About Color Shift
Color Shift is a color‑grading plugin for Adobe After Effects developed by Haligonian. It remaps hue, intensity and related attributes onto a user‑defined gradient, producing a new color palette across the video. Version 1.1, released in March 2026, adds integration with the Colorama Browser by synthetick, giving access to more than 400 preset looks, and resolves a bug that previously prevented saving custom .ffx presets. Users can now create, save, and share their own presets, including via the developer’s Discord channel. The plugin is compatible with After Effects 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. A demo video is provided, and the catalog lists the plugin as free, though licensing terms should be verified on the developer’s page before download.
