Aescripts Amalgam 1.5.0 for Mac
Mac UtilitiesAmalgam is a plugin for Adobe After Effects, also sold through aescripts, that blends one shot into another so the join reads like a morph instead of a dissolve. It comes from Pixel Sorter Studio. Rather than fading opacity, it splits both images into frequency bands and blends each band through a mask, which hides seams and keeps detail sharp.
Key Features
- Blend a layer into a target layer with frequency based blending
- Drive the reveal with brightness, a directional wipe or both
- Control the blend with Transition, Smoothness and Pyramid Levels settings
- Start from ready made presets and tune them to taste
- Ships as an effect for After Effects plus a transition for Premiere Pro

FAQs
Is Amalgam a standalone app?
No. Amalgam is a plugin that lives inside host apps, mainly Adobe After Effects on Mac. The same purchase also covers Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Nuke.
How is it different from a cross dissolve?
A dissolve fades one image out as the other fades in. Amalgam blends tones and detail in separate bands, so the change feels like one image turning into the next.
What happens without a license?
The plugin runs as a trial and draws a red X over the image. Adding your license key in the effect controls removes the mark.
