Show HN: VHS Camera – Run your camera or videos through a simulated VHS signal
fotojockovic.com20 points14 comments
VHS Camera is a free browser-based tool for recording video and taking photos with the look of a 1990s camcorder, or applying that look to existing video. It simulates analogue VHS characteristics such as colour bleed, soft detail, tracking noise and tape hiss rather than simply placing a filter over the image. Users can choose among Clean, Dirty and Worn tape settings, adjust processing quality and speed, add a date stamp, and switch between live recording and photo mode. The date and time can be set manually; on live and uploaded video, the clock continues to advance, while a photo keeps the exact setting.
Users can upload MP4, MOV or WebM clips and preview the effect and sound settings before saving the complete video, with its original sound retained unless changed. Tape sound can add hiss, slight wobble, muffled high frequencies and brief dropouts. Videos export as MP4 where supported, or WebM otherwise; photos save as JPG. Processing happens frame by frame on the user’s phone or computer, and neither uploaded footage nor newly captured media is sent to a server. The tool requires no installation, account or sign-up and works in current mobile and desktop browsers with camera access. Settings allow slower devices to trade image detail for smoother playback.
