But, wouldn&#8217;t it be awesome if we could instantly create depth passes from any video clip or image? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, now we can. And the results are stunning. <a href=\"https:\/\/aescripts.com\/depth-scanner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Depth Scanner<\/a> is a brand new After Effects plugin from <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BlacePlugins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Blace Plugins<\/a>. You can instantly create Z-depth passes on any video footage or image with it. You can then use the depth passes with other effects to create amazing visuals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s check it out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OLV8Q93KKHQ?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"what-is-depth-scanner\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Depth Scanner?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aescripts.com\/depth-scanner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Depth Scanner<\/a> is an After Effects plugin that uses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/artificial-intelligence-and-motion-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">artificial intelligence<\/a> to automatically generate a depth pass on any video clip or photo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short, the plugin analyzes the clip and detects what parts of the shot are closest to the camera.

After installing the plugin, select your video clip or image in After Effects, then apply the <strong>Depth Scanner<\/strong> effect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Immediately, you&#8217;ll see a low-resolution depth pass. To increase the resolution, just adjust the <strong>Resolution<\/strong> setting. I recommend setting it to <strong>Large<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-Depth-Map.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"755\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-Depth-Map.jpg\" alt=\"An example of a depth map generated by Depth Scanner - a silhouetted dark figure on a white background\" class=\"wp-image-162857\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-Depth-Map.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-Depth-Map.jpg?resize=300,179 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-Depth-Map.jpg?resize=277,165 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-Depth-Map.jpg?resize=359,214 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-Depth-Map.jpg?resize=543,324 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-Depth-Map.jpg?resize=560,334 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-Depth-Map.jpg?resize=150,89 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><em>Depth map generated by Depth Scanner.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also adjust the <strong>Model<\/strong>, which is how the depth of your footage is interpreted. The default is set to <strong>Faster<\/strong>, which renders faster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Accurate<\/strong> is the second option, which takes longer to render but can give you better results with problematic shots. I recommend trying both, then choose the one that looks best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"depth-slicing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Depth Slicing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depth Scanner also has a slicing mode, which essentially allows you to &#8220;slice out&#8221; parts of your video based on the depth pass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To do this, change the <strong>Mode<\/strong> setting to<strong> Slicing<\/strong>. Then adjust the <strong>Minimum<\/strong> and <strong>Maximum<\/strong> percentages to slice out an area of your footage. You can also soften the edges with the <strong>Soft Border<\/strong> setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-Depth-Slicing.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"755\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-Depth-Slicing.jpg\" alt=\"Depth Slicing with an astronaut in the foreground and a white background\" class=\"wp-image-162858\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-Depth-Slicing.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-Depth-Slicing.jpg?resize=300,179 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-Depth-Slicing.jpg?resize=277,165 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-Depth-Slicing.jpg?resize=359,214 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-Depth-Slicing.jpg?resize=543,324 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-Depth-Slicing.jpg?resize=560,334 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-Depth-Slicing.jpg?resize=150,89 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><em>Slice out parts of your video using the <strong>Slicing<\/strong> mode.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This slicing effect can also save you a lot of time if you need to remove something from a video clip. Simply slice it out so that you&#8217;re left with a transparent area. Then use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/tutorial-content-aware-fill-after-effects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Content-Aware Fill<\/a> in After Effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"creative-effects\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creative Effects<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you can create depth passes from any video, this opens the door for a lot of creative effects. One of the easiest is adding in <strong>Depth of Field<\/strong>. You&#8217;ll need two copies of your footage in your composition to do this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apply <strong>Depth Scanner<\/strong> to the bottom copy, then refine the settings for a good-looking depth pass. Now, apply the <strong>Camera Lens Blur<\/strong> effect on the top &#8220;normal-looking&#8221; copy of your footage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-Camera-Lens-Blur-Settings.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"755\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-Camera-Lens-Blur-Settings.jpg\" alt=\"Screen shot of the Camera Lens Blur Settings\" class=\"wp-image-162860\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-Camera-Lens-Blur-Settings.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-Camera-Lens-Blur-Settings.jpg?resize=300,99 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-Camera-Lens-Blur-Settings.jpg?resize=277,92 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-Camera-Lens-Blur-Settings.jpg?resize=359,119 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-Camera-Lens-Blur-Settings.jpg?resize=543,180 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-Camera-Lens-Blur-Settings.jpg?resize=560,185 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-Camera-Lens-Blur-Settings.jpg?resize=150,50 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><em>Set the <strong>Layer<\/strong> to your depth pass footage and set the <strong>Source<\/strong> to <strong>Effects &amp; Masks<\/strong>.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Set the <strong>Blur Map<\/strong> setting as your footage with <strong>Depth Scanner<\/strong> applied to it.

To do this, simply apply Depth Scanner to your footage and then change the <strong>Mode<\/strong> to <strong>Slicing<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, keyframe the <strong>Maximum<\/strong> setting from <strong>0%<\/strong> to <strong>100%<\/strong>.

You can even experiment with applying effects and presets to them, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/8-bit-motion-graphics-after-effects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">8-Bit Video Game preset<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"experiment-with-other-after-effects-plugins\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Experiment with Other After Effects Plugins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many other effects and plugins can utilize depth maps. Two of my favorites are <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aescripts.com\/crossphere-bokeh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Crossphere Bokeh<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aescripts.com\/ae-pixel-sorter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">AE Pixel Sorter 2<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crossphere Bokeh works similarly to the Camera Lens Blur effect, but produces better-looking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/complete-guide-bokeh-effect\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">bokeh<\/a> and renders much faster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AE Pixel Sorter 2 also has an <strong>Input<\/strong> setting, where you can set your depth pass and then control the &#8220;pixel sorting&#8221; based on the depth of the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-AE-Pixel-Sorter-2.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"755\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-AE-Pixel-Sorter-2.jpg\" alt=\"An example of using AE Pixel Sorter 2 with an image of a downtown area as the model\" class=\"wp-image-162863\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-AE-Pixel-Sorter-2.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-AE-Pixel-Sorter-2.jpg?resize=300,179 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-AE-Pixel-Sorter-2.jpg?resize=277,165 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-AE-Pixel-Sorter-2.jpg?resize=359,214 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-AE-Pixel-Sorter-2.jpg?resize=543,324 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-AE-Pixel-Sorter-2.jpg?resize=560,334 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depth-Scanner-AE-Pixel-Sorter-2.jpg?resize=150,89 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><em>Using Depth Scanner with <a href=\"https:\/\/aescripts.com\/ae-pixel-sorter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">AE Pixel Sorter 2<\/a>.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"create-a-depth-map-in-photoshop\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create a Depth Map in Photoshop<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have the latest release of <strong>Adobe Photoshop<\/strong>, you can also create depth maps on images in one click, using their new <strong>Neural Filters<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under <strong>Filter<\/strong>, select <strong>Neural Filters<\/strong>.
