Every VHS Nostalgia update, in one place. The signal chain stays the same — these releases add speed, control and authenticity. Still 100% local and private.
- v1.3July 2026
macOS & Windows · DaVinci Resolve (free version supported)
Up to 3× faster
The processing pipeline has been rebuilt from the ground up. Playback is now real-time on 1080p timelines (about 44 fps) and roughly 3× faster in 4K, without render caching in most projects.
New: Quick Look controls
Five macro sliders at the top of the plugin (Tape Wear, Picture Noise, Color Bleed, Wobble, Sharpen) let you push any preset further, or dial it back, in one move. They modulate the look without ever touching your fine-tuned settings, and they are keyframable.
New: PAL mode (576 lines)
European tapes finally get their authentic line count. Pick "576 lines (PAL)" in Processing Resolution for the exact artifact scale of a PAL VHS.
Smarter tape counter
The OSD counter and the blinking REC dot now follow your clip's real frame rate (24, 25 or 30 fps): one counter second equals one real second. You can still set the rate manually if you prefer a stylized counter.
Better on-screen text
Accented characters now render correctly in captions ("ÉTÉ 94", "NOËL 1989"), and the VCR pixel font gains the comma, parentheses and ampersand.
Updating from v1.2
Download the new zip, replace your old VHS Nostalgia ofx.bundle with the new one, then restart DaVinci Resolve. All your existing presets and projects load unchanged.
Be kind, rewind.
Install the plugin, pick a preset, and watch today's footage become a tape from another era.
