What It Does
Quick Depth 3 analyzes footage and generates depth maps that represent the distance of objects from the camera. These maps drive effects that respond to spatial information, like selective blur, parallax animation, or displacement. The plugin processes locally on GPU or CPU and works with both moving footage and still images.
Key Features
Time Consistency mode processes sequences frame by frame with awareness of previous frames, reducing flickering in the depth map over time. Useful for keeping effects stable across cuts or camera motion.
Quality Boost breaks the frame into tiles and processes them separately to extract finer details in the depth map. This helps with complex scenes where small objects or edges need precision.
Colormaps let you visualize the depth data in different color schemes, making it easier to check accuracy or use the map creatively as a look.
V3 model runs up to 2x faster than the previous version while improving the quality of the depth estimation, especially in challenging lighting or edge cases.
Who It’s For
Motion designers adding depth of field to shots that were captured flat. VFX artists who need spatial data for compositing elements that interact with foreground and background layers. Anyone working with still photos who wants to animate a parallax effect or fake camera movement.
