Aura for After Effects 1.2.6 for Mac
Mac VideoAura, from Rowbyte, is a procedural plug-in for Adobe After Effects that creates elegant geometric shapes and waves in 3D space. Version 1.2.6 for Mac works a little like a particle system, but instead of scattering small particles it generates clean, vector-like waves that evolve over time, in the spirit of the classic Radiowaves effect taken much further. Motion designers use it for mesmerising backgrounds, logo animations and abstract visuals that would be painful to draw by hand.
Key Features
- Procedural generation of hundreds of thousands of high-frequency waves
- GPU-accelerated rendering designed for After Effects' multi-threaded architecture
- Multi-Frame Rendering support and SVG export
- 3D camera-aware, with depth of field bokeh and custom aperture settings
- Create shapes from the built-in generator, masks, or text layers converted to masks
How to Download
- Check your After Effects version is supported, from CC 2017 through the 2024 releases.
- Get the plug-in from the developer's store page: Download from the official site
- Install, apply Aura to a layer in After Effects, and animate the wave parameters over time.
System Requirements
Aura 1.2.6 needs a recent version of macOS with Adobe After Effects installed, and a GPU is strongly recommended for smooth rendering. It runs inside After Effects only, on both Intel and Apple silicon Macs supported by your After Effects version.
FAQs
Is Aura a standalone app?
No. Aura is a plug-in and only works inside Adobe After Effects. You need a valid After Effects installation and licence from Adobe to use it.
Can Aura export vector shapes?
Yes. Alongside normal rendering, Aura includes SVG export, which is useful when a design needs to move from a video animation into vector-based work.
