Gradient! 1.0

Yes, cool, useful plug-ins really can be this inexpensive. Gradient! allows you to create 16-bit, 6 color gradients within Adobe After Effects. It gives users unprecedented control over the look and animation of the gradients.

Gradient! offers many features expected from a gradient tool: transparency for all colors, direction dial, built-in transfer modes, four different gradient types, and the ability to repeat the gradient.

After Effects has three filters capable of generating gradients in some fashion. However, none of them provide a method as easy to use and flexible as Gradient!. Similar to the Photoshop gradient tool, Gradient! provides an easy solution for the designer.

You can animate virtually everything, and since the position and transparency of each color is a separate control, you can use expressions to control and animate the gradient.
