A full walkthrough of WaterRipple on real footage, in After Effects, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve.
What WaterRipple does
WaterRipple sends concentric ripples across your footage from drop points, refracting the image as if it were seen through moving water. 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.
Place your drop points and shape the ripple spread, with optional caustic highlights catching on the wave slopes, for anything from a calm surface to an active, rippling pool. Every control is keyframable, so you can trigger a drop on cue and let the rings spread and fade over time.
