Breeze earns its place in the aescripts library for a focused set of wave animation controls, including four-direction movement and both Mask and Overall modes, with compatibility spanning After Effects 2021 through 2025.
Breeze is an After Effects plugin by aeHamid for building wavy animations. It creates wave movement in four directions and can be applied in two modes: Mask, which targets a layer's masks, and Overall. The plugin also supports a two-way breeze.
You can apply multiple breezes on a single layer's masks, and Breeze ships with several presets covering different waves. These give you a starting point without setting each animation up by hand. A demo video is available on the developer's page if you want to see the plugin before installing.
Breeze is at version 1.0.1, last updated on February 17, 2025, a release that fixed some minor bugs following the initial 1.0 launch in November 2023. It is compatible with After Effects 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, and this catalog lists it as free. For current licensing details, check the developer's page.
Breeze is best for after Effects artists creating wavy animations with masks or whole layers.
Breeze is completely free to download and use.
Breeze is compatible with After Effects 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, covering several recent releases of the application. The current version is 1.0.1, last updated on February 17, 2025, which fixed some minor bugs following the original 1.0 release in November 2023. If you are running one of those supported versions, the plugin should work with your setup; check the developer's page for any further requirement details before installing.
Breeze can be applied in two modes, Mask and Overall, so it covers both approaches. In Mask mode you can apply multiple breezes on a single layer's masks. It also creates wave movement in four directions and supports a two-way breeze. Between the two modes, the four directions, and the two-way option, you have several ways to shape how the wavy animation is applied to your composition.
Breeze contains several presets ready for different waves, so you can start from a prepared setup rather than building each wave from scratch. Alongside the presets, the plugin offers wave movement in four directions, a two-way breeze, and two application modes for masks or the overall layer. These options let you pick a preset as a starting point and then work within Breeze's available controls to create wavy animations in After Effects.
Breeze is listed as free in this catalog. Pricing and licensing terms can change over time, so for the current details and any conditions of use, check the developer's page on aescripts. That page is also where you can find the demo video and confirm the latest version and compatibility information before you download and install the plugin into your After Effects setup.
