Why we like it

DeepClear earns a spot in the toolfarm library as an AI video enhancement plugin that combines deblurring, denoising, and contrast enhancement for both After Effects and Premiere Pro. Because it's GPU accelerated and performance varies by card, with some GPUs unsupported, trying the available demo before committing is the sensible first step. A demo video is also available.

What is DeepClear?

DeepClear by vimager is an AI-powered video enhancement plugin for After Effects and Premiere Pro. It applies advanced deep learning algorithms to enhance image details, reduce noise, and improve contrast, bundling three features into one tool: deblurring, noise reduction, and contrast enhancement.

The deblurring feature sharpens blurry footage, fixing out-of-focus images and removing motion blur. It works on general images, portraits, text, and cartoons without introducing artifacts or halos. AI-driven noise reduction removes noise, including grain from low light and high ISO settings, while keeping details intact and avoiding blur. Contrast enhancement boosts image contrast using a histogram equalization algorithm that preserves a natural look.

DeepClear is GPU accelerated and available for both Mac and Windows. Performance depends heavily on the GPU, and some cards are not supported, so the developer recommends checking the GPU requirements and trying a demo before purchasing.

Who is DeepClear best for?

DeepClear is best for after Effects and Premiere Pro users who want to sharpen footage, reduce noise, and boost contrast using AI, on Mac or Windows with a supported GPU.

How much does DeepClear cost?

DeepClear is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Which After Effects and Premiere Pro versions does DeepClear support?

DeepClear supports a broad range of Adobe releases: After Effects 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, along with Premiere Pro 2020 through 2026. The plugin covers the recent generations of both applications, so most current installations are supported. If you run a release outside this range, check the developer's page to confirm compatibility before installing, since support can vary by version and system.

Does DeepClear require a specific GPU?

DeepClear is GPU accelerated, and its performance depends heavily on your GPU. Some GPU cards are not supported, so the developer recommends checking the GPU requirements before purchasing. It's also worth trying a demo of DeepClear first to confirm the tool runs well on your hardware. For the full list of supported cards and system details, refer to the system requirements on the developer's page.

Is DeepClear available on both Mac and Windows?

DeepClear is available for both Mac and Windows, running as a GPU-accelerated plugin inside After Effects and Premiere Pro on either platform. The same enhancement features, deblurring, noise reduction, and contrast enhancement, are available across both systems. Because performance is tied to your GPU, the developer suggests reviewing the GPU requirements and trying a demo before committing, regardless of which platform you use.

Is DeepClear free?

DeepClear is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing and availability can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current terms before downloading. The developer also encourages trying a demo of DeepClear ahead of any purchase, since performance depends on your GPU and some cards are not supported. Confirming both the license and hardware compatibility upfront helps avoid surprises.
