Apply Cinematic Video Presets in One Tap

With video filters, one tap can set the mood for your edit. From the soft, nostalgic 70s warmth of M5 PRO to the bold to the over-saturated 90s punch of AU5, VSCO’s most-loved video filters transform ordinary footage into moments that feel intentional and alive.

Every filter in the VSCO video editor is crafted to merge mood, motion, and meaning. Whether you're grading a travel series, a video portrait session, or a short film, the look moves with your story from the first frame to the last.

Compose Any Scene with Crop, Rotate, and Skew

Crop videos to any size or preset ratio, straighten crooked horizons, and skew along the X and Y axis to correct distorted architecture on the spot. Whether you're resizing for a client gallery, formatting for social, or fixing a wide-angle shot, compositional adjustments are fast and intuitive.

VSCO’s video editing tools give you the precision to fix perspective, lock in the right ratio, and deliver frames that look as intentional as they felt in the moment.

Add Video Effects with Real Film Character

Infuse your footage with authentic film character using 40+ effects across five collections: Texture, Light, Frames, Distressed, and VFX. Recreate the nostalgic playback of a retro VHS tape, add glitches and light leaks, apply real 8mm, 16mm, and 35mm film frames, and create hypnotizing kaleidoscope patterns.

Every effect is built from real film scans and analog references, not generic digital filters. The result is footage that feels textured and true to the look your were always after.
