Video files are comprised of a combination of separate red, green, and blue images. Baseline value is 0.435, to reveal more detail in the midtones raise this value to 0.700. The pivot controls the offset weight between the darkest and brightest regions in your shot. The base value is 1.0, try something around 0.85. This can be done by opening the primary wheels tool (3 rd panel from the left) and clicking and dragging your mouse over the contrast value in the lower left of the screen.

Place your playhead overtop of the clip you want to start with, and click the Color panel on the lower navigation ribbon.Drag and drop your footage from the Media Pool into the Timeline.Pick which clips you want to work with – either a whole project or just a few shots.

Images of a VHS effect might suggest that this is a motion graphics project and that you would start your project in the Fusion page.
