About Depthion
Depthion is a GPU‑accelerated plugin for Adobe After Effects that generates duplicates of a layer to give the appearance of depth. The duplicated layers are shaped using controls such as Tilt, Spin, Back Scale, and bevel, all accessible from a single control null for streamlined adjustments. Rendering leverages the GPU to provide faster output. The plugin is compatible with After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, and 2023. It is listed as free in this catalog, though licensing details are maintained on the developer’s site. A demo video demonstrates both core and advanced features of the tool.
