Why we like it

Feedback Studio earns its place in the aescripts library as a GPU-accelerated take on video feedback, bundling keying, transform, mirror and look controls into one After Effects plugin.

What is Feedback Studio?

Feedback Studio, from Melted Electronics, is a video echo and feedback plugin for After Effects that generates feedback fractals, trails and tunnels. It runs GPU-accelerated for real-time performance and supports After Effects 2020 through 2026.

The plugin includes integrated Luma and Chroma keying, along with feedback translation on the X and Y axes, zoom and rotation. Three mirror modes produce fractal and kaleidoscopic imagery, while Hue, Saturation and Brightness controls adjust the feedback. A negative filter with recursion, plus blur and sharpen, add to the processing options.

Version 1.2.0 added a Remove Source toggle, currently on Windows only. Feedback Studio sits at rank 558 in the aescripts library, and a demo video is available. It's listed as free here, so check the developer's page for current licensing.

Does Feedback Studio work with After Effects 2026?

Feedback Studio lists compatibility with After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020, so recent and several older releases are covered. The plugin is GPU-accelerated for real-time performance while you build feedback fractals, trails and tunnels, and version 1.2.0 is the current release. If you're on a specific build, confirm against the developer's page before installing, since supported versions can change with future updates.

Is the Remove Source toggle in Feedback Studio available on macOS?

Feedback Studio added a Remove Source toggle in version 1.2.0, released on February 12, 2026, but for now it's available on Windows only. The initial release, version 1.1.0, arrived on February 10, 2026. If you work on macOS and want that toggle, keep in mind it hasn't been extended beyond Windows yet, so check the developer's page for the latest platform status before you plan around it.

Is Feedback Studio free?

Feedback Studio is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so check the developer's page on aescripts for current details before you download. The plugin handles video echo and feedback for After Effects, covering integrated Luma and Chroma keying, feedback translation with zoom and rotation, three mirror modes, Hue, Saturation and Brightness controls, blur, sharpen, and a negative filter with recursion. A demo video is also available.

Is Feedback Studio GPU-accelerated?

Feedback Studio is GPU-accelerated for real-time performance, so its feedback processing is designed to run on the graphics hardware while you work. That covers the feedback fractals, trails and tunnels it generates, along with the keying, transform, mirror and look controls. A minimum GPU model isn't specified here, so if you need specific hardware requirements, check the developer's page on aescripts before installing to be sure your setup is supported.
