Recently, the 90s have come into fashion again, and we’re not just talking about clothes and accessories. Retro has returned to the world of photos and video as well. People are adding past dates to their photos and the VHS effect to videos. So today we decided to dedicate our Movavi Vlog to this topic and show you how to recreate a video of that era yourself.

The typical features of cameras, data storage devices, and TV sets in those days shaped a particular visual style. There’s just no way it could come from any other time! You can instantly recognize the characteristic elements: tilted horizon, jerky zoom, distorted videotape images, stripes, a timecode in the corner.

One more stand-out technical feature of videos from that era is black bars on each side. In the 90s, a 4: 3 aspect ratio was the standard for video recording and TV broadcasts. It was not until the 2000s, with the transition to digital television, that the ratio began to change to today’s 16: 9.

You can add retro effects in several different ways. You can use ready-made presets in your editing program, or you can create the effect yourself. We discuss the second method in detail in our tutorial.
