Tapework turns the video you already have into authentic analog footage โ€” the way it really looked on VHS tape, an 8mm home projector, or a snowy off-air TV. No stickers, no fake overlays: every effect is physically modeled from how the actual hardware degraded the signal. Pick a look, watch it apply to your clip in real time, and export the result with the effect baked permanently into the file โ€” ready for Reels, TikTok, or your camera roll. 11 HAND-MODELED PRESETS โ€ข VHS Classic โ€” original VHS SP: head-switching, chroma loss, dropout noise โ€ข VHS Long (LP) โ€” degraded chroma, heavier compression artifacts โ€ข VHS EP โ€” the heaviest tape degradation, barely-watchable and proud of it โ€ข Broadcast Snow โ€” off-air analog TV with snow and ghosting โ€ข Broadcast Clean โ€” cable-composite look, minimal artifacts โ€ข B-Movie 16mm โ€” heavy film grain with a warm cast โ€ข B-Movie 8mm โ€” 8mm projector: extra grain, golden warmth โ€ข Hi-Fi VHS โ€” clean luma, only subtle chroma artifacts โ€ข Camcorder โ€” 1990s consumer VHS-C, green-tinted and soft โ€ข Home Video '70s โ€” early-70s broadcast with prominent scanlines โ€ข Home Video '80s โ€” magenta-leaning, oversaturated home tape REAL-TIME, NOT A FILTER SLIDER Everything renders live on the GPU as you scrub. Dial the master Intensity, or open Tweaking to control the individual signal physics โ€” chroma shift and delay, scanlines, head-switching jitter, grain, ringing, vignette, hue and saturation. Save your own combinations as custom presets. EXPORT THAT KEEPS THE LOOK Export up to 4K with the analog effect written into every frame at full quality, with your original audio intact. What you preview is exactly what you get. FREE TO START Use three presets and standard export for free. Upgrade to Pro for all 11 presets, 4K export, no watermark, and every future preset included. WHY IT LOOKS RIGHT Most "VHS" apps paste a semi-transparent PNG over your video. Tapework instead reproduces the analog signal chain โ€” luma/chroma separation, timing errors, tape noise and dropouts โ€” so highlights bloom, colors bleed sideways, and the picture breathes the way real tape does. โ€” Tapework Pro subscription details: โ€ข Tapework Pro (Annual) โ€” auto-renewing subscription, $9.99/year โ€ข Tapework Pro (Lifetime) โ€” one-time purchase, $19.99 Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
