What It Does
Voxel Sorter Pro takes a flat video clip and extrudes it into a field of 3D blocks, where pixel brightness drives depth and color becomes geometry. The result is a cube-sculpted, miniature version of your footage that you can tilt, relight, and navigate with a camera. On top of that, a sort axis lets you drag colors through the voxel structure, producing streaks of migrating geometry somewhere between Minecraft, a blueprint render, and a corrupted file.
The Pro version adds three features that the standard edition lacks: AI-generated depth, motion blur, and depth of field.
Key Features
AI Depth Generation. Estimates scene depth directly inside the plugin, no external depth-map plugin required. This is the foundation for the 3D extrusion.
Depth of Field. Applies a depth-aware blur to the voxel world with multiple adjustable settings, useful for isolating a subject or selling the miniature scale effect.
Motion Blur. Blends the voxel structure with the comp’s camera movement, keeping animated shots from looking artificially sharp.
3D Pixel Sorting. Drag a sort axis through the voxel field and colors migrate up, down, or front to back, leaving geometric streaks that read as half-painted, half-built distortion.
Who It’s For
Motion designers looking for a distinct visual treatment for music videos, title sequences, or broadcast idents. The look is specific but hard to replicate by hand, and the AI depth generation means you can get a working result from ordinary footage without prepping a depth pass in a separate app. It works across After Effects, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Nuke.
