    Tone down the color, make it a bit yellow.

    Give it a slight blur and add Fade film from Lumetri.

    That gets much of the way "there".

     

    The problem is how seriously the OP needs to recreate video tape capture images? 

     

    As one thing commonly seen is a bit of color fringing on the edges of moving things. Maybe a thin red line on one side, a thin green on the other. But only in spots.

     

    Plus having a bit of the horizontal lines created by interlaced media also helps.

     

    Those are hard to do without specialized plug-ins or software. 

    Everyone's mileage always varies ...

      That would probably take a plugin. I would suggest checking over at aescripts.com, as that compendium site has a TON of about anything you could think of for making/doing stuff in both Premiere and AfterEffects.

       

      Host @Mathias Moehl also pops in here frequently.

        This could be helpful 🙂

        It is not from me, but from another aescripts author, and I havent tried it myself. But aescripts has very high quality standards, so if they sell it, you can assume that it is a solid product.

        Which Adobe video editing program are you using... Premiere Pro or Premiere Elements?

        in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

        p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
