ntsc-rs is a free and open source video effect that accurately emulates analog television and VHS artifacts.
Other popular effects draw attention to the appearance of VHS tapes using simple color lookup tables and overlays. ntsc-rs uses algorithms that model how NTSC transmission and VHS encoding actually work, based on algorithms developed in composite-video-simulator, zhuker/ntsc and ntscQT.
ntsc-rs is written in Rust and is multithreaded and accelerated by SIMD. Unlike similar effects such as ntscQT, it can run in real time at much higher resolutions than actual NTSC images.
ntsc-rs is available not only as a standalone and web application, but also as a plugin for After Effects, Premiere and all OpenFX compatible software. This includes DaVinci Resolve, Hitfilm and Vegas.
