    Typical Y/C delay that you get from color-under recorders like 3/4″ Umatic and VHS. Nattress makes a series of filters called “Bag of Tricks” for FCP. This one seems to be specifically the G Chroma Shift.

    To get it right…output to VHS and then recapture. I’ve done that, even wrinkled the tape in one spot to get that odd effect too.
