dude you are like saving the world with these videos. giving musicians the ability to self release their music on physical media formats is so important, especially cause most of us are broke and replication costs have barely changed over the past few years + it's important to have physical copies for preservation. i'm working on a cd release for an album i'm working on and you're helping me save a ton by being able to make these myself. also, i'm a vhs fan and this is like the only video i've seen on how to make these cases! in 2022!!! great work man

I've been looking into recording newer movies on VHS tapes lately for nostalgic reasons. It's actually pretty easily done tbh, you just need the right adapters for a VHS player to a laptop or anything you have that streams. Right now working on a VHS Edit for The Force Awakens, actually re-editing the film to fit a 4:3 frame (and I'm precise to where I want to make sure I'm having the shots line up with them, would be so much easier if I had an open matte edition lmao)

Please advise how you configure the printer to print the vhs slipvover in real size, since I have done it but it prints at a smaller size and not at the measure, also ask what type of paper you use both for the labels and for the slipcover or box vhs box
@ACrafterinTraining Жыл бұрын
Hello, glad you enjoyed the tutorial. The printing configuration might vary depending on the printer that will be use. to be honest, the only thing I do, is remove any edges that the printer might create and ensure the option to "print in real size" is selected. But to get to that configuration on my printer, I had to mess up multiple projects until I got it right. Trial and error is key when doing things with specific measurements. For the case I used a paper that is known as couche where I live, but I have been informed that is known differently in other areas. Glossy card stock paper is what I found to be similar online. For the labels, I use sticker paper with a semi gloss finish. Hope it helps.
