High Pass earns a spot in the aescripts library for its wide After Effects compatibility, spanning CS6 through 2024, plus native Apple M1 support, offered on a free listing here.
High Pass is a high pass filter effect for Adobe After Effects, developed by BGRA Entertainment. The catalog lists it as free, so you can add it to your effects toolkit without a set price.
Compatibility runs across a broad span of After Effects releases, from CS6 up through the 2024 version, along with 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020, plus the CC, CC 2014, and CC 2015 through CC 2019 range. On macOS, the plugin includes native Apple M1 support, added in the 1.3 release.
The current version is 1.3, updated in May 2022. Earlier updates fixed a VRAM leak on newer systems and handled notarization so the plugin stays compatible with macOS Catalina and later. For current licensing terms, check the developer's page.
High Pass is best for after Effects artists who need a high pass filter effect with broad version compatibility, including native Apple M1 support on macOS.
High Pass is completely free to download and use.
High Pass added native Apple M1 support in its 1.3 release, published in May 2022. That means the effect runs on M1 Macs without relying on translation. Earlier updates also handled notarization so the plugin works on macOS Catalina and later, and fixed a VRAM leak reported on newer systems. If you're on an Apple Silicon machine, the 1.3 version is the one to use. For details on the current build, check the developer's page.
High Pass covers a wide range of Adobe After Effects releases. Compatibility spans CS6, CC, CC 2014, CC 2015, CC 2015.3, CC 2017, CC 2018, CC 2019, and 2020 through 2024. That range makes it usable on both older and current After Effects installs. If you're unsure which build matches your version, the developer's page lists the supported releases in full.
High Pass is listed here as free, so there's no set price required to add it to After Effects. The developer offers it on a pay-what-you-want basis, meaning you decide what to contribute. Licensing terms can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current arrangement before you download. The listing here reflects a free entry at the time of writing.
High Pass was notarized to make it compatible with macOS Catalina and above, addressed in an early update. A later release also fixed a VRAM leak reported on newer systems. If you're running a recent version of macOS, the current 1.3 build carries these fixes plus native Apple M1 support. For the most up-to-date compatibility notes, see the developer's page.
