Voxel Sorter converts footage into a tilt‑able, lightable 3D voxel world and adds pixel‑sort effects. It runs in After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Media Encoder and Nuke/NukeX, with blend controls for smooth transitions. A Generate Depth (Pro) mode supports 16‑bit depth.

About Voxel Sorter
Voxel Sorter transforms video clips into a compact 3D voxel representation that can be tilted, lit, and pixel‑sorted. The plugin is compatible with After Effects (2026‑2022), DaVinci Resolve (21‑18), Premiere Pro (2026‑2022), Media Encoder (2026‑2022) and Nuke/NukeX (17.0‑13.2). Blend parameters allow gradual onset and fade‑out of the effect, while the Generate Depth (Pro) option creates depth maps and operates in 16‑bit workflows. Recent updates reduced GPU memory usage on DaVinci Resolve 16‑bit paths and improved stability by addressing GPU out‑of‑memory crashes. Version 1.9.1, released 26 June 2026, also fixed a Mac‑specific depth‑map generation bug.

Best for
Motion designers and visual effects artists who need a voxel‑style, pixel‑sort look that can be applied consistently across major Adobe, Blackmagic and Foundry compositing environments.
Frequently asked questions
What software and versions does Voxel Sorter support?
Voxel Sorter runs in After Effects versions 2026 through 2022, DaVinci Resolve versions 21 through 18, Premiere Pro versions 2026 through 2022, Media Encoder versions 2026 through 2022, and Nuke/NukeX versions 17.0 through 13.2.
Does Voxel Sorter work in DaVinci Resolve at 16-bit?
Yes. The plugin supports DaVinci Resolve 21‑18 and includes updates that lower GPU memory usage and enable the Generate Depth (Pro) feature to operate in 16‑bit pipelines.
Is Voxel Sorter free?
The catalog lists Voxel Sorter as free, but licensing terms may change; users should verify the current terms on the developer’s website before downloading.
What changed in the latest Voxel Sorter update?
Version 1.9.1 (26 June 2026) fixed a Mac‑specific depth‑map generation issue. Earlier 1.9.0 updates added blend parameters, enabled Generate Depth (Pro) in 16‑bit, reduced GPU memory consumption on Resolve 16‑bit paths, and prevented GPU out‑of‑memory crashes.
