Generative image tools are powerful, but bouncing between a browser tab, a downloads folder and After Effects breaks the rhythm of a project. SDFlow, distributed through aescripts, brings that diffusion based workflow closer to the timeline. From inside After Effects you can explore generated variations of frames and layers, then keep the results that fit your grade and deadline. It suits motion designers who want to test looks quickly.

Key Features

  • Diffusion style generation workflow that lives inside After Effects on Mac
  • Explore visual variations of a frame or layer without exporting to another app
  • Prompt driven exploration makes it fast to test moods, textures and treatments
  • Results stay in your project, ready to mask, grade and composite like normal footage
  • Fits motion design, style frames and concept passes for client work

How to Download

  1. Use the download button on this page to get the SDFlow package for Mac.
  2. Install it following the included instructions, then restart After Effects.
  3. Open SDFlow from the After Effects interface and run a small test on a short composition first.

System Requirements

SDFlow requires a Mac with a recent version of Adobe After Effects. Generation is demanding, so Apple Silicon, ample memory and fast storage give the smoothest experience.

FAQs

Is SDFlow a standalone app?

No. It works as part of After Effects, so you need After Effects installed on your Mac to use it.

What is it best used for?

Style exploration is the sweet spot: trying looks, textures and treatments early, before you commit time to a finished design.

Can I composite the results normally?

Yes. Anything SDFlow produces for your composition can be treated like regular layers, with masks, effects and blending modes.
