    Geometrize! is an Adobe After Effects extension sold through aescripts + aeplugins that recreates a still image as an abstract arrangement of shapes. Given a source picture, it generates hundreds of candidate rectangles, triangles and ellipses, then repeatedly mutates and ranks thousands of them behind the scenes, keeping only the best-fitting shapes in the final artwork.

    That hill-climbing approach makes it popular with Mac motion designers who want a distinctive geometric illustration style for posters, title cards and social graphics, without placing every shape by hand. The result stays editable inside After Effects on macOS and can also be exported for use elsewhere.

    Key Features

    • Recreates images using three geometric primitives: rectangles, triangles and ellipses
    • Hill-climbing optimisation ranks thousands of generated shapes and keeps the best fits
    • Alpha channel support for images with transparency
    • Export finished artwork to SVG and PNG formats
    • Works as a panel extension inside After Effects on Mac

    How to Download

    1. Confirm your version of After Effects for Mac is listed as compatible on the product page.
    2. Get the extension from the official listing: Download from the official site
    3. Install it with the aescripts + aeplugins manager app, restart After Effects, and open it from the Window menu.

    Is Geometrize free?
    No. It is a paid extension (listed at $49.90). A trial version is available, limited to 150 shapes and 3 states, which is enough to judge the style before buying.

    Can I use the output outside After Effects?
    Yes. You can export your geometrized artwork as SVG or PNG, so it can be finished in a vector editor, used in print, or dropped into other design tools.

    Geometric Filter is a native effect plugin for Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro, sold through aescripts + aeplugins. It rebuilds your footage as a geometric approximation, tracing contours and similar regions with a custom proximity-matching algorithm so the result keeps a slightly hand-drawn, human feel rather than a cold pixelated look.

    It is aimed at motion designers, music-video editors and VJs on Mac who want an artistic, shape-based treatment inside the host app on macOS, instead of exporting frames to a separate program. Every parameter is fully keyframable, so the effect can evolve over time in a composition.

    Key Features

    • Transforms footage into lines, curves, triangles, squares, circles and rectangles
    • Custom proximity-matching algorithm that traces contours and similar colour regions
    • 20 built-in presets, with easy creation and saving of your own presets
    • All parameters fully keyframable for animated geometric looks over time
    • Runs natively inside After Effects and Premiere Pro on macOS

    How to Download

    1. Make sure you have a supported version of After Effects or Premiere Pro installed on your Mac.
    2. Buy or start a trial from the official listing: Download from the official site
    3. Install with the aescripts + aeplugins manager app or the supplied installer, then restart your host app.

    Is Geometric Filter free?
    No. It is a paid plugin (listed at $43.99). A limited trial is offered through aescripts, so you can test it on your own footage before buying a licence.

    Does it work on Apple silicon Macs?
    Current builds ship as a universal macOS binary with Apple silicon support for After Effects and Premiere Pro. Check the compatibility table on the official page for your exact host version.

    Mac Video • Updated Nov 4, 2026

    Fast Camera Lens Blur for After Effects & Premiere Pro 5.0.2 for Mac does exactly what its name promises: it renders realistic camera lens blur — the soft, depth-of-field bokeh of a real lens — in a fraction of the time taken by After Effects' built-in Camera Lens Blur effect. You get the same convincing out-of-focus highlights and iris shapes, without the render times that make the native effect painful on long sequences.

    It is made for editors, compositors and VFX artists who need shallow depth of field, focus pulls and tilt-shift style looks in Adobe After Effects or Premiere Pro on macOS. The plug-in is paid software sold through aescripts + aeplugins, and it is not a standalone app — one of those Adobe host apps is required. Check the official product page for current pricing and any trial option.

    Key Features

    • Realistic lens blur that matches the look of AE's native Camera Lens Blur, rendered much faster
    • Multiple iris shapes, including hexagon, octagon, 12-gon and 16-gon bokeh
    • Depth-map support for true depth-of-field and animated focus pulls
    • Works in both Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro
    • Native Apple Silicon support on modern Macs

    How to Download

    1. Buy a licence on the official aescripts product page, or check that page first for any trial version offered by the vendor.
    2. Download the Mac installer from your aescripts account, install it, and apply the effect in After Effects or Premiere Pro.

    Is Fast Camera Lens Blur free?
    No. It is a paid plug-in sold through aescripts. There is no free full version, so avoid unofficial copies, which are frequently bundled with unwanted software.

    Which apps does it work with?
    It runs inside Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro on Mac. It does not work on its own, so you need at least one of those host apps installed and licensed.

    Mac Video • Updated Nov 4, 2026

    Deep Glow 1.6.6 for Mac is a glow plug-in for Adobe After Effects that produces a soft, physically accurate bloom instead of the flat, clipped halo you get from the built-in glow effect. It spreads light the way a real lens does, with smooth falloff and proper handling of very bright values, which makes neon signs, light streaks, titles and energy effects look convincingly photographic.

    It is built for motion designers, VFX artists and title designers who work in After Effects on macOS and need high-quality glow without stacking multiple blur and screen layers. Deep Glow is paid software sold through aescripts + aeplugins — the current listing there is Deep Glow 2, the newer successor to this version. It is not a standalone app, so a licensed copy of After Effects is required.

    Key Features

    • Physically accurate glow with smooth, natural light falloff
    • HDR-friendly rendering that keeps bright highlights from clipping harshly
    • Radius, exposure and threshold controls for precise glow shaping
    • Works on text, shape layers, footage and precompositions in After Effects
    • GPU-friendly performance for interactive previews on Mac

    How to Download

    1. Buy a licence on the official aescripts product page — the current version sold there is Deep Glow 2 — or check that page for any trial version offered by the vendor.
    2. Download the Mac installer from your aescripts account, install it, and apply Deep Glow from the Effects panel in After Effects.

    Is Deep Glow free?
    No. Deep Glow is a paid After Effects plug-in sold through aescripts. There is no free full version, and copies offered on crack or torrent sites are unofficial and risky to install.

    Does Deep Glow need After Effects?
    Yes. It is a plug-in that runs inside Adobe After Effects, so you need After Effects installed and licensed on your Mac before you can use it.

    Mac Video • Updated Nov 4, 2026

    ClearPlus 2.2 for Mac is a video enhancement plug-in that rescues footage which looks washed out or murky: hazy outdoor shots, underwater clips with a heavy colour cast, and low-light video that has lost its contrast. Its dehaze and shadows controls recover detail in dark areas while keeping the image natural, so colours pop again without the harsh, over-processed look of simple contrast sliders.

    It is aimed at editors and colourists working in Adobe After Effects on macOS — and, per the vendor, the plug-in is also GPU accelerated for Adobe Premiere Pro. ClearPlus is paid software, priced at $24.99 on aescripts + aeplugins, and it is not a standalone app: you need After Effects installed for an After Effects workflow. Check the official product page for any current trial or demo option.

    Key Features

    • Dehaze slider that clears haze and fog while preserving a natural look
    • Shadows and highlights controls to recover dark areas without clipping
    • White balance tools well suited to underwater colour correction
    • Sky enhancement for flat, washed-out outdoor footage
    • GPU accelerated for faster previews and renders on Mac

    How to Download

    1. Download from the official site
    2. Buy a licence on the official aescripts product page, or check that page first for any trial version offered by the vendor.
    3. Download the Mac installer from your aescripts account, install it, and apply ClearPlus from the effects panel in After Effects.

    Is ClearPlus free?
    No. ClearPlus is a paid plug-in, priced at $24.99 on the official aescripts page. There is no free full version, and unofficial copies from download sites are not endorsed by the vendor.

    Does ClearPlus work on its own?
    No. It is a plug-in for Adobe After Effects (with Premiere Pro support noted by the vendor), so you need the host app installed and licensed on your Mac.

    Mac Video • Updated Nov 4, 2026

    Character Swing Rigging 1.5.5 for Mac is an Adobe After Effects tool that adds secondary motion to 2D characters: the natural follow-through when hair swings, clothing trails behind a step, or ears bounce as a character moves. Instead of keyframing every delayed movement by hand, you build a simple swing rig and let the tool generate the overlapping action.

    It is made for character animators, motion designers and explainer-video artists working in After Effects on macOS. The plug-in is paid software sold through aescripts + aeplugins, listed at $29.99, and it is not a standalone app — a licensed copy of Adobe After Effects is required to run it. Check the official product page for any current trial or demo option before you buy.

    Key Features

    • Quick swing rigs for hair, clothes, fur, ears, tongues and tails
    • Automatic secondary motion that follows your main character animation
    • Adjustable swing behaviour so stiff and loose elements move differently
    • Saves hours compared with hand-keyframing follow-through and overlap
    • Runs inside Adobe After Effects on Mac as part of your normal rigging workflow

    How to Download

    1. Buy a licence on the official aescripts product page, or check that page first for any trial version offered by the vendor.
    2. Download the Mac installer from your aescripts account, install it, and open the tool inside Adobe After Effects.

    Is Character Swing Rigging free?
    No. It is a paid After Effects tool, listed at $29.99 on aescripts. There is no free full version, so be wary of any site offering one — those downloads are unofficial and often unsafe.

    Does it work without After Effects?
    No. Character Swing Rigging is a plug-in that runs inside Adobe After Effects, so you need After Effects installed and licensed on your Mac to use it.

    Mac Video • Updated Nov 4, 2026

    Block Swap 1.0 for Mac is a plug-in by Satori, sold on the aescripts marketplace, that cuts your image into blocks and randomly swaps them with each other. Block size, spread, count and other parameters can all be controlled and animated, so a calm shuffle, a blocky glitch or a full recomposition of the scene is only a few keyframes away.

    It is aimed at motion designers, editors and VJs who want clean-looking noise effects, digital glitch looks and eye-catching transitions without building them by hand. A Time Shift section can pull blocks from other frames, and a Mask Filter limits the effect to chosen areas. Block Swap is a paid plug-in, listed at around $27.99, and it requires Adobe After Effects or Premiere Pro — it is not a standalone app. A trial is available on the official page.

    Key Features

    • Randomly shuffles image blocks with animatable size, spread, count and seed controls
    • Block width and height from tiny noise-like tiles up to large 4096-pixel blocks
    • Time Shift swaps blocks in time as well as space, using frames from other moments
    • Mask Filter controls exactly where swapping happens for precise in and out animation
    • Works in Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro, for glitches, noise and transitions

    How to Download

    1. Download from the official site
    2. Sign in to aescripts, try the trial or buy a licence, then download the Mac installer from your account.
    3. Install with the aescripts + aeplugins manager app and restart After Effects or Premiere Pro to apply Block Swap.

    Is Block Swap free?
    No. It is a paid plug-in sold through aescripts. The trial version limits rendering resolution, while the registered version removes that limit — there is no free full version.

    Does Block Swap work without Adobe software?
    No. It is a plug-in for Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro, so one of those host apps must be installed on your Mac. The official page lists supported versions from CS6 onwards.

    Mac Video • Updated Nov 4, 2026

    Bao Boa for After Effects 1.4.6 for Mac is a plug-in from BAO Plugins, sold on the aescripts marketplace, that distorts a layer along a mask path. Draw a mask, and Boa bends, stretches and flows your artwork, text or footage along that curve — the classic way to make ribbons, tentacles, snakes and sweeping path animations that are painful to build with standard After Effects tools.

    It suits motion designers and character animators who need smooth, controllable bending without expressions or complex rigs. You get full control over the start, end, scale and position along the path, plus rotation and twisting for more organic results. Boa is a paid plug-in and requires Adobe After Effects — it is not standalone software. A trial is available on the official page, so test it on your Mac before buying.

    Key Features

    • Warp and distort any layer along any mask path in After Effects
    • Rotate and twist the layer as it travels along the path
    • Full control over start, end, scale and Z position along the path
    • Adjustable mesh definition and sub-sampling for smooth, clean bends
    • Popular for fake 2.5D effects, ribbons, creatures and flowing title animation

    How to Download

    1. Download from the official site
    2. Sign in to aescripts, try the trial first or buy a licence, then download the Mac installer from your account.
    3. Install with the aescripts + aeplugins manager app, restart After Effects and apply BAO Boa to a layer with a mask path.

    Is Bao Boa free?
    No. It is a paid After Effects plug-in sold on aescripts, also available inside the BAO Distortion Bundle. The official page offers a trial, but there is no free full version.

    Does Bao Boa need Premiere Pro?
    No. Boa is an Adobe After Effects plug-in, so you need After Effects installed on your Mac. It does not run on its own or inside Premiere Pro.

    Bang for After Effects 1.1.0 for Mac is a modular, fully procedural 3D muzzle flash plug-in for Adobe After Effects, originally sold through the aescripts marketplace and now continued by Maxon as part of its VFX line. Instead of pasting flat stock footage over a shot, Bang generates each flash in 3D, so it can be viewed from any angle and responds to your composition camera.

    It is built for VFX artists and action filmmakers who need gunfire that matches their scene: shape controls and ready-made presets cover common firearms, while colour, brightness, glow, sparks and burst behaviour can all be tuned. Bang is paid software and requires Adobe After Effects — it is not a standalone app. The official Maxon page is the safe source for the current version, pricing and trial information.

    Key Features

    • Procedural 3D muzzle flashes rendered from any angle, aware of After Effects cameras
    • Up to four flash types and sixteen flash instances per layer for big gun battles
    • Fully customisable presets for well-known pistols, rifles, a minigun and stylised looks
    • Bang Relighter module simulates the flash lighting up actors and surroundings
    • Control petal shape, roll, scale, age randomisation, glow and sparks per flash

    How to Download

    1. Download from the official site
    2. On the Maxon page, check the current VFX Bang pricing or trial, then download the official Mac installer for your licence.
    3. Install the plug-in, restart After Effects and apply Bang to a layer in your action scene.

    Is Bang free?
    No. Bang is a paid After Effects plug-in. Older listings priced a single-user licence at around $75; check the official Maxon page for current pricing and any trial, and avoid cracked copies.

    Does Bang work without After Effects?
    No. Bang only works as a plug-in inside Adobe After Effects. You need a supported After Effects installation on your Mac before you can use it.

    Mac Video • Updated Nov 4, 2026

    Auto Crop 3.1.1 for Mac is a small but very useful Adobe After Effects tool from BatchFrame, sold on the aescripts marketplace as Auto Crop 3. With one click it shrinks a composition down to the exact size of its visible content, removing empty borders based on the alpha channel of every layer in the comp.

    Motion designers use it to tidy pre-comps, prepare exports at the true content size and stop renders wasting time on blank space. You can crop at the current frame, or let it analyse the whole timeline so animated content is never clipped. Auto Crop is a low-cost paid plug-in, listed at around $9.99, and it requires Adobe After Effects — it is not a standalone Mac app. A limited free trial is available on the official page.

    Key Features

    • One-click cropping of a composition to the size of its actual content
    • Pixel-perfect results based on the alpha channel of every layer
    • Crop at the current frame or analyse the full timeline so animation is not cut off
    • Rebuilt as a fast native After Effects plug-in, with a dockable panel
    • Keeps layer positions intact and can be triggered from other scripts and KBar

    How to Download

    1. Download from the official site
    2. Sign in to aescripts, try the trial or buy a licence, then download the Mac plug-in files from your account.
    3. Install with the aescripts + aeplugins manager app, restart After Effects and run Auto Crop from the menu or panel.

    Is Auto Crop free?
    No. It is an inexpensive paid plug-in. The official trial works like the full version but is limited to 10 crops per day for 7 days, which is enough to test it properly.

    Does Auto Crop work outside After Effects?
    No. Auto Crop is an After Effects plug-in and needs a supported version of Adobe After Effects on your Mac. It does not crop video files on its own.
