a depth map for every frame, made on your own gpu inside after effects 2026. use it as a matte, a displacement map or a fog pass.
runs on your pc
nothing is uploaded. nvidia runs through cuda, and any directx 12 card through directml.
you set near and far
raw, normalized, or guided by two points you place on the shot.
never fails a render
if something goes wrong, the frame keeps the last good depth map and after effects carries on.
try it first
until you activate it, it renders at half resolution with a watermark. everything else works.
- buy it once, run the installer and pick your after effects versions. it downloads the depth model and the gpu runtime for you.
- apply dms depth map and activate it in options.
- set the resolution and the mapping.
- windows 10 (22H2) or 11, 64-bit
- after effects 2026
- an nvidia card (driver 527.41 or newer) or any directx 12 card
- admin rights to install (the installer isn't code-signed, so windows shows 'unknown publisher')
- the depth is relative, not distances in meters.
- each frame is computed on its own, so moving footage can shimmer a little. subpixel smoothing helps.
- after effects must be closed to install or update. premiere pro isn't supported.
which graphics card do i need?
nvidia with driver 527.41 or newer is fastest. any directx 12 card works through directml. preview mode shows your own speed before you buy.
is the depth in meters?
no, it's relative. guided mode pins two points on the shot to values you choose.
does it flicker on video?
it can breathe a little, because each frame is computed on its own. subpixel smoothing helps.
does it work with aerender and render farms?
yes. activate each node with your key. each one counts as one of your 3 machines.
does it upload my footage?
no. the model runs on your pc. the installer downloads the model and the gpu runtime once; nothing is uploaded except the license check and feedback you choose to send.
what does buying once get me?
the app, for good: every 1.x update, on 3 machines at a time. if it's not for you, ask for a refund within 14 days. the license page has the details. an aps suite subscription unlocks this app too.
