Displacer Pro

The humble AE displacement map with more features + juiced up on the GPU. And it's free. NEW: Scale finally works properly + better anti-aliasing.  

Description

The displacement map inside of AE is one of the most versatile tools at our disposal as compositors and motion designers. For one reason or another, it can only displace by translation (moving the position). We thought it would be cool if you could use other transformations, and thus Displacer Pro was given birth to through our proprietary plugin birth canal.



Core Features:

  • Displace with translation, rotation & scale
  • All your favourite modes: hue, saturation, luma, red, etc
  • Powerful map adjustments: gamma, softness, easing & more
  • Temporal motion blur and iterations for smooth displacement
  • Chromatic aberration
  • Inbuilt anti-aliasing
  • GPU accelerated, 32bpc
  • MFR & Apple silicon native
