be readable at 800px wide. Optional extra: 09-timeline.jpg, 21:9, Color or Edit page with the OFX on a clip and the viewer showing the look.

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.
