A full walkthrough of Sentinel on real footage, in After Effects, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve.
What Sentinel does
Sentinel lays a sci-fi security-tracker HUD over your footage, locking reticles onto subjects and surrounding them with fake ID, coordinate, and velocity readouts. A CPU analysis pass finds the highest-salience targets in the frame, and the rest runs 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.
Use it to make any clip feel like a surveillance feed or a targeting system, with constellation lines connecting targets and a scan sweep passing across them. Every control is keyframable, so you can bring the HUD online, run the scan, and time the readouts to the action.
