Dust Transition is a GPU accelerated plugin for After Effects that dissolves an image into millions of pixel sized particles, turning a plain cut into a cinematic change of scene. The particles are shaped by noise algorithms, so the dissolve feels organic rather than mechanical, and forces like wind and gravity can push the dust in a chosen direction. You can build up to ten layers of particles for a richer, sand like effect, and render the result in 3D space with camera depth of field. Updated Aug 21, 2026.
