AE Pixel Sorter Tool

Pixel Sorter Modes
Ae Pixel Sorter Tool modes includes a simple mode that will arrange pixels from darkest to brightest. The random mode will randomly reposition the pixels resulting in a colored grain effect. You can also sort by highlights or shadows, or choose to sort all the pixels in the image or footage.
The tool also allows for an adjustable threshold, and lets you key all the parameters to fine tune the effects.
