Instant Depth Map

Instant Depth Map is an AI-powered Adobe After Effects/ Premiere pro plugin that generates high-quality depth maps from a single image or video in seconds.

Using the Depth Anything V2 model, it creates accurate grayscale depth maps for effects like 2.5D parallax, camera projection, depth-based compositing, relighting, fog, and displacement without requiring LiDAR, stereo cameras, or manual masking.
