hi in this video I'm going to show you
0:03
on how you can create a really cool phhs
0:06
text effect using Cana and this picture
0:09
is probably going to bring you some
0:12
memory from two three decades ago and
0:15
this effect is very very easy to achieve
0:17
using Cana and we are not going to use
0:19
any thir party tool we are going to use
0:21
whatever available in Cana so let's get
0:25
started first I do recommend opening a
0:27
blank new document or blank new page p
0:30
and after that you can go to text and
0:32
you can start uh typing the text that
0:34
you want to turn into the VHS text
0:37
effect uh this one is going to be
0:39
subscribe and uh after that let's change
0:43
the phone into something else the one
0:45
phone that I do recommend is called
0:46
retro piic you can search that on the
0:48
Cana phone library and you want to apply
0:51
that into your phone let's make it
0:53
bigger
0:55
and after that I do recommend to turn
0:58
the background into black or anything
1:01
with dark color this is very helpful to
1:03
make sure that the text is visible
1:05
because we want to change the text color
1:07
into white I think white is the most
1:09
common color for uh Texs on the screen
1:12
especially from '90s or ' 80s so after
1:15
that after we got this effect the next
1:17
thing that you can do is go to effect uh
1:20
click the text first and then go to
1:21
effect and then you want to click glitch
1:24
and here is where you can play around
1:26
with the parameter the offset is kind of
1:29
how big the obset really is the the
1:31
color that is surrounding this text so
1:33
I'm going to set it to be around 30 to
1:36
40 maybe and the direction is kind of
1:38
the angle I think I'm going to keep it
1:40
at 90° for me it is uh appropriate angle
1:44
for that glitchy effect the color is
1:47
going to be red and blue because I think
1:49
it's a lot better and when you're are
1:51
done you can click share click download
1:54
and make sure the fil up to be PNG that
1:56
is very important enable transparent
1:58
background and I'm going to download
2:00
only this page uh the page number two
2:02
which contains this text and click
2:04
download now just wait until the file is
2:07
being downloaded so essentially we are
2:09
turning this text into an image so we
2:11
can apply some modifications later now
2:14
add a new page and after that you can
2:16
upload the file the text file that you
2:19
just
2:19
created and I'm going to make it
2:23
bigger okay that's pretty good now you
2:26
want to click edit and after that we are
2:29
going to to apply some effect so the
2:32
first effect is uh I forgot the name oh
2:35
it's slicing effect so you have to
2:37
navigate to the app section and you want
2:39
to find what it says slice if you are
2:42
doing it for the first time it's going
2:43
to prompt you with a message and then
2:45
you basically have to click the open
2:46
button that is located somewhere around
2:48
here and after that it will open this
2:51
menu so you can select on any effect
2:54
that you want it's totally up to you I
2:55
guess I'm going to select with I'm going
2:57
to use slice and I'm going to reduce the
2:59
the number to
3:03
05 and the count is I think three or
3:06
maybe
3:07
four and the position is maybe something
3:11
like
3:13
that okay the the count is maybe before
3:16
and this is a very very subjec is you
3:18
can use any any number that you
3:21
want right this is you don't have to
3:24
follow my setting you can use your own
3:26
setting but essentially after you're
3:28
done you can click save and
3:30
it will recreate the image and then it
3:32
will upload that into your confa account
3:34
now we are done with the slicing effect
3:36
the next thing that we can do is to add
3:38
some Blu-ray effect to the picture
3:40
because uh old TV usually not very sharp
3:43
and we kind of see the Blu-ray uh edges
3:46
on a text so we want to apply that now
3:49
still on the edit section we want to go
3:51
back and we want to apply some Blu-ray
3:53
effect here and make sure to select the
3:56
whole image and the intensity is usually
3:59
less than 10 uh in this case I'm going
4:01
to select six I do not go too much
4:04
otherwise the text is not going to be
4:06
readable so we want to maintain that
4:08
slicing effect and therefore make sure
4:10
it is less than 10 and after that let's
4:13
go back and we got this result the final
4:16
touch that I think is going to make the
4:18
effect look more interesting is to add
4:19
some decorations or background that is
4:23
reminiscent to old TV you can use a
4:25
keyword like old TV screen or you can
4:29
also use a keyboard like uh T
4:32
static so there are plenty of things
4:35
that you can apply to this picture but
4:37
the one that I'm going to use is just
4:38
the the same background that I used
4:40
before which is this one and let set it
4:43
as a
4:44
background and there you go but I want
4:47
to add one more uh one more thing here
4:49
uh let's select this background and I'm
4:53
going to click edit click adjust and I'm
4:56
going to apply some f net effect
5:00
so yeah there you have it now we just
5:02
recreated the old V VHS text effect
5:06
using KVA uh pretty easy right so that's
5:10
basically it I hope you find this video
