ClearPlus earns a spot in the aescripts library for a focused job: clearing haze and lifting low-light and underwater footage across both After Effects and Premiere Pro. The 2.0 update added an advanced dehaze mode with less halo and modes to reduce flickering, and it's listed as free here.
ClearPlus is a video enhancement plugin for Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro from developer vimager. It's built to improve footage that is hazy, shot underwater, or captured in low light.
The plugin includes an advanced dehaze mode designed to reduce halo effects, along with advanced contrast and histogram modes that work to eliminate flickering. A details slider gives further control over the result. On the technical side, ClearPlus supports Multi-Frame Rendering and runs natively on Apple M1 Silicon. A demo video is available.
Version 2.2.1 fixed a crash that occurred in nested compositions. Compatibility spans After Effects 2021 through 2026 and Premiere Pro 2020 through 2026, so it covers a wide range of recent Adobe releases. On aescripts it sits at popularity rank 79.
ClearPlus is best for editors and compositors cleaning up hazy, underwater or low-light footage in After Effects or Premiere Pro.
ClearPlus is completely free to download and use.
ClearPlus supports After Effects versions 2021 through 2026 and Premiere Pro versions 2020 through 2026. That range covers the 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 releases on the Premiere side and 2021 onward in After Effects, so recent installations of either application are covered. If you're on a build older than those listed, check the developer's page to confirm before installing.
ClearPlus added support for Apple M1 Silicon in version 2.2, so it runs natively on those Macs. The same update introduced Multi-Frame Rendering support along with a new details slider. Earlier releases also addressed macOS compatibility, including support for macOS 10.15 Catalina. The most recent release, version 2.2.1 from November 2022, fixed a crash that happened in nested compositions. For current system details beyond these points, the developer's page on aescripts is the best reference.
ClearPlus is listed as free in this catalog. For current licensing terms and any usage conditions, check the developer's page on aescripts, since licensing can change over time and this listing may not reflect the latest terms. The plugin's version history shows license library upgrades in past releases, including a license lib update in version 2.1 and an earlier fix for a license-related crash on macOS. The specifics of current licensing, though, are best confirmed directly at the source.
ClearPlus introduced its advanced dehaze mode in version 2.0, and it's designed to produce less halo effects than before. The same 2.0 update also added advanced contrast and histogram modes aimed at eliminating flickering. These sit alongside the plugin's core purpose of enhancing hazy, underwater and low-light footage. A details slider, added later in version 2.2, offers additional control over the result.
