CoreMelt V2 Plugin Set stands out for combining editorial filters, transitions, and audio-reactive meters under a single install, with version 2.7 adding on-screen Shape Masks that keep custom masking inside the plugin.
CoreMelt V2 Plugin Set gathers editing and motion tools for After Effects and Premiere Pro, aimed at Motion Artists and Editors. The set includes a well-designed interface with on-screen curve overlays, filters such as sky replace for enhancing a blown-out sky, advanced vignettes with luma curves, VeeYou meters that react to the audio in a project, transitions, glows, and blurs.
Version 2.7 adds Shape Masks, letting you limit a plugin's area to a custom shape without having to go into Motion or create masks in an external program. Most plugins in Editors Tools V2 and Motion Graphics Box V2 now carry a "use mask" checkbox that opens an on-screen Shape Mask editor. Three new plugins arrive under the C2 Gadget category, Shape Mask Layer, Directional Spotlight, and Local Contrast, alongside new on-screen controls and custom overlays in the C2 Pigment plugins.
The V2 Plugin Set is also offered in a bundle with SliceX, TrackX, DriveX, and the Lock & Load stabilizer. Current CoreMelt versions install through the CoreMelt Manager.
CoreMelt V2 Plugin Set is best for motion artists and editors in After Effects and Premiere Pro who want transitions, vignettes, glows, blurs, and audio-reactive meters in one plugin set.
CoreMelt V2 Plugin Set is completely free to download and use.
CoreMelt V2 Plugin Set runs in After Effects and Premiere Pro, and the same plugins can also be used in Motion 5 or FCP 7 on the same machine. Within FCP X the plugins are available only through Motion Templates, custom parameters are not available, and a few plugins including ImageFlow Fx and VeeYou are not offered in FCP X. If you need those specific plugins, use them in Motion 5, FCP 7, Premiere Pro, or After Effects instead.
CoreMelt V2 Plugin Set installs through the CoreMelt Manager on macOS, and CoreMelt's system requirements vary by product. The listed requirements cover Apple Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, with different CoreMelt tools calling for different minimum macOS versions, ranging from Mojave (10.14) to Catalina (10.15) or later depending on the product. Because the V2 Plugin Set's own minimum is not fully spelled out in this listing, check the developer's page for the exact operating system it needs on your machine.
CoreMelt V2 Plugin Set installs through the CoreMelt Manager, which is used for the latest versions of CoreMelt products. For older versions, CoreMelt points to a separate support article covering the earlier install method. Once installed, the plugins appear in the effects browser of your host application, including the C2 Gadget category that holds the newer Shape Mask Layer, Directional Spotlight, and Local Contrast plugins.

Because listings can change, treat the developer's page as the source of truth for what is included and how it is licensed.
