AeJuice CRT Effect sits in the Toolfarm library as a single-purpose retro treatment, earning its place for turning vintage CRT monitor styling into a few-clicks effect that carries across After Effects, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro and a long list of other editors.
AeJuice CRT Effect adds a vintage look to footage in After Effects and Premiere Pro, recreating the aesthetic of old-school CRT monitors. Customizable settings let you shape the effect and reach the CRT style you're after in a few clicks.
Beyond Adobe's apps, the effect works with Final Cut Pro 10.4.9 or higher and can be used in other video-editing software in the form of videos with a transparent or black background, including Sony Vegas, Avid, DaVinci Resolve, Apple Motion, OBS, Filmora 9, Photoshop and Movie Maker. It runs on Windows 10 or higher and macOS 10.14 or higher, with M1 and M2 support.
Listed as free in the Toolfarm library, CRT Effect covers a broad set of hosts from a single retro treatment. Before-and-after demo videos are available on the developer's page for anyone weighing up the look.
AeJuice CRT Effect is best for adding a vintage CRT monitor look to footage in After Effects, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro or other video editors that accept transparent- or black-background clips.
AeJuice CRT Effect is completely free to download and use.
AeJuice CRT Effect supports Adobe After Effects from CC 2015 or higher, so a CC 2015 install meets the minimum requirement. It also works with Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2021 or higher and Final Cut Pro 10.4.9 or higher. On the operating-system side, it runs on Windows 10 or higher and macOS 10.14 or higher, including M1 and M2 machines. If your host application and system sit at or above these versions, you're within the supported range for adding the CRT look to your footage.
AeJuice CRT Effect isn't limited to After Effects and Premiere Pro. It can be used in other video-editing software in the form of videos with a transparent or black background, covering apps such as Sony Vegas, Final Cut Pro X, Avid, DaVinci Resolve, Apple Motion and Motion 5, OBS, Filmora 9, Photoshop and Movie Maker. That makes the CRT effect portable across a wide range of editors, provided the host can composite the supplied clips over your footage using their transparent or black background.
AeJuice CRT Effect runs on Windows 10 or higher and on macOS 10.14 or higher, with support for Apple M1 and M2 machines. Alongside those operating systems, it targets Adobe After Effects CC 2015 or higher, Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2021 or higher, and Final Cut Pro 10.4.9 or higher. Checking your OS version against these minimums is a quick way to confirm your setup will handle the plugin before you install it.
AeJuice CRT Effect is listed as free in this catalog, so there's no price attached to the entry here. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the current details it's best to check the developer's page at AEJuice directly. That's also the place to confirm any usage terms tied to CRT Effect before you build it into a client or commercial project.
