Separate RGB

Version: 2.5 Sign up to be notified by email when a new version of this script is posted

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.

  It is definitely possible, but didn’t include that feature because there would be too many UI elements. If you specifically need it, contact me.

  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.

  Do you mean can you distort channels in 3D space? Not yet. It might be implemented in the future versions. Once again, thank you for supporting development.
