Aescripts – Fast Bokeh Pro for After Effects is a complicated plug-in that generates easy Depth of Field bokeh blurs using a Depth Map. It boasts rapid overall performance and specific side handling, offering Gaussian, Spherical, and Polygonal Bokeh Blur with customizable shapes.

Rowbyte – Fast Bokeh Pro Features

• Fast and Efficient Blurring: It promises superior overall performance blur effects regardless of the blur radius applied, keeping rendering instances steady.
• Natural-Looking Edges: It avoids introducing unrealistic rugged edges and halos around blurred items.
• Customizable Bokeh Shapes: It lets you create numerous bokeh shapes, consisting of Gaussian, Spherical, Polygonal (with options like hexagon, pentagon, etc.), and even custom shapes from photos.
• GPU Acceleration: It leverages your snapshot card’s processing strength for faster rendering, requiring the latest GPU with Metal 2 or GL 4.3 support.
• Zone Control: This new feature helps you to define precise regions (zones) inside your scene and practice separate blur outcomes to every sector
