A full walkthrough of Codestream on real footage, in After Effects, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve.
What Codestream does
Codestream recreates the look of falling digital code-rain, the cascade of glowing green glyphs streaming down the screen with your footage showing through the gaps. It runs entirely on the GPU as a real After Effects, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve effect, so you get a live, render-accurate preview while you work, with none of the layer stacking or plugin chains the look usually takes.
Drop it on any clip and let the code rain reveal the image beneath it, choosing the color palette and starting from a preset to set the mood. Every control is animatable, so you can build the stream up over a shot or thin it out to let the footage read clearly.
