Depth Scanner 2 V2.6.58 for After Effects and Premiere Pro

The Ultimate AI-Powered Depth Map Generator and Post-Processing Tool

Download Depth Scanner 2 V2.6.58 today. Consequently, you can instantly create accurate depth maps from any video or image using advanced artificial intelligence, unlocking a world of post-processing possibilities without manual rotoscoping or complex 3D setups . Because professional compositors, colorists, and VFX artists frequently need to add depth-based effects like fog, depth of field, and 3D parallax, having access to a reliable, automated depth estimation tool is absolutely essential . Nevertheless, manually generating depth maps for every shot is an incredibly time-consuming and often impractical task. Fortunately, Depth Scanner 2 eliminates this bottleneck completely. Moreover, this latest version introduces a brand-new video depth estimation model designed for flicker-free results across multiple frames, along with support for Depth Anything v3 and a total of eight different AI models to suit any footage . In short, you can transform ordinary footage into depth-rich elements ready for sophisticated post-processing with unprecedented speed and accuracy.

Advanced AI Depth Estimation with Flicker-Free Video Models

The core of this plugin lies in its sophisticated AI engine, which has been refined to handle the unique challenges of video. For instance, unlike image-only depth tools that produce inconsistent results frame-by-frame, Depth Scanner 2 includes a dedicated video depth estimation model that ensures temporal stability and flicker-free playback . Furthermore, you can choose from a total of eight different AI models, including the newly added Depth Anything v3, allowing you to find the perfect match for your specific footage type and lighting conditions . Since the plugin runs entirely on your local machine, you can process sensitive or confidential footage without ever uploading it to the cloud .

Versatile Post-Processing and Creative Applications

Once your depth map is generated, Depth Scanner 2 opens up a vast array of creative possibilities. For example, you can add realistic atmospheric fog, create cinematic depth of field effects by combining the depth map with After Effects’ native Camera Lens Blur, and even convert 2D footage to stereo 3D . Additionally, you can create striking slice effects that separate parts of your footage based on pixel depth, apply depth-based color grading to control the intensity of effects, and generate 3D parallax movement for a sense of dimensionality . With over 20 different color maps available, you can use them for easy visual guidance or as vibrant, artistic effects .

Powerful GPU Acceleration and Cross-Platform Support

Professional workflows demand speed and reliability, and Depth Scanner 2 delivers on both fronts. The plugin supports hardware acceleration on both NVIDIA and AMD GPUs for Windows, as well as Apple Silicon on macOS, providing orders of magnitude faster performance compared to CPU-only processing . Furthermore, the plugin is now fully compatible with Premiere Pro, allowing you to integrate depth-based effects directly into your editing workflow . For macOS users, native Apple Silicon support ensures optimal performance on M-series chips, though a minimum of 16GB of RAM is recommended for the best experience .

Perfect for VFX Artists, Colorists, and Motion Designers

This plugin is particularly well-suited for VFX artists and compositors who need to integrate elements seamlessly using depth-based mattes . Similarly, colorists will appreciate the ability to apply depth-based grading for nuanced, atmospheric looks. Additionally, motion designers and content creators can leverage the plugin for creative effects like tilt-shift, 3D parallax, and depth-driven transitions. Ultimately, Depth Scanner 2 V2.6.58 accelerates your entire post-production and compositing pipeline.

System Requirements and Compatibility

Depth Scanner 2 V2.6.58 supports After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, and 2023, as well as Premiere Pro 2026 and 2025 . The plugin is available for Windows and macOS . For GPU acceleration on Windows, an NVIDIA GPU with at least 8GB of VRAM is recommended, while AMD GPUs are supported for specific models . On macOS, Apple Silicon with macOS Sequoia or newer and at least 16GB of RAM is recommended .

Installation and Usage Guide

To install, first download the plugin installer from your library. Next, close Adobe After Effects or Premiere Pro if they are running.
