Stable Diffusion in Adobe After Effects
Introducing Diffusae – the plugin that brings the power of Stable Diffusion to After Effects. This plugin allows you to explore and interact with generative AI exactly where you need it – in your own timeline. With no usage fees or monthly subscription plans, Diffusae is designed for convenience and value. Installation and setup are a breeze with its simplified workflow that makes sure open-source software can be installed quickly on any computer without limitations on how many images can be generated. Take advantage of this innovative plugin today, and let Diffusae bring AI-powered creativity straight to your production process!
Now available on Windows and Mac. The latest version has been re-engineered to render directly in AE, no external Render Engine anymore.
This is a list of features in our roadmap and their current development status:
Stable Diffusion 1.5 Available
Stable Diffusion 2.1 Available
Stable Diffusion 2 (Depth) Available
This model adds coherence to the image by analyzing its depth
InstructPix2Pix Available
This model is more stable on videos and allows you to instruct a specific change in the image
ControlNet Newly Available
Prompt Editor Newly Available
The Diffusae Effect Controls

Basic Diffusae Usage
- Import a video or create an adjustment layer on top of your comp. Add the BSKL/Diffusae effect to it.
- Create a text layer and write your prompt! (you can hide the text layer for rendering if you want, it doesn’t need to be visible)
- In Diffusae, select your text layer as the “Prompt” parameter
- Prompt Strength: closer to 0%, it will be more loyal to your input image. Closer to 100%, it will be more loyal to the prompt, ignoring the input image
- Iterations: The more, the better quality, but over a certain threshold (around 40), you will not see major improvement.
Pro tip: When looking for a style or a seed, you can set the iterations to a lower value (5-10), it will render faster and still look like your final image rendered with more iterations.
Advanced options
- Increasing the max size will increase the quality, but can exhaust your VRAM, depending on your GPU.
- Pro tip: you can keyframe the source text of your text layer 🙂
- You can review options and register in the Options panel (the blue link next to the effect’s name)
Local Rendering
Use your GPU! Diffusae is not a cloud-rendering service. After Effects will render using local GPU power.
