Zaebects Oscilloscope stands out in the toolfarm library for combining four signal source types with detailed beam, phosphor, and curvature controls, giving After Effects artists a single generator for analog CRT-style traces.
Zaebects Oscilloscope is an After Effects plugin that renders images, audio, paths, and test signals as glowing analog oscilloscope traces. It reads source-layer edges, drives motion from signal inputs, and renders the result like a phosphor CRT trace.
Signal sources let you choose between a built-in test signal, a picture signal from a source layer, audio, or a path. Gain and threshold shape the input before it becomes visible: picture threshold controls edge sensitivity, while gain adjusts picture, audio, and path signal strength. Trace construction settings govern signal resolution, steps per loop, and beam point density, producing high-resolution looping beam paths.
Beam timing controls scan speed through trace frequency and how long an old trace lingers through phosphor fade time. Beam-look parameters set width, brightness, intensity flicker, curvature gain, and transparent output. It suits oscilloscope-style titles, signal graphics, image contours, abstract beam motion, and transparent CRT overlays.
Zaebects Oscilloscope is best for oscilloscope-style titles, signal graphics, image contours, abstract beam motion, and transparent CRT overlays.
Zaebects Oscilloscope is completely free to download and use.
Zaebects Oscilloscope lists compatibility with After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020, along with the older CC releases: CC 2019, CC 2018, CC 2017, CC 2015.3, CC 2015, and CC 2014. That range covers current and legacy versions, so most active After Effects installations should be supported. If you run a build outside this list, check the developer's page before installing to confirm it works with your setup.
Zaebects Oscilloscope is listed as free in this catalog, so you can add it without a purchase here. Licensing terms can change over time, though, and the details shown here may not reflect the developer's latest arrangement. For current licensing, any usage conditions, and the most recent download, check the developer's page directly before relying on it for a production project.
Zaebects Oscilloscope can generate a trace from four signal sources: a built-in test signal, a picture signal from a source layer, an audio signal, or a path signal. Before the signal becomes a visible beam, gain and threshold shape it: picture threshold controls edge sensitivity, while gain adjusts picture, audio, and path signal strength. This lets you draw from layer edges, sound, or vector paths depending on the look you want.
Zaebects Oscilloscope includes a transparent output option among its beam-look parameters, and transparent CRT overlays are one of its listed uses. Alongside transparency, the beam-look controls set width, brightness, intensity flicker, and curvature gain, while phosphor fade time governs how long an old trace remains visible. Together these render the trace like a phosphor CRT, which you can layer over other footage as an overlay.
