About the Pack
The pack contains thirty plus video assets of Vaporwave and Synthwave video clips. Most of the assets are loopable elements and backgrounds, but there are also some Luma mattes and extra images included.
As mentioned, all of the video clips are loopable, so feel free to line up multiple copies of the same clip in your timeline, if you need them to extend further.
Tips and Accessible Effects
You can create even more variety with the pack by applying a few effects to the video clips. Use the Hue & Saturation effect on a clip and adjust the Master Hue Dial to quickly change the color palette.
Flip or mirror the footage to change the direction of the movement in the clip. Likewise, you can also Time-Reverse clips to have them loop backwards.
Use the included Luma matte loops to add additional animation to backgrounds or elements.
Add a VHS Look
I definitely recommend adding a VHS look to the retro elements for a more genuine aesthetic. Check out our tutorial for How to Create the VHS Look in Premiere Pro, which includes a free VHS preset.
