Movie look suggestion: VHS

I would like to suggest a new Movie Look template for MAGIX.

Currently, there are several Movie Looks available, such as the 16mm film look. It would be great to also have a VHS-style Movie Look added to the collection. This kind of effect is quite popular and would likely be widely used by many creators.

For example, similar VHS effects can already be created in CapCut, as shown in this YouTube video:

Would it be possible for MAGIX to develop a built-in VHS Movie Look template like this? It would make it much easier for users to achieve this retro style without needing to manually recreate the effect.

Hi

In addition to @Alwyn's comment, which I agree with , there are many different sources of video overlays/green screen effects which simulate the VHS artefacts and noise available from sites such as PixaBay, Pexels and many others, some free othere for a small fee.

Depending on the version of VPX, you may have access to stock media in the Magix Hub.
