Stands out in the Toolfarm library for combining Photoshop and After Effects into a single watercolor workflow with four ready-made animation categories.
AEJuice Watercolor Effect creates artistic watercolor designs from your photos and animates them in one click. It runs on a workflow that draws on both Photoshop and After Effects to produce detailed results.
The plugin offers four animation categories. Reveal is a 10-second animation that transforms a design to look like it's being created before your eyes. Freeze-frame pulls a single frame and turns it into a watercolor design with text, suited to movie titles or call outs. Infinite Slideshow builds a slideshow with unlimited slides from your designs or from blank slides. Logo Sting produces a logo sting from a logo or designs in minutes.
For the best results, high-resolution photos in the 1500px to 3500px range are recommended, with 2000px to 3500px as the optimal range. For HD video, at least an i5 processor with 12GB of RAM or more is suggested; for 4K, an i7 with 16GB and preferably 32GB or more, since working with 4K elements is resource-intensive.
AEJuice Watercolor Effect is best for artists creating watercolor-style designs and animations from photos in After Effects.
AEJuice Watercolor Effect is completely free to download and use.
AEJuice Watercolor Effect recommends at least an i5 processor with 12GB of RAM or more for optimal HD video performance. For 4K, an i7 processor with at least 16GB of RAM is recommended, though 32GB or more is preferable. Working with 4K elements is resource-intensive and suited to advanced After Effects users, so having hardware headroom matters if you plan to work at that resolution.
AEJuice Watercolor Effect works best with high-resolution photos in the range of 1500px to 3500px, and the optimal range is 2000px to 3500px. Feeding in images within these dimensions helps produce the detailed watercolor results the tool is built around. If your source photos fall below this range, results may be less detailed, so it's worth starting from higher-resolution images where you can.
AEJuice Watercolor Effect includes four animation categories: Reveal, Freeze-frame, Infinite Slideshow, and Logo Sting. Reveal is a 10-second animation that transforms a design to look like it's being created before your eyes. Freeze-frame turns a single frame into a watercolor design with text. Infinite Slideshow builds a slideshow with unlimited slides, and Logo Sting produces a logo sting from a logo or designs in minutes.
