Depth Scanner Lite is a plugin that estimates depth from ordinary images and video clips. Instead of painting a depth map by hand, you apply the effect and let the model work out what sits close to the camera and what sits far away. The result is a grayscale depth map you can feed into blur, fog, displacement and focus effects. This Lite edition keeps the workflow lean for everyday shots. Updated Aug 17, 2026.

How to Download

1. Open the vendor product page for Depth Scanner Lite and get the Mac plugin package.
2. Run the installer or use the vendor manager app if one is offered.
3. Restart After Effects or Premiere Pro and apply the effect to a layer.

System Requirements

You need a Mac with a current version of After Effects or Premiere Pro installed and a graphics card that can handle model based effects. Large frames and long clips render faster on Apple silicon machines with more memory.

FAQs

What is a depth map used for?

A depth map stores distance as brightness. Effects read it to blur backgrounds, add haze with distance or push pixels for a subtle three dimensional feel.

How is Lite different from the full edition?

Lite is the slim variant focused on easy depth map creation. The full Depth Scanner line adds more models and deeper controls for demanding video work.

Does it work on still photos?

Yes. A single photo is enough. The plugin estimates depth for the frame and you can use the map right away in your composition.
