Displacer Pro is a free, GPU‑accelerated displacement‑map plugin for After Effects that supports translation, rotation, scale and several colour‑based modes, operating in 32 bpc.
Developed by Plugin Everything.

About Displacer Pro
Displacer Pro, developed by Plugin Everything, is a GPU‑accelerated displacement‑map effect for After Effects. It works in 32 bits‑per‑channel colour and can displace using translation, rotation and scale. The plugin includes displacement modes for hue, saturation, luma and red, and provides map‑adjustment controls such as gamma, softness and easing.
Additional features include temporal motion blur with multiple iterations, chromatic aberration, built‑in anti‑aliasing and support for Multi‑Frame Rendering (MFR). An Apple‑silicon native binary is supplied. The plugin is compatible with After Effects releases from CS6 through 2026, covering the CC series and all versions listed in the source.
Version 1.6.1, released 21 Feb 2025, corrected the scale behaviour, improved anti‑aliasing performance and visual quality, fixed a low‑precision issue at 8 bpc, and resolved a caching bug that occurred when more than one displacement iteration was used.

Frequently asked questions
Does Displacer Pro work with After Effects CS6 and 2026?
Yes. The plugin lists compatibility from After Effects CS6 through to version 2026, including all intermediate CC releases.
Is Displacer Pro free?
The catalog records the plugin as free, but licensing details may be clarified on the developer’s page.
Does Displacer Pro run natively on Apple silicon Macs?
An Apple‑silicon native build is provided, allowing the plugin to run on Apple silicon hardware without emulation.
What changed in Displacer Pro version 1.6.1?
Version 1.6.1 fixed scale behaviour, improved anti‑aliasing performance and visual result, resolved a low‑precision issue at 8 bpc, and corrected a caching bug that occurred when displacement iterations exceeded one.
