VHS Project 3.0: Found Footage Camcorder Template for UE5

Turn your Unreal Engine 5 game into VHS footage. VHS Project 3.0 gives you a ready-to-play first-person camcorder with a full VHS look: soft tape blur, bleeding colours, compression artifacts and static that creeps into the shadows. It's perfect for liminal spaces, backrooms, analog horror and found-footage games.

What's inside

• A layered VHS look: fisheye lens, analog tape signal, sharpening halos, bitrate compression and static that only appears in the dark

• Extra tape damage you can dial in: tracking errors, head-switching noise, wobble and dropouts

• A camcorder player with a handheld feel, 2.5× zoom with motor sound and a refocus blur, and a flashlight you raise and click on

• Sprint with stamina, crouch, headbob, and a camera roll when you whip around

• Breathing, camcorder start-up, footsteps, wind and creepy ambience

• A dark Backrooms demo level with placeable ceiling lamps

Everything runs on Blueprints and post-process materials, with no C++. The main look is controlled from a single parameter collection, so you can go from a clean home video to a destroyed tape in a few clicks.

Setup: set your map's GameMode to BP_FirstPersonGameMode, add a Player Start and hit Play.

Made in Unreal Engine 5.8. Includes a user guide.
