Create a high-end Apple-style / SaaS gradient transition in After Effects using a depth map, Colorama, Depth Scanner, Gaussian Blur, and Gradient Wipe.

In this 5-minute After Effects tutorial, I’ll show you how to build a fully controllable gradient transition from scratch — the same type of clean, premium motion design style you see in modern SaaS animations, Apple UI-style videos, Base44-inspired visuals, Wix Studio-style motion, and product animations.

You’ll learn how to:
• Create a depth map from an image or video
• Use Depth Scanner inside After Effects
• Render your depth map for better performance
• Build a custom gradient look with Colorama
• Animate the gradient colors properly
• Add blur for a smoother premium look
• Combine everything with Gradient Wipe
• Create a full controllable transition for UI, SaaS, and motion graphics projects
