Oscilloscope earns its place in the aescripts library as a focused effect for producing analog oscilloscope traces inside After Effects. It arrived as version 1.0 in May 2026 and supports a long list of releases, from CC 2014 to 2026.
Oscilloscope is a plugin for After Effects that renders a glowing analog oscilloscope trace from images, audio, or paths. Its signal response setting shapes the result toward authentic CRT-style motion, built around an analog aesthetic.
You can fine-tune beam width, phosphor fade, flicker, and curvature to shape the trace, alongside signal response. These controls cover characteristic traits of an analog oscilloscope display, from the width of the line to the way it fades and flickers.
This is version 1.0, the initial release dated May 13, 2026. It runs across a wide span of After Effects versions, from CC 2014 through 2026, covering more than a decade of the application, and is listed here as free. For current licensing and more detail on the controls, check the developer's page.
Oscilloscope is best for motion designers who want a glowing analog oscilloscope trace built from images, audio, or paths, with adjustable CRT-style styling in After Effects.
Oscilloscope is completely free to download and use.
Oscilloscope supports a broad range of After Effects releases, including 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020, plus the older CC line back through CC 2019, 2018, 2017, 2015.3, 2015, and 2014. That coverage spans more than a decade of the application, so most current and legacy After Effects installs should be able to load it. For the definitive, up-to-date compatibility list, check the developer's page before installing.
Oscilloscope is listed here as free. Pricing and licensing terms can change over time, so for the current details and any conditions attached to use, check the developer's page. This card avoids stating a specific figure because the free listing is what applies in this catalog. If you plan to use it in commercial work, confirm the licensing on the developer's page so it fits your project.
Oscilloscope turns images, audio, or paths into a glowing analog oscilloscope trace. Those three source types are what it accepts as input. Whether you start from a still image, an audio signal, or a path, the output is the same style of analog trace, shaped toward CRT-style motion through the plugin's signal response setting. For more detail on how each source type behaves and what results it produces, check the developer's page.
Oscilloscope gives you control over beam width, phosphor fade, flicker, curvature, and signal response. Adjusting these lets you shape the trace toward an authentic CRT-style look and tune how the display behaves. Together they cover the core characteristics of an analog oscilloscope, from the width of the line to the way it fades and flickers. The developer's page has more on how each control affects the result.
