What are /r/analog_horror's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Still do your research for the best set up for you— but this video helped me. The signal flow is basic and he includes links and clearly shows the items he’s using- all off Amazon all for 40-60 bucks ( not including crt tv and vcr)

Now I ordered an hdmi to rca converter that said it would do pal and ntsc, but it was rated for different specs and didn’t work. In that case, do a return and reorder from a different seller. Just to help save you the headache if thinking you messed up when it’s just a machine not working properly on you region specific hardware.

Ps-if you’re using equipment that was sold in USA, for American ntsc broadcasts, this was the adapter that worked for me.

Cool, 100% recommend Davinci.

I have been video editing for a while, but picked up Davinci resolve in the last 2 years or so (previously I used Premiere Pro).

If you need any help if you decide to use Resolve just message me and I can point you in the right direction for tutorials and such like.

So there are 3 clips I used from real footage (the weather, the guy with microphones around him, and the news anchor). I made the Spinning globe in 3d space, wrapped an image of the world map round a sphere basically and messed around with the text etc. The science report I made too, I just got super lucky with the right type of music for that. I dropped all the elements in a composition and it worked out pretty good.

There is a ton of footage on archive.org for things like news reports - what I found is that people basically digitise old VHS tapes they recorded years ago and upload them. So those 3 clips came from some guy/girl uploading 40 mins worth of recorded VHS footage in like 1990.

For actually making the compositions and my editing I use Davinci Resolve 17. Its free (but there is a paid version that unlocks some additional things). You could probably do most of what I did with the free version. There are a lot of resources and tutorials for Davinci but not specific to Analog Horror.

I recommend Davinci Resolve 17. It's free. Incredibly powerful.

The free version does have limitations in terms of GPU acceleration and max output resolutions (max is 1080 in free version), but, that's prob not going to matter when we're talking VHS output ;)

There are some limitations in the effects library as well.

But, if you upgrade to the paid version which is a 1 time payment of around 250-300 dollars I think it removes those limitations. It's a persistent license too, so now subscription model like Adobe and now upgrade cost each time there's a new major release.

There is a good YT community for tutorials (MrAlexTech is a good place to start), plus Black Magic Design that make the software have just released (as in the last couple of days) new training videos and material to practice with.

Download link for the free version is on this page: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/

There are a couple of subreddits and discord servers if you need any help too.

canva.com has free assets

veed.io (has watermarks) has vhs, glitch and some cool effects that automatically puts to the vid but free version only allows max 50mb vids

audacity for sound design and editing them with effects

natural readers for voice if you find good ones

maybe voices from uberduck

youtube has audio library in its creator studio that you can use for some music if its like local58 music or something
