Secret Sauce After Effects Preset

Bring subtle cinematic imperfections to your animations, instantly. This preset stacks carefully-tuned effects to add gate weave, exposure flicker, and grain texture, turning clinical digital animations into something organic and emotionally engaging. It also includes the other things that are consistent with this style: Posterize Time, and a soft glow (turned off by default, but worth adding in some cases). I also recommend adding Chromatic Aberrations from AEScripts (it's free). Important: Every composition is unique! Adjust values, toggle effects, and fine-tune as needed, trust your eyes and taste to get it feeling just right. Add to an adjustment layer on your AE comp. Happy animating!
