ClearPlus 2.2 Overview

ClearPlus is a GPU-accelerated video enhancement plugin developed by vimager and distributed through aescripts + aeplugins, purpose-built to enhance hazy, underwater, and low-light footage inside Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro. Available for both Mac and Windows, ClearPlus runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1) Macs and supports Multi-Frame Rendering in After Effects. Version 2.2, released December 13, 2021, added Multi-Frame Rendering support, native Apple M1 Silicon support, and a new Details slider, building on the plugin's core dehazing engine. What sets ClearPlus apart from general-purpose color correction tools is its specific focus on atmospheric and underwater image degradation — the kind of haze, fog, and color cast that ordinary contrast or saturation adjustments struggle to fully correct. The plugin includes an advanced dehaze mode designed to produce fewer halo artifacts around high-contrast edges than typical dehazing algorithms, along with dedicated contrast and histogram modes aimed at reducing flickering across a video clip. Because it's GPU accelerated, ClearPlus can process this kind of correction in real time within the host application's timeline, making it a practical tool for editors working with drone footage, underwater cinematography, or any hazy atmospheric shots that need visual clarity restored.

Key Features

GPU-Accelerated Dehaze Processing Uses GPU acceleration to remove haze and atmospheric distortion from footage in real time within After Effects and Premiere Pro. Advanced Dehaze Mode with Reduced Halos An advanced dehazing mode is specifically designed to minimize the halo artifacts around high-contrast edges that commonly appear with more basic dehazing techniques. Contrast & Histogram Flicker Reduction Dedicated contrast and histogram-based modes help eliminate flickering across frames, a common issue when correcting hazy or underwater footage clip by clip. Details Slider (Added in 2.2) A dedicated Details slider, introduced in version 2.2, gives users direct control over fine detail enhancement as part of the correction process. Underwater & Low-Light Footage Correction Specifically tuned to address the color cast, haze, and reduced contrast typical of underwater and low-light video, beyond what standard color grading tools can easily fix. Sky Enhancement The plugin is also positioned as one of the more capable tools for sky enhancement, improving contrast and clarity in overcast or hazy sky footage. Native Apple M1 Silicon Support (Added in 2.2) Runs natively on Apple Silicon M1 Macs as of version 2.2, in addition to Intel-based systems. Multi-Frame Rendering Support (Added in 2.2) Supports Adobe After Effects' Multi-Frame Rendering feature, allowing faster render times by processing multiple frames simultaneously.

How to Use ClearPlus 2.2

Open After Effects or Premiere Pro and apply ClearPlus to a clip suffering from haze, underwater color cast, or low-light degradation. Engage the advanced dehaze mode for footage with strong haze or fog, checking for reduced halo artifacts around high-contrast edges. Use the contrast and histogram modes if you notice flickering across frames during correction. Adjust the Details slider to fine-tune how much detail enhancement is applied to the corrected footage. For underwater footage specifically, use ClearPlus's color correction alongside dehazing to address both haze and color cast simultaneously. Take advantage of Multi-Frame Rendering in After Effects to speed up final render times when exporting corrected footage.
