Description

Been using Rarevision VHS – Retro 80s Cam for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you record videos that look and sound like they were shot on an old VHS camcorder from the 80s. Pretty cool if you’re into that kind of retro aesthetic.

Here’s what you do: you can record new videos or edit existing ones to add all sorts of VHS-style effects – think tracking lines, color distortion, messed up audio. There’s also a feature where you can change the on-screen date to trick your friends into thinking you built a time machine. And the app’s got a bunch of cool overlays and filters to really make your videos look vintage.

Look, if you’re into making fun, quirky videos to send to friends, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the learning curve is a bit steep and the UI could be more user-friendly – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you want to add some vintage flair to your videos.

Editor Opinion

So here's my honest take on Rarevision VHS - Retro 80s Cam. I've tested a bunch of video editing apps and this one's pretty solid. The retro effects are super convincing and it's got a ton of customization options to make your videos look authentically vintage. And in my experience, it's not the easiest app to use - there's a bit of a learning curve to get the hang of all the features. But once you figure it out, it's a really fun way to add some 80s charm to your videos. I'd say it's a great choice if you're looking to give your content a retro vibe.

The pixels of the glitchy/grainy effect are so consistent that it isn't realistic looking. It also doesn't allow you to remove it. However, you can move it around to different...

This app is perfect for making retro photos and videos. I use it way more than I use my normal camera. The filters are great, but making your own is...
