This is a package of a native After Effects plugin as well as a Flash compatible Pixel Bender plugin that allows you to move, rotate, scale, blur, blend and fade the RGB channels independently. You can use this plugin to create the popular “Chromatic Aberration” effect seen in this tutorial.

Install it in the Plugins folder. Inside After Effects you will find it in the Effects menu under the Gutsblow category.

Native AE plugins are compatible with AE7 and above and Pixel Bender plugins are compatible with AE and Flash CS4 and above. Important: Only install one or the other, installing both the native and pixel bender plugin will cause a conflict.

      I am not sure, if you can produce Anaglyph images on a single click with this plugin. But, you can use to produce the Red and Cyan versions with this plugin and overlay it on the source. May be AE’s in built plugin called ’3D Glasses’ can be used for this purpose.

    It’s nice to use the Pixel Bender versions in Photoshop because they are GPU accelerated there, and then move to after effects for animation. Some pluggins seem to work 100x times faster in Photoshop CS4 than AE.

    This one works fine in Photoshop, except for the “Blue Rotation.” It only accepts 0 to 1 for a rotation value. The Red and green rotation works fine though. Can this be fixed.

    I noticed on the demo video it says CS4 only but on this site it says AE7 & up.
    Just wanted to make sure that your TV Distortion bundle/Seperate RGB will work in CS3.
    Thanks.

    Now hopefully i’m doing something stupid but i’m can’t install and getting this msg –
    After Effects error: Can’t import file
    “SepRGB.plugin”:unsupported filetype or extension.

    I’m running AE7 on a Mac OSX 10.4.11

    any ideas?

    looking forward to using, seems just like what i was looking for..
    Thanks in advance

    Just to follow up – tried again, dropped file into Plugin folder, it comes up on the effects menu but then gives me this

    After effects error: Couldn’t find main entry point for SepRBG.plugin

    If i try apply to layer again it just says invalid filter.

    Thanks

      I have received a couple of bug reports similar to this before, its seen only on PPC Macs. I don’t have a PPC machine to test it right now, but users have reported that, after restarting AE a couple of times, it worked normally. Try that, and if it still doesn’t work let me know.

        Hi Satya,

        thanks for the reply. Tried as you suggested restarting a number of times over the past few days and i’m afraid i’m getting the same comments randomly – ‘no entry point’ and ‘invalid filter’.

        If you get a chance to have a look at it that’d be great.
        Nice work by the way, i’m liking the generative visuals on your site. Something i’m quite interested in as well to use for visuals but only scratching the surface of it.

        Thanks

    Dear Satya?

    Thank you for you hard work but what is really, really missing:

    outside x assume function: border color, mirrored image or repeated image
    outside y assume function: border color, mirrored image or repeated image

    this would remove the borders when you shift the channels.

    Is this possible?

      “.pbk” files are Pixel Bender Filters which are supported both by Mac and PC. The installation for Pixel Bender Filters is a bit different compared to regular plugins. Here are the instructions to install them.

      1.Download the Pixel Bender Plugin for Photoshop here
      http://www.adobe.com/go/pixelbender_plugin_pscs4_32bit/
      2.Double click that file and Extension Manager CS4 will Open. (If you have CS5, extension Manager CS5 will open, so close it and open the CS4 version). Now install the extension. (just click accept and it will install automatically).
      3. Now you will see a folder in “/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS4/” called Pixel Bender Files. Drop the “.pbk” file from the download package (in folder “Pixel Bender After Effects”).
      4. Choose Filter > Pixel Bender > Pixel Bender Gallery and you should Separate RGB.
