The Degradator process by Retrocams remasters your footage to have a truly authentic vintage feel by first transferring to analog magnetic tape and then retransferring back to a digital codec which seamlessly reintegrates into your post-production workflow. Several levels of degradation and dozens of analog effects can be applied during recapture to craft each shot to your specifications, helping convince your audience they are watching something from the era.
Your footage doesn't stand a chance against the power of The Degradator.
Two Degradator Options
Degradator Auto
Degradator Auto processes your digital footage through a series of analog techniques to your project's delivery specs using a single deck setup per project. Think of it as an analog-video one-light transfer.
Degradator Custom
Degradator Custom applies the same process as Degradator Auto but also includes the ability to add custom analog effects. We carefully control the level of generation loss while adding custom tape distortion, signal interference, and video tracking effects as instructed, all while maintaining your original frame rate and aspect ratio.
