VKO Shader is an effect for Adobe After Effects that runs GLSL shaders on the graphics card, right on your timeline. You pick a shader, adjust its controls and render. It suits motion designers who want lively backgrounds, retro screen looks and music driven visuals without leaving After Effects. Updated Aug 19, 2026.

Key Features

• A library of GPU shaders you can browse in a live thumbnail grid before you apply one
• Every numeric control can be keyframed, so looks can grow through a scene
• Audio reactive behaviour that reads the audio in your composition and moves with it
• A settable tempo pulse for projects that have no audio track at all
• Custom GLSL import, so your own shader files appear in the browser at once

How to Download

1. Make sure After Effects is installed on your Mac first.
2. Download from the official site and follow the buying or trial steps there.
3. Run the Mac installer from your account download and let it place the effect.
4. Restart After Effects, add the effect to a solid or adjustment layer, and pick a shader.

System Requirements

FAQs

Can I try VKO Shader before I buy it?

Yes. The vendor offers a free trial through the official product page, so you can test it in your own projects first.

Do I need to write code to use it?

No. The ready made shaders work with plain controls. Writing GLSL is optional and only needed if you want to build custom looks.
