Crate’s VHS Master is built on a sophisticated signal-processing engine that simulates the actual real-world journey of an analog video signal.
This After Effets and Premiere Pro plugin recreates the warmth, grit, and instability of physical VHS with astonishing accuracy. You can use Crates VHS Master to transform any video into a stylish, aesthetic and trendy video that looks like it's from the 80's.
You can create realistic VHS effects in Premiere Pro and After Effects using the Crates VHS Master plugin. Simply apply it to your videos, and choose from one of 15+ presets, ranging from clean looks to degraded corrupted tapes.
Whether you need an archival news video from 1992 or a corrupted "found footage" nightmare, our preset library has you covered.
The VHS Master presets showcase the diverse range of looks you can achieve with the parameters available.
Granular Noise, Distortion, and Modulation
For the artists who need total creative control, VHS Master offers a deep-dive into analog imperfections.
Fine-tune Headswitch Spikes, Splotch Noise, and Tracking Noise to match the specific "wear and tear" of your imaginary tape.
Use Flagging, Vertical Shake, and Micro Warps to simulate a struggling VCR mechanism.
Shape the final output with Sharpness, Brightness, and Contrast sliders that react realistically to the degraded signal.
Crates VHS Master is a native, GPU-accelerated plugin built for the speed of modern production.
The plugin works in real-time within your Premiere Pro or After Effects timeline.
Adjust Scanlines, Samples, and Signal Blur on the fly without breaking your creative flow. It’s the highest quality simulation paired with the fastest possible performance.
Crate's Star Flare is fully GPU-accelerated, providing near-instant feedback as you tweak your settings
Crate's Star Flare works great with Crates Easy Glow applied afterwards, creating a phenomenal photorealistic bloom overlay.
Most plugins use digital "pixel sorting" to simulate glitches, or replicate the look by approximating various filters such as stacked blurs and sharpen effects. VHS Master uses a unique emulation of the real-world processes in the encoding and decoding of a physical tape.
Use the Crates VHS Master plugin in tandem with our free plugins included in the ProductionCrate plugins collection.

Crates VHS Master works in Premiere Pro, so you can apply classic VHS filters to your long-form videos for any purpose. You can apply it directly to your footage, or add it to an adjustment layer so that everything beneath is passed through the filter.
The Modulation parameters allow you to define the spatial variations of distortion and noise intensity, making it easy to create corrupted streaks across the screen.
Modify the scale, speed and contrast of the noise for unlimited control over the look of your corrupted VHS tapes.
