Modulation 2 stands out in the aescripts library because it applies a modulation effect through a true physical modulation and demodulation algorithm without requiring coding, and version 2.1.0 extends it to cover both After Effects and Premiere Pro.
Modulation 2 is a plugin for After Effects that applies a modulation effect to video without any coding skills. It works from a true physical modulation and demodulation algorithm, with controls for omega, phase and distortion shaping the result.
The plugin includes five color modes: Greyscale, RGB, CMY, CMYK and HSV, along with switchable channels. Wave movement runs in forward and backward directions, and waves can sit in vertical or horizontal orientations, set through direction and orientation parameters. Lowpass filtering is handled by three checkboxes plus one adjustable lowpass filter.
Version 2.1.0 added Premiere Pro support, extending the plugin beyond After Effects. Compatibility spans After Effects and Premiere Pro from CC 2014 through 2026. It is available in the aescripts library.
Modulation 2 is best for creating a modulation effect on video in After Effects and Premiere Pro without any coding skills.
Modulation 2 is completely free to download and use.
Modulation 2 supports After Effects versions from CC 2014 through 2026, including CC 2015, CC 2015.3, CC 2017, CC 2018, CC 2019, and the 2020 through 2025 releases. As of version 2.1.0, it also works with Premiere Pro across the same range, 2026 back to CC 2014.

Modulation 2 added Premiere Pro support in version 2.1.0, released on August 5, 2025. Alongside After Effects, it runs across Premiere Pro releases from CC 2014 through 2026, matching the After Effects compatibility range. Earlier versions focused on After Effects, so Premiere Pro users should be on 2.1.0 or later to access the plugin. Within Premiere Pro it applies the same modulation effect built on a true physical modulation and demodulation algorithm. For the current version and licensing, see the developer's page.
