VHS Blur

Updated: 13 Feb 2025

Add a damaged VHS effect to an image.

Method #

This node creates a damaged VHS effect by blurring the image with a chromatic aberration similar to that of old CRT screens.

Attributes

These properties control the core behaviours of the node.

Parameter	Details
Active	Enables or disables the effect. Disabling the effect means it will no longer compute, so disabling a node when not in use can improve performance.
Blend Amount	Changes the opacity of the new effect over the original image.
Blend Mode (RGB)	Change how the generated effect blends with the parent image RGB.
Blend Mode (Alpha)	Change how the generated effect blends with the parent image alpha.
Blur Scale	How far the blur should push out. This is multiplied by the distance of the pixel from the center of the image.
Chromatic Blur Scale	Scale the effect of the chromatic blur.
Chromatic Intensity Scale	Scale the intensity of the effect.
Noise Amount	How much noise is applied to the image.
Chromatic Bias R	How much the chromatic blur is shifted towards red.
Chromatic Bias G	How much the chromatic blur is shifted towards green.
Chromatic Bias B	How much the chromatic blur is shifted towards blue.

Affect Channels

Toggle which of the RGBA channels are affected by the effect.
