'''ntscQT''' is a ~~program and plugin~~ that ~~allows~~ for artificial [[Analog Distortion]] effects. It tries to be as realistic as possible without any expensive equipment, making it a popular modern choice compared to other similar effects.

'''ntscQT''' refers to a collection of related programs/plugins that allow for artificial [[Analog Distortion]] effects, specifically VHS distortion. It tries to be as realistic as possible without any expensive equipment (or cost), making it a popular modern choice compared to other similar effects.

While ntscQT is the most well known of these programs, [https://github.com/valadaptive/ntsc-rs ntsc-rs] is the recommended one as it is still under active development (and much faster!)

''Note: This guide will follow usage for ntsc-rs, which is recommended to use. All references to ntscqt are in turn referring to this fork unless said otherwise.''

Similar to programs like [[Wax]], ntsc-rs can be used as both a standalone program, or a plugin in your favorite editor. There is an [[OFX]] version, as well as variants for [[Premiere Pro]] and [[After Effects]].

= Forks and alternatives =

ntscQT has been superseded by more modern programs - itself, being a UI-wrapper for "ntsc" which is a rewrite of a program called [https://github.com/joncampbell123/composite-video-simulator composite-video-simulator].

With the last release being in August of 2021, ntscQT ~~a fairly old~~ and ~~outdated piece~~ of ~~software~~.

With the last release being in August of 2021, ntscQT has been replaced by newer, faster alternatives.

=== ntsc-rs ===

[https://github.com/valadaptive/ntsc-rs ntsc-rs] is a Rust rewrite of ntscQT, with the most important feature that it is "Blazingly Fast" - mostly because it ~~actually uses~~ more than one core ~~of the CPU~~. It also has a few other additions, like [[Digital Distortion#Interlacing|interlacing]], for instance.

~~=== ntscQT+ ===~~

[https://github.com/rgm89git/ntscQTplus '''ntscQT+'''], or '''ntscQTplus''', is an updated fork of the original ntscQT, apparently adding "New parameters and video artifacts". It has been discontinued in favor of ntsc-rs development as of December 2024.

== ntsc-rs ==

[https://github.com/valadaptive/ntsc-rs ntsc-rs] is a Rust rewrite of ntscQT, with the most important feature that it is "Blazingly Fast" - mostly because it is multi-threaded (more than one CPU core). It also has a few other additions, like [[Digital Distortion#Interlacing|interlacing]], for instance.
