Pixel Sorter 4, from Pixel Sorter Studio, is a pixel-sorting plugin for creating glitch art, digital artifacts and sorted-pixel effects. It runs across After Effects, DaVinci Resolve and Premiere Pro, and also supports Final Cut Pro, Media Encoder, Nuke/NukeX and Photoshop.
The plugin includes constraint masks, stretch mode, noise, animation settings and looks settings, with more control over the sorted-pixel effect. A simple mode offers a less intimidating UI, and recent versions bring faster performance along with a single universal license that covers all supported hosts. It's also compatible with older releases of After Effects and Premiere Pro.
