: The maps can be used to convert 2D footage into stereoscopic 3D or to create parallax "2.5D" animations. Technical Specifications (v1.2.2)

: The plugin analyzes visual cues in a scene—such as perspective, texture, and object size—to create a grayscale map where lighter pixels represent objects closer to the camera and darker pixels represent those further away.

: The plugin typically includes a "Model" setting (Faster vs. Accurate) and various resolution options (Tiny to Original).

: The "GPU" designation in your file name indicates that this version is hardware-accelerated. It leverages NVIDIA CUDA or Apple Silicon to perform AI calculations significantly faster than the CPU-only version. Creative Applications :

The file refers to a specific version of Depth Scanner , an artificial intelligence-based plugin primarily used in Adobe After Effects . It is designed to automatically generate depth maps (Z-depth passes) from standard 2D video footage or still images. Core Functionality and Features

: Users can add realistic background blur (bokeh) to footage that was originally shot with a deep focus.

: A dedicated "Slicing" mode can isolate specific depth ranges, which is useful for creating unique transitions or "slicing" objects out of a scene.
