I have been working on a VHS camera, most things are possible to recreate, such as the shaking/ color bleeding/ flickering…
But I have been stuck on the question if its possible to recreate the quality loss of VHS? What I mean by this is making the image less sharp ad more blurred/ washed out. Asswell as a good solution for a pixel effect that doesnt involve Editable Images or any other form of raytracer.
Any help & linking to other post is is very much appreciated!

Thanks for reading my post and I hope you have a good day or night!
You could do something with ViewportFrames with UIGradients and color corrections, but it wouldn’t look exactly like what you’re looking for (i.e. get multiple images of the same scene but with modified effects and combine them by stacking them and making some parts of each image visible with the UIGradients). The viewport frames could also reduce the resolution which might add to the effect.
Getting the exact effect without a shader or a custom renderer probably isn’t possible.
The images look like they have adjusted contrast and saturation, so it would be useful for that.
You can also add horizontal color variation bars by having one of the viewport frames of the same scene use a different color with ColorCorrectionEffect.TintColor.
Can’t you just have a few grayscale images of jpg compression artifacts and load them above your actual image in a semi-transparent state(so they blend together)?
