Parallaxer: Instant 2.5D Parallax in After Effects

Parallaxer distributes layers in Z depth and rigs them for smooth 2.5D parallax in After Effects. See what it does and how to get it.

Parallaxer turns flat, layered artwork into a 2.5D scene in After Effects. It distributes your layers in Z depth and rigs them so a camera move produces smooth, believable parallax.

Depth without the manual setup

Positioning dozens of layers in 3D by hand is slow. Parallaxer automates the spacing and gives you control over the strength of the effect, so cinematic depth is only a few clicks away.

Where it fits

Illustrated scenes, title backgrounds and any layered artwork that would benefit from camera-driven depth.
