Quick Depth 3 earns its place in the aescripts library for producing depth maps locally, pairing a Time Consistency mode and Quality Boost with speed and quality gains over version 2.
Quick Depth 3 is a depth estimation plugin from Baskl.ai that generates a depth map from any footage inside Adobe After Effects. Rendering happens locally, using either the GPU or CPU, and the plugin runs on Windows and Mac with Apple Silicon.
This version is up to 2x faster than Quick Depth 2 and brings improved quality. It adds a Time Consistency mode for smoother results and a Quality Boost option that processes tiles to pull out more detail.
Quick Depth 3 supports After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024 and 2023. RTX 5000 users have a workaround available on the developer's page, and a demo video accompanies the listing. The most recent update is a Mac-only fix addressing an error on the latest After Effects, and the plugin earns its place in the aescripts library as a fast, local route to depth maps.
