Freeframe, that great open-source video effects plugin system for your favourite VJ app or NLE (and championed by developers from VJamm and Resolume) now comes in a new flavour: After Effects!
BigFug (an active FreeFrame plugin developer) has released a beta of the After Effects Freeframe Host. It’s, well, free while in beta. The full version will cost money, however this money will let you run loads of free and commercial plugins. I’m not sure how this implementation differs from Pete Warden’s AFX Freeframe Host, as I don’t have it installed at the moment. But I shall do some testing and see how they stack up.
If you want to do some Freeframe testing of your own, here are some notable gratis ones to get you started:
VisualVinyl
BigFug’s Freeframe Plugins for Windows Freeframe Hoses
Syzygy StripShow
For an example of the incredibly expensive ones commercial plugins available, check out VJFX FreeFrame Pack v2.0. 50ish plugins for 75 euro, those capitalist pigs!
