## What is REC?

The only VHS camera app that processes footage the way VHS actually worked. Not a filter on top of your video. A full analog signal chain underneath it. The color bleed is real. The tracking noise is real. The tape warble in the audio is real. 80 profiles. All of it running in real time on your phone.

80 PROFILES. FIND YOUR LOOK.

80 profiles across eight collections — from subtle tape warmth to severe damage. Find one that fits or adjust over 70 parameters to build your own look.

- Base: subtle tape warmth
- Archive: aged, dusty, liminal spaces
- Broadcast: TV and cable
- Drift: tracking errors, timebase wobble
- Chroma: color bleed, phase shifts
- Damage: dropouts, tears, glitches
- Signature: one-of-a-kind crafted looks
- Random: roll the dice

70+ PARAMETERS. SHAPE THE SIGNAL.

Go deeper than profiles. Shape the signal with over 70 parameters across the entire VHS pipeline.

- Composite video simulation
- Luma and chroma processing
- Tracking and head switching noise
- Tape wear and dropouts

Every profile is a starting point. Make it yours.
