Fast Bokeh Pro for After Effects
Fast Bokeh Pro v2 is a plug-in for After Effects that creates a smooth Depth of Field bokeh blur using a Depth Map. It’s very fast, handles edges properly and easy to use.
Why Another Lens Blur Plug-in?
Fast Bokeh Pro is different from all the other Lens Blur plug-ins out there because of the following features:
Very fast and blur radius independent.
Handles edges properly.
Gaussian/Spherical/Polygonal (HQ) Bokeh Blur
Custom Image Bokeh Shapes
Zone Control for Segmentation
GPU Acceleration using Metal/Compute
What’s New In v2.0
Fast Bokeh v2 comes with some great new features like Custom Image Bokeh Shapes, Zone Control and most importantly GPU Acceleration using modern technologies like Metal/Compute.

Blur Radius Independent
Fast Bokeh’s performance only depends on the image size, but not the amount of blur applied, so you can expect a near-constant render performance.
No Hard Edges
Object boundaries are expanded and edges are handled properly as expected. There are still limits because the plug-in doesn’t have information about occluded objects in the render, but it does a reasonable job of avoiding hard edges and halos as much as possible.
