Why we like it

Mask Prompter earns its place through its prompt-driven approach to mattes, built on Segment Anything 3 and covering text, box, and concept prompting. It ranks 19 on toolfarm, and a demo video is available.

What is Mask Prompter?

Mask Prompter is a plugin from Blace Plugins for After Effects and Premiere Pro that generates mattes through prompting. Built on Segment Anything 3, it supports text prompting, box and concept prompting, and a detection threshold slider. You can produce multi object mattes from text, draw rectangles and adjust them with a rectangle scale slider, and the plugin includes multiple object detection models.

On the performance side, Mask Prompter runs in a CPU mode and also offers hardware acceleration. On Windows, an Nvidia graphics card is required for the GPU version, while systems with other GPUs fall back to CPU mode. A CUDA Memory Sharing option accelerates rendering of big resolutions above 4k on CUDA, and a Stop Processing button cancels long-running computations immediately. GPU mode may not be as stable as CPU mode.

Mask Prompter supports After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, and 2023, plus Premiere Pro 2026 and 2025. The trial is fully functional with a blue cross watermark that clears once a valid license is entered, so the developer recommends testing your configuration before purchasing. The current version is 3.4.59, and a demo video is available.

Frequently asked questions

Does Mask Prompter work with After Effects 2023 and Premiere Pro 2025?

Mask Prompter supports After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, and 2023, as well as Premiere Pro 2026 and 2025. Premiere Pro compatibility was added in version 3.4.47 and comes with some limitations, which Blace Plugins documents on its page. Before buying, the developer recommends testing your specific configuration with the free trial. The current version listed here is 3.4.59, updated June 17, 2026, so checking the developer's page confirms the latest supported hosts.

Does Mask Prompter need an Nvidia GPU?

Mask Prompter offers a CPU mode alongside hardware acceleration. On Windows, an Nvidia graphics card is needed for the GPU version of the plugin. Windows systems with other GPUs can run CPU mode but not hardware acceleration. Keep in mind that GPU mode may not be as stable as CPU mode. For big resolutions above 4k on CUDA, a CUDA Memory Sharing option can accelerate rendering, which arrived in version 3.4.45.

Is Mask Prompter free?

Mask Prompter is listed as free in this catalog. The trial is fully functional and adds a blue cross watermark, which is removed once a valid license is entered, so you can run every feature before deciding. The developer also recommends testing your configuration with the trial first. For current licensing terms, check the developer's page rather than relying on any figure quoted elsewhere.

How do I cancel a long render in Mask Prompter?

Mask Prompter includes a Stop Processing button, introduced in version 3.4.51, that cancels long-running computations immediately. Recent releases also improved feedback about out-of-memory situations and fixed a crash that could sometimes occur on very long renders. If you work with heavy sequences, updating to version 3.4.59 brings these stability and reporting changes. Blace Plugins publishes a full change log documenting each fix and update.
