UPDATE:
Seeing a lot of comments about the DVD Process being unnecessary! While it does work, there are other simplified methods. Here's some info I've gathered:
- Bottom line: You need some device to play your final clean video that will attach to your VCR. So "X device" ----> s-video or composite to VCR. X device = A converter box, a PS3, a Wii, etc.
- You can also do this with a PC: such as an HDMI to RCA converter. Also a PCIe card that outputs S-VIDEO or composite straight to the VCR. I don't like this PC method in general because one time I did it and it produced literal "off-colored" results. But people have sworn by it and I think it's worth a shot.
I've also read in the comments about finishing in 60fps. This happens AFTER you capture the VHS video as it automatically comes in at 29.97. But the idea is to "deinterlace" your VHS capture and double the frame rate which gives a smoother look. The problem is RUclips doesn't read this "deinterlaced" footage unless there's more steps. Here's a tutorial I used on how to do it that maybe some of you will understand: ruclips.net/video/sn_TDa9zY1c/видео.html
I do have a question. Is there a reason you haven’t went with the FireWire route? I also love analog video and collect camcorders so while this video was interesting just wanted to know your thoughts on the method.
@@clarksters88 Not sure about the "firewire method" but there's a section in the video about using old camcorders. I used to do that all the time. I'd connect my analog camera into my capture card via composite (different from the one mentioned) and that would be connected to a firewire input PCIe card in my comp. But as I did more GFX and VFX, it was hard to make those composited elements appear VHS, and with lengthy import times (3hrs of shooting = 3hrs of importing) I moved away from it.
@@skycorphomevideo I got it. I was referring to using a Digital8 or DV camcorder to do direct analog to video bypassing
Just to clarify, the 59.94 framerate is only discarded by RUclips if you upload in 480p. RUclips heavily compresses 480p video to conserve space and likewise halves the frame rate for the same reason. Like I mentioned in the previous comment, I assume you capture natively in 1080p in that Hauppauge software. I used to use the same software with my old PVR and it also automatically deinterlaced the footage. That Hauppauge auto deinterlace resulting in the framerate being cut in half and really noticeable aliasing. If your capture was interlaced, you wouldn't get that jagged artifacting on diagonal lines.
In short, it's not a matter RUclips being able to read the deinterlace itself, but you'd have to capture at 480i in VirtualDub to manually deinterlace the footage with Yadif (also in VirtualDub) instead of letting the Hauppauge capture software do it automatically, and then resize it to 1080p in Premiere or Vegas to keep the double the frame rate visible on RUclips. Both options deinterlace the footage, but to make it smoother and have little aliasing you'd have to change your entire capture setup and process from the start. I think your Hauppauge should be compatible with either VirtualDub 1.9.11 or VirtualDub 2 if for some reason you wanted to test any of this out.
Didn't read too long 😎
Back then: How can we improve the quality?
Today: How can we deteriorate the quality?
Ok, all jokes aside. I love it!
Exactly what I'm thinking 😂

That Sounds So Lound.
Awesome. Just called my step sister.
When’s the video coming out.
I always thought your stuff looked more authentic then other mock VHS channels. Respect for the dedication!
What I noticed in a Ton of other peoples tutorials is leaving the vhs quality in 16:9 or they overdo the quality, which drives me nuts cuz I’m a sucker for making things as authentic as possible
VHS nostalgia to the max! But not betamax! *cheesy laugh*
And I had always thought he was just an actor. He is an amazing writer and editor as well. Too bad the RUclips algorithm has kind of screwed over his channel lately.
It’s because ((RUclips)) f*cking sucks.
It's coming back

@@brucewillis542Yup, the algorithm blessed me two days ago, and I can't get enough.
Please never stop making videos this gives me so much joy it’s unexplainable
2:20 BROOOO 💀💀💀💀💀💀
See I KNEW there was so much effort in achieving that legit VHS look.
Still props to you guys for having the style of editing, camera work, and SFX that is so on point for the era.
Thanks for the tutorial and I hope it helps other RUclips creators out there too!
WELL IN 1985 VCRS WERE 200 TO 400 DOLLARS IN STORES ❤
To make a totally digital VHS look and do it right, you have to separate the signal out not into RGB, but a color space that has the luminance separate from the two channels that encode the color. You have to limit these at significantly different bandwidths in comparision to each other and get the frequence response curves right then you have to throw in the right amount of noise for each component then thrown in some typical time-base error at the end. Also SVHS had greater resolution only in the lumincance while the color part had the same low resolution that VHS did, which is why the colors bled so badly on both formats.
@@gonelucid Just saying, if you want to do it digitally without using real VHS, you need to limit the bandwidth of the luminance to below 3 MHz and the color around 300 KHz and introduce the right amount of noise in each and the right amount of random time base error. A lot of people will just cut the resolution in RGB space then add some noise and artifacts and the luminance will have roughly the right amount of resolution compared to VHS but the color part of the signal will have way more resolution than VHS
@@3Cr15w311there's ntscqt that similates all sorts of ntsc vhs artifacts
They understand the 80s better
Analog NTSC video (such as from VHS) is actually 59.94 interlaced fields per second. Most video editors de-interlace it to 29.97 frames per second, which loses half of the motion smoothness, but with the right software you can convert it to 59.94 frames per second (close enough that RUclips recognizes it as 60fps). See the video "How to convert VHS videotape to 60p digital video (NTSC)" for one way of doing it.
Been getting a lot of comments like this. Had no clue. Thank you for actually pointing me to a place to start! Hopefully I can get that smoothness in the new videos
Finally someone who actually knows how video works! Regarding the deinterlacing, I just deinterlace interlaced videos using Handbrake and it works just fine.
What about PAL VHS?
If you just shoot 60 progressive it's good enough. You'll end up with 60i in the end
@@bobdole57 but isn't PAL VHS Standard like 50i or smth? I know there were some differences.
The presentation is just pure 90s nostalgia
I found this channel recently and really appreciated your videos. Knowing now how much work you go through to get that PERFECT VHS look helps me appreciate them all the more! Thanks!
Even when you explain your behind the scenes process, you can’t help but be your darkly humorous self.
And that’s why we love you.

This... is... ART. Plus, you're sharing your methods with the community. Joel Haver did something similar with his unique rotoscoping, and in turn, a bunch of new talented creators popped up thanks to him.
I hope you have the same effect. I'm excited to see a bunch of new creators diving into that nostalgic VHS feel. Much respect man.
Finally a thumbnail that isn't misleading, you have my respects. And thank you!
comments are gone but i think it should come back in like a few days. it happened with me after getting hacked and i was sure they were just completely gone, since everyone was also talking about the comments being removed, but after a while they all came back which was a very nice surprise
Oof
I had no idea you watched skycorp too!

Yoooo
Truly a great video showing your Computer to DVD To VHS to Computer process! Now please let me out of your basement.

I had a feeling this was what you were doing. You can tell the difference between a filter and a real VHS. Going that extra mile is real dedication.
I've been crying uncontrollably for the past few days, now I can finally stop.
Stop being such an emotional wreck.
i hope youre feeling amazing now❤:)

What happened?
@@user-vi4xy1jw7e his account got hacked for a brief period of time. All his videos were set to private. And the channel name changed to "TeslaReal" to sell you some crypto scam.
@@user-vi4xy1jw7e their channel got hacked or something. All the videos were privated and the name changed to The Tesla. There was an ongoing live stream up. probably to promote some weird crypto scam
this happens quite often, but fortunately this got resolved pretty fast. I've seen this go on for a few weeks on a channel I really liked

It's nothing.

I'll probably never use this editing style, but watched the whole thing because of your 90s style dad humor AND i LOVE that this exists. Amazing man
I love the touch of humor you put in this video all while keeping it very informative. You're an absolute legend. Can't wait for another episode of the wide world of web, perhaps Paul and Neil could work together in the next one xD
I just want to say thank you. Not just for the nostalgia experience, but because you apply yourself to making it through a methodology and procedure that most wouldn't have the time or patience to learn and hone in because it's an outdated technique. I think people should keep learning how stuff like this was done back in the day, and to mix it with modern programs and techniques makes it even more alluring to learn imo. I hope someday I can apply this to my projects. God bless.
So sick
no thats sus
Huge respect for the effort you put in to your process. Seriously.
The ideas this channel has are very clever very creative, well edited, great B-Roll and fun scripts. Their sense of humor appeals to many
This has to be one of the most entertaining tutorials I have seen. Not only was this very informative going into more detail than I anticipated. But you even kept the humor in with all its glory!
This felt like an average video from you guys ignoring the fact it's an actual tutorial. That's how good and entertaining this was!
Jokes aside I REALLY appreciate this! I've been looking to do something like this for a future video and this has saved me the trouble from using those fake filters.
I love the style of VHS
Holy shit the amount of work and editing you put in your videos is insane. So much love for your content!!
I've always wondered how you did this so good. Thank you for sharing !
If I wanted to recreate the VHS look for a project, I would always use this method, although I recently found a modern way of recording the media to VHS by dragging the video file into a flash drive and plug that into a Blu-Ray player, then connect Composite or S-Video out of your Blu-ray player (if it supports it, mine does) and into the VCR. If you don't want to worry about DVD compression, try my method! It looks a lot cleaner (and 60p video files record perfectly onto VHS)!
Been getting a lot of recommendations to forego DVD for X method, and shoot 60p to get 60i VHS. Can't wait to try it out, thanks for the input
@@skycorphomevideo You're welcome!
or any PC or video card that has a video_out miniDIN connector. y'know.
Now much money did it cost you to do?
The editing for this video on editing was just 🤌
That explains why the effect is flawless. Amazing.
That transition at the beginning from hd to vhs was flawless
feel like a dick saying this but that transition would be really simple to recreate
2:43 🤨😂
Exactly what's bro doing??
Bro got lil excited💀
I figured it couldn't have been a filter. Love that this video is still in the format of a 90s early 00s instructional lol very meta
Funny how anything old always looks, sounds or feels better. Film, VHS, Vinyl, cassette tapes etc... love it.
This video is really weird, it's got skycorp humor but it's got actual information in it.
also thank you for this, you're one of the most underrated creators on the platform
Dudeeee yessss! Thank you for doing this. I've been blown away by your vids for years. This is so sick to be able to see how you make them!
2:11 def not p*** 💀
Very cool! I could tell you guys used real VHS tapes since the beginning, your commitment seriously pays off. There's actually a better way that I've used a few times before of getting the video footage into the VCR. You can buy a cheap PCI card with composite output so you can plug your computer directly into your VCR and just have it setup as a second monitor.
This is definitely still a great tutorial for many other people who would want to create their own videos with this format. Keep up the great work!
I was looking for this comment! The extra DVD step definitely seems unnecessary 😅
Please tell me more
@@Dave102693 Basically it just omits the DVD step entirely at 0:40 and goes straight to the VHS step of recording the video directly from the computer at 0:46
I was trying that with 8800 GTX and SVideo but got yellow tint. Do you need to make some changes in NVidia control panel, like PAL/NTSC etc? I am getting couple PAL options there (I am based in Europe FYI)
@@rzober89biologia Oh interesting, that's a good question. I've only used some old offbrand card with composite built in, so I'm not sure. I know there's options in the Nvidia control panel though to adjust the color, under "desktop color settings". That might help solve your problem, unless it's something else. I'm on NTSC 60hz so I use that, I think PAL is 50hz so if there's an option to switch to 50hz that might be good too.
I want to see a Joel Haver/SkyCorp collaboration video based solely on the fact that they both put out a tutorial for the thing that made them famous.
6:10 AAAARGH not the high pitched CRT flyback transformer noise.
Well, good to know my ears are still working.
I love this channel
Woah, an actual guide, and not some weird art project. I’ll have to try putting the most random videos on VHS.
I love that your process is decetntly length yet still so authentic and moderately straightforward. Like, it takes geuine effort. I wonder if this video was made out of spite of those people that make cheesey ass vhs filters on their videos and you're like "THERE. NOW YOU KNOW HOW TO DO IT THE *RIGHT* WAY"
Yeah the bundled vhs filters look so bad and low effort, especially when you know what actual vhs quality used to look like
Honestly the audio portion talking about EQ makes this very informative for producers and audio engineers
1:01 yeah, if your VCR is S-VHS capable, otherwise you'll have to get that yellow composite cable
I'd like to give a _huge_ "Welcome Back" to my favorite RUclips channel! And congrats on 200K subs!

Woah! I used to do some vhs filming back when that was the norm, and it's amazing that you've managed to bridge modern and retro!
I have got addicted to your videos since I found this channel a few weeks ago. Appreciate your passion and creativity. Sky Corp is a hidden gem in RUclips
These are some awesome tips! One method I like to use is to hook up my PS3 to a vcr via composite, transfer video to a USB, plug USB in ps3 and record directly to the video tape. This helps save time on burning dvd's and saves blank discs.
Love the fact you guys are keeping the 90s alive with these videos. Keep up the good work!
Your sense of humor is spot on... 😃😁🤣👍🖖
Color me impressed, I came to see your take on VHS filters and instead got "capture the video to an actual tape". Love the dedication to authenticity!
This is one of the best channels I've ever came across randomly and this video is yet another example. I love the tutorial with the usual Skycorp humour. Congrats on 200k subs!
this is actually incredibly cool to see. i’ve been wondering for years how you make the videos look the way they do.
Just found your channel man and what a treat. It’s mind blowing how many little jokes you fit into every second 😂
Respect. This is so much better than simply faking it with filters.
I just discover this channel a week ago and i already watched all the videos almost in a row, I think it's no coincidence that I'm right in the middle of a project where I'm editing and I have to transfer the video to a VHS to achieve this and i admire to see your process, your videos really inspire me man, definitely one of the best things I found this year. Btw I use an HDMI to AV converter to transfer the video to the VCR and it has been working great for me.
Thanks SkyCorp, very cool
Ah yes, another man of culture who does everything the long way. Many props. I made my own custom filters in Adobe Premier. But this... you can't beat this lol. Awesome!
This is the best tutorial I've ever seen on RUclips.
This tutorial somehow balanced your style of comedy while also being legitimately useful, wonderful work! I’m eager to try this method for myself to make my own retro content.
Glad you’re back but shame all the comments got wiped
Checked just to make sure, it seems like only this videos comments got impacted, for the rest, I see comments from months ago so luckily they didn't seem to catch the reset
So this guy has been doing the editing the whole time.. awesome sauce keep up the Epic working man
That's fantastic knowing that you do it in an old skool manner rather than just a simple filter.
Good to see you back! Awesome thing to wake up to!
Thanks for sharing your process with us! Big respect for not just keeping it some kind of "trade secret" like a lot of other content creators might do. Stay rad!
I love this guy and this channel.
Man your work is just crazy good!
This looks like such fun you have. I always wondered if you really had it on VHS. Filters never look real and just repeat the same effect over and over. Real tapes were never like that. Fantastic video! Makes me nostalgic remembering High School and editing in Analog end point to end point. Ahh, the memories of youth 30+ years ago.
The HD-ness is cursed
I love how its a genuine tutorial with jokes that fits the vibe of the channel
You have inspired me in so many ways, thank you so much for showing your passion!! 💖✨
I can't believe Roger was the mastermind of Skycorp Ltd.
But in all seriousness, It's great to see that there's serious commitment in really replicating that aesthetic. Very cool.
It all makes sense when we think about it
Glad to see the channel back
I currently don't do video production but I do love a well constructed how to guide video. Even though I won't be trying this technique anytime soon, I feel like I know how to, if needed.
Great job, and funny as usual.
This video right here is what singlehandedly made me want to begin making VHS styled videos.
Granted, I had to begin with filters as he is not wrong in saying that all this extra equipment takes a lot more time, money and effort (hell I still don't even have half the equipment he used here) but it's fun regardless.
Thank you SkyCorp Home Video, thank you.
Thank you for your effort and time
definitely your work inspire me
now i can record the video with my stepsister
good bless you mad lad
everybody must protect him at all cost
Saw another comment, but +1 on the PS3 method. MPEG2 has really strong compression blocking meaning you're losing double the quality by using DVD as an intermediary, plus you have to constantly buy DVD's to burn to. That Hauppauge Capture Software also compresses it further and puts a horrible deinterlace filter on it resulting in really noticeable aliasing.
This isn't a bad thing though. Most people don't put that much thought or effort into transferring VHS tapes anyway, so the majority of VHS sourced videos on RUclips look pretty poor, meaning your method exactly replicates that style. If you valued quality in every step, you'd probably lose that same atmosphere and the clarity would probably make the digital camera footage and graphics more noticeable as a result. Amazing how small choices can have huge effects on how something looks.
I gotta admit, vhs quality is pretty charming.
Thank You, Ive made videos with both and I agree, the actaul analog footage is the way to go. I even tried really hard to make my own filter with layers built into it and its not bad but Idk if I will go that route again in the future. Its great to finally see something like this. love your vids man.
