Why we like it

Voxel Sorter Pro ranks 9th on aescripts, and the Pro tier extends the base voxel effect with Depth of Field, Motion Blur and Depth pass generation.

What is Voxel Sorter Pro?

Voxel Sorter Pro converts footage into a tiny voxel world that you can tilt, light and pixel-sort in 3D. It runs in After Effects, DaVinci Resolve and Premiere Pro, and this Pro version adds Depth of Field, Motion Blur and Depth pass generation on top of the base effect.

Recent updates broadened what the Pro tier can do. Version 1.9.0 introduced Blend params for smoothly transitioning in and out of Voxel Sorter, and made Generate Depth (Pro) work in 16-bit. The same release lowered GPU memory use on DaVinci Resolve 16-bit paths and stopped crashes on GPU out-of-memory. Version 1.9.1 then fixed depth map generation on Mac.

Compatibility spans After Effects 2026 through 2022, DaVinci Resolve 21 through 18, Premiere Pro 2026 through 2022, Media Encoder 2026 through 2022, and Nuke/NukeX 17.0 through 13.2. A demo video is available, and Voxel Sorter Pro ranks 9th on aescripts.

Who is Voxel Sorter Pro best for?

Voxel Sorter Pro is best for editors and artists in After Effects, DaVinci Resolve or Premiere Pro who want to convert footage into a tiltable, pixel-sortable 3D voxel world.

How much does Voxel Sorter Pro cost?

Voxel Sorter Pro is completely free to download and use.
