About BAO Perspective Changer
BAO Perspective Changer is a native After Effects plug‑in that preserves image definition while altering perspective. It calculates two distortions before sampling, allowing you to set input and output areas with four selection points and four transformation points, similar to a corner pin. Perspective changes are made by dragging points, requiring no camera or external tools, and can be animated over time. Both selection and transformation points can be driven by expressions for 3D interaction, and an included script converts masks to perspective and vice‑versa. The effect is GPU accelerated via OpenGL, includes a dockable panel controller, and ships with a user guide. Compatibility spans After Effects versions from CS5 through 2024.
