EFX Chromatic Aberration 2.0.1b is a plugin for After Effects, which will add or remove chromatic aberration on a layer, automating RGB channel splitting and recombining, while correctly preserving alpha transparency for compositing over backgrounds.

EFX Chromatic Aberration 2.0.1b Overview

EFX Chromatic Aberration is an After Effects plug-in that takes the guesswork out of a common, but fiddly, workflow; breaking a composition apart into Red, Green and Blue channels, scaling one of them independently, and then recombining the channels back into a single, cohesive effect. If you have a flat image , it 's pretty easy . But the moment you have an alpha channel to composite on a background , transparency handling can get messy without careful manual channel management . The EFX Chromatic Aberration features automatic handling of transparency so you can use it on layers you will place over other footage later. The plugin works both ways. It can add chromatic aberration for creative stylized effects, or remove unwanted aberration from footage that already has it, such as footage shot through certain lenses. Version 2.0.1b runs as a 64-bit plugin, is available for both Windows and Mac, and follows a pay-what-you-want pricing model with a suggested price, meaning existing customers from earlier versions can upgrade for free by logging in with their original purchase email.

Key Features

RGB Channel Separation (Automatic) The plugin does all the work of splitting up a composition into Red, Green and Blue channels and putting them back together. No need for manual pre-comps or separate layer management. Preserve Alpha Channel EFX Chromatic Aberration preserves transparency unlike manual channel-splitting techniques, so the effect can be applied to layers that will be composited over a background image without breaking their alpha. Two-Way Operation The plugin can be used to add chromatic aberration to create a stylized creative look, or to remove existing aberration from footage that already has unwanted color fringing. Single Effect Process: What would normally require lots of pre-comps, channel isolation and manual recombination, is reduced to one effect being applied directly to the layer. Free updates for existing customers If you have an older version you can upgrade to the latest release for free by simply logging into your account with the same email used for your original purchase. Pricing as You Wish The plugin uses a pay-what-you-want model with a suggested price, letting users choose their own price point, with volume discounts available for multiple license purchases. Free Trial Available A free trial is available before purchase, allowing users to test the plugin's behavior on their own footage before committing. Windows and Mac Compatibility Inside After Effects EFX Chromatic Aberration is a 64 bit plugin for Windows and Mac. Part of a Wider Effects Catalog If you want a broader stylistic toolbox, the developer also has companion tools like Glitch Control, a modular glitch effect plugin with RGB split and displacement tools, and bundled packages covering analog TV distortion and digital glitch effects.
