Recursive Mosaic V1.3.0

Recursive Mosaic V1.3.0

Download Recursive Mosaic V1.3.0, a powerful After Effects and Premiere Pro plugin that reinvents traditional pixelization through intelligent recursive grid subdivision . Unlike standard mosaic filters, this innovative tool divides images into grids and repeatedly subdivides squares based on detail levels—preserving important image features while creating novel pixelated aesthetics or authentic JPEG artifact simulations .

Recursive mosaic subdivides the grid further to preserve or discard as much image detail as you like. Useful for novel pixelization effects or jpeg artifacts simulation.

Key Features of Recursive Mosaic V1.3.0:

• Intelligent Recursive Algorithm: Divides images into grids and subdivides squares until reaching specified detail levels, preserving important visual information while pixelating
• Channel-Specific Control: Apply effects to individual color channels (Luminosity, RGB, Red, Green, Blue, Alpha) for precise color manipulation
• Mosaic Intensity: Adjustable parameter from 0 (original image) to 1 (maximum block size) for complete control over pixelation strength
• External Intensity Sources: Use other layers or Premiere tracks as sources for the mosaic effect
• Customizable Grid: Independent control over Grid Width and Grid Height for initial horizontal and vertical subdivisions
• Maximum Iterations: Limit algorithm recursion—lower values for large blocks, higher values for finer sub-block details
• Curve Modulation System: Map block complexity to mosaic threshold with Curve, Curve Phase, and Curve Smoothness parameters
• Curve Phase Split (RGB): New in v1.3.0—additional curve phase shift for Red/Blue components when filtering RGB channels, enabling extra colorizing effects
• Visual Curve Graph: Real-time visualization of curve mapping for intuitive adjustments
• Multi-Frame Rendering Support: Optimized for modern After Effects rendering pipelines
• Universal Platform Support: Works on Windows, macOS Intel, and macOS Apple Silicon

Perfect For:

• Motion designers seeking novel pixelation aesthetics
• VFX artists simulating authentic JPEG compression artifacts
• Editors creating stylized, glitch-inspired visuals
• Content producers wanting intelligent detail preservation in mosaic effects
• Anyone needing more sophisticated pixelization than standard mosaic filters

System Requirements:

• Fixed crash for unregistered versions with composition heights exceeding 4096 pixels
• Updated Aescripts framework v4.0.7 for improved license check stability

How it works

Recursive mosaic divides the image into a grid and further subdivides the squares (or rectangles) until it reaches the specified detail level. This makes the image look pixelated, yet important image details can be preserved.

Available parameters rundown

• Channels allow you to specify which color channels should the effect be applied to. This can be one of:
  • Luminosity – use all color channels in sync
  • RGB – use color channels separately
  • red, green, blue and alpha – the effect is applied only to the selected channel
• Mosaic intensity determines how blocky the image should be. 0 preserves the original image, 1 allows only the largest blocks specified by the grid
• Intensity Source allows you to use a different layer (or a track in Premiere) as a source for the mosaic effect
• Grid Width – the number of initial horizontal subdivisions of the mosaic
• Grid Height – the number of initial vertical subdivisions
• Maximum Iterations – limits the number of recursions of the algorithm. Lower values generate only large blocks, larger values produce finer sub-blocks.
• Curve – specifies how the block complexity is mapped to the mosaic threshold. When the threshold value is below mosaic intensity, it’s displayed with solid average color. Otherwise, the process repeats in new subdivided blocks. (details in the manual)
• Curve Phase – offsets the curve by a set amount of degrees. (details in the manual)
• Curve Smoothness – helpful for smoothly connecting the beginning and the end of discontinuous curves (linear ramps and exponentials) or smoothing out a triangular curve.
• Curve Phase Split (RGB) – can be used when filtering RGB channels for an extra colorizing effect by utilizing an additional shift of curve phase for R and B channels.
• Curve Graph – visualizes the curve mapping for your convenience.
