About Breeze
Breeze, developed by aeHamid, adds wave motion to After Effects compositions. It provides four-directional wave movement and a two‑way breeze option, usable in Mask mode (affecting layer masks) or Overall mode (affecting the whole layer). Multiple breezes can be applied to a single layer’s masks, and the plugin includes several ready‑made presets to accelerate setup. Version 1.0.1, released on February 17 2025, fixes minor bugs from the initial 1.0 launch. Compatibility covers After Effects 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021. The catalog lists the plugin as free, though licensing details should be verified on the developer’s page.
