❓ Get started

Note: At the moment, compiled releases are only available for Windows x64. To run on another platform, you must build the project from source yourself (see 🔨 Building from source section)

Download latest release from https://github.com/F33RNI/NTSC-VHS-Renderer/releases/latest
Unzip it and run NTSC-VHS-Renderer-X.X.X-Windows-AMD64.exe
Open a video or image file by dragging it to the GUI or by clicking "File" -> "Open"
On "Render" tab change whatever you want. To render to a file, click the "Render and Save as" button
Enjoy!

🔨 Building from source

Install CMake, Python and other basic building tools

Build NTSC-CRT for your system

Windows example:

git clone https://github.com/LMP88959/NTSC-CRT
cd NTSC-CRT
cmake -B build -DLIVE=off -DVIDEO=on -DCRT_SYSTEM=5
cmake --build build --config Release
move build\Release\ntsc_video.exe build\Release\ntsc_video_vhs.exe
cmake -B build -DLIVE=off -DVIDEO=on -DCRT_SYSTEM=0
cmake --build build --config Release

Download FFmpeg binaries from https://ffmpeg.org/download.html or build them by yourself. NTSC-VHS Renderer uses ffmpeg and ffprobe files
Download BloomEffect source code from https://github.com/yoyoberenguer/BloomEffect/tree/version-1.0.2/BloomEffect

Clone NTSC-VHS Renderer repo:

git clone https://github.com/F33RNI/NTSC-VHS-Renderer
cd NTSC-VHS-Renderer

Create virtual environment and install requirements:

Windows example:

python -m venv venv
venv/Scripts/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Copy NTSC-CRT binaries (ntsc_video and ntsc_video_vhs), ffmpeg binaries (ffmpeg and ffprobe) and BloomEffect source code (into bloom directory: NTSC-VHS-Renderer/bloom/...)
To start NTSC-VHS-Renderer: run python main.py
To build executable: run pyinstaller NTSC-VHS-Renderer.spec. Output files and executable will be in dist/NTSC-VHS-Renderer-VERSION-PLATFORM directory

📝 TODO

Fix output resolution (probably caused by NTSC-CRT)
Test properly
Build for linux
Make it faster
Add rolling shutter effect
