About YY_Ramp+

YY_Ramp+ is a ramp effect plugin for Adobe After Effects created by Andrew Yang. It adds opacity control, twenty extra blend modes, and new ramp shapes including angle, reflected, and diamond, plus a midpoint slider and a fast Ramp Scatter parameter on CS5 and later. The plugin runs as a native component, improving performance and maintaining compatibility with CS6 and newer releases. Version 2.8, released in March 2022, introduced Apple M1 support and retains compatibility with After Effects versions from CS4 up to the 2024 release. Backwards compatibility is preserved for earlier plugin versions 2.0 and 2.1. Detailed licensing and version history are provided on the developer’s page.
