About Pixel Sorter

Pixel Sorter is a pixel‑sorting plugin from Pixel Sorter Studio that runs in After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, and Premiere Pro and also supports Final Cut Pro, Media Encoder, Nuke/NukeX, and Photoshop across recent versions. It provides several sorting modes, including angle/rotation and stretch, with gradient output, noise, offset, length, randomization, and feather controls. Sorting blocks and resolution settings let you produce larger, bolder sorted pixels, while deep‑color support (16‑ and 32‑bit) and a multi‑threaded core handle high‑precision projects. The Cycle option offers an infinite angle UI for animation. Simple Mode, introduced in version 4.1.0, displays only essential settings for faster workflows and includes a 15% speed improvement. A universal license covers After Effects, Premiere Pro, Nuke, Resolve, and Photoshop. This catalog lists Pixel Sorter as free; verify current licensing on the developer’s site.
