About Quick Depth 3
Quick Depth 3, version 3.0.2, is a depth‑estimation plugin for Adobe After Effects that generates a depth map from any footage. Rendering occurs locally on the user’s GPU or CPU, and the plugin runs on both Windows and macOS, including Apple Silicon devices. The update released on June 1, 2025 improves speed by up to two times compared with Quick Depth 2 and adds a Time Consistency mode for smoother results as well as a Quality Boost option that processes tiles for finer detail. Compatibility is listed for After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, and 2023. RTX 5000 users have a documented workaround, and a demo video is provided with the listing. The most recent Mac‑only fix resolves an error on the latest After Effects release.
