Diffusae 2 stands out in the aescripts library for bringing generative AI, including a temporal consistency model, into After Effects across versions from 2021 to 2026.
Diffusae 2 is an After Effects plugin from Baskl.ai for working with generative AI directly inside the application. It ships with a temporal consistency model designed to produce smooth videos with minimal jitter from frame to frame, along with faster models and higher-quality SDXL-based options.
The plugin supports downloading custom models from Civitai, and a recent update added a field in the models manager for Civitai tokens so login-only models can be downloaded. It is available for both Windows and Mac, with support for Apple Silicon (M1/M2 and later) and MacOS 11.0.
An NVIDIA GPU with at least 6GB of VRAM is recommended, though the CPU can be used as an alternative. A trial is available to confirm the plugin works on your computer before committing. Diffusae 2 is compatible with After Effects versions from 2021 through 2026.
Diffusae 2 is best for after Effects artists working with generative AI models directly inside the application.
Diffusae 2 is completely free to download and use.
Diffusae 2 recommends an NVIDIA GPU with at least 6GB of VRAM, but this is not strictly required. If a suitable GPU is not available, the CPU can be used instead. Because hardware setups vary, the developer offers a trial so you can confirm the plugin works on your specific computer before relying on it. This lets you check performance and compatibility firsthand rather than guessing whether your system meets the needs.
Diffusae 2 is compatible with After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021, covering several recent releases of the host application. It is available for both Windows and Mac, and on Mac it supports Apple Silicon chips such as the M1 and M2 series along with MacOS 11.0. If you are unsure whether your setup qualifies, the trial can help confirm it runs correctly on your machine.
Diffusae 2 can download custom models from Civitai. A recent update added a field in the models manager for Civitai tokens, which allows you to download login-only models that require authentication. The same update also fixed a bug involving non-ASCII characters, such as Cyrillic, in the models path. Alongside Civitai support, the plugin includes faster models, higher-quality SDXL-based models and a temporal consistency model for smoother video output.
Diffusae 2 is listed as free in this catalog. For current licensing details, check the developer's page directly, as terms can change over time. A trial is also offered so you can confirm the plugin works on your computer before committing, which is useful given that performance depends on whether you have an NVIDIA GPU with at least 6GB of VRAM or plan to run it on the CPU.
