![]() Hi-8 records a higher resolution of luminance compared to VHS, so that translates to a crisper and sharper image on screen. You could also add a sharpen filter and slowly crank that up to get a more old video-y look. This translates into color not being as saturated as you might see from a larger HD sensor. The old Hi-8 format recorded images in 4:1:1 color space. Now you'll need to do a bit of color correction. Scale up the size to get rid of any letterbox bars. This will give you that very nice 4:3 square-ish shape. The easiest thing to do would be to edit your film in a proper 1080p/24 sequence first, and then drag that entire sequence into a NEW sequence set up for NTSC DV. ![]() Hi-8 cameras also recorded 8-bit audio at 32kHz, so if you're really trying to be true to the format, your audio specs should match the video.Īnyway, to get this look inside of Premiere natively (without 3rd party plugins), it is possible but it will take some effort. I'll leave out the technical details as to why Hi-8 was better and where it held its place among S-VHS and was eventually replaced by the superior MiniDV tape format. Ah, nostalgia.įor starters, the image quality of a Hi-8 tape is better than that of a VHS tape. Haha, that just happens to be the very first video camera I ever bought.
