Pixel Sorter

Primary Keyphrase: gradient generator script

Description:
Download FX Gradient v1.0 for After Effects, the most user-friendly way to create advanced gradient ramps with just a click. This intuitive toolset lets you generate linear, radial, angular, and reflected gradients using 30 carefully handcrafted color presets—plus add special effects like tiling, grain, and turbulence for unique, stylized looks .

Pixel Sorter was the first tool to bring the pixel sorting glitch effect available for motion designers and video editors within After Effects and Premiere Pro. Experimenting with Pixel Sorting just became so much easier! Since its launch, AEPS had a huge success in Broadcast TV, Live performances, VJs, Music Videos, Video Games, Photography and even Apparel! Version 3 brings a lot of new useful features.

FX Gradient streamlines a surprisingly tedious part of After Effects. Unlike the native gradient ramp (which only offers basic linear/radial options and requires manual recentering), this tool gives you one-click access to multiple gradient types with intelligent shortcuts. Shift+Click rotates gradients by 90°, Alt+Click swaps colors instantly, and the preset dropdown lets you test different color schemes on the fly using your keyboard’s up/down arrows .

Key Features of FX Gradient v1.0:

• 4 Gradient Types: Create linear, radial, angular, and reflected ramps with dedicated icon buttons
• 30 Color Presets: 21 basic two-color combinations plus 9 Colorama-based presets for multi-color gradients with individual transparency control
• Smart Shortcuts: Shift+Click rotates gradients 90°, Alt+Click inverts colors—no more manual point tweaking
• Real-Time Preview: Change color presets while your layer is selected and see results immediately; use keyboard arrows to cycle through options
• Special FX Options: Add tiling (with adjustable angle and seamless cycling), artistic grain diffusion, and turbulence effects (amplitude, scale, complexity, evolution) for organic, natural-looking results
• Compatible with YY Ramp+: Works even better with the free YY Ramp+ plugin (also Name Your Own Price) for faster performance and smoother angular/reflected gradients; without it, FX Gradient “mimics” shapes using native effects and expressions
• Lightweight Workflow: Apply gradients without digging through menus—ideal for creating skies, water, wood textures, retro looks, or radar-style angular designs
• Broad Compatibility: Works with After Effects CS6 through 2025

Note for CS6 Users: Color presets appear as text names rather than round icons due to scripting limitations; the effect may show as “missing” but functions perfectly .

Perfect For:

• Motion graphics artists needing quick, flexible gradient generation
• Designers creating backgrounds, textures, and stylized effects
• Anyone frustrated by After Effects’ limited native gradient controls
• Users wanting to experiment with color schemes without manual adjustments

• Adobe After Effects 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, CC 2019, CC 2018, CC 2017, CC 2015.3, CC 2015, CC 2014, CC, CS6
