About Rowbyte TVPixel

Rowbyte TVPixel is an effect plugin for After Effects and Premiere Pro that breaks video into individual red, green, and blue pixels, mimicking the look of a traditional TV or LCD screen. The plugin offers custom controls for pixel gap spacing and includes 32‑bit floating‑point support when used in After Effects. Compatibility covers a wide range of host versions: After Effects from CS6 through the 2024 release, and Premiere Pro from CS6 up to the 2020 release, including all intermediate Creative Cloud versions. It runs on Windows; the catalog lists Mac support, but the metadata only confirms Windows as the operating system. The plugin is listed as free, though licensing terms should be verified with the developer before downloading.
