**ntsc-rs** is a video effect which emulates NTSC and VHS video artifacts. It can be used as an After Effects, Premiere, or OpenFX plugin, or as a standalone application.
## Download and Install
The latest version of ntsc-rs can be downloaded from [the releases page](https://github.com/valadaptive/ntsc-rs/releases).
After downloading, [read the documentation for how to run it](https://ntsc.rs/docs/standalone-installation/). In particular, ntsc-rs will not work properly on Linux unless you install all of the GStreamer packages listed in the documentation.
## More information
ntsc-rs is a rough Rust port of [ntscqt](https://github.com/JargeZ/ntscqt), a PyQt-based GUI for [ntsc](https://github.com/zhuker/ntsc), itself a Python port of [composite-video-simulator](https://github.com/joncampbell123/composite-video-simulator). Reimplementing the image processing in multithreaded Rust allows it to run at (mostly) real-time speeds.
It's not an exact port--some processing passes have visibly different results, and some new ones have been added.
