Adobe Animate Extension – DFX Panel Support For 2D FX Artists
🧰 DFX Panel v1.0 – The Animator’s Time-Saving Toolkit for Adobe Animate 🎨
Pull up a stool and have a look! This trusty little panel—DFX Panel—was forged in the fires of animation tedium (and, yes, more than a few late-night sighs 😅). It’s crafted specifically for 2D artists and animators like yourself who’ve spent one too many hours repeating the same ol' steps in Adobe Animate.
🏺 What’s Inside the Toolkit:
- Tools to speed up your FX workflow and ditch the repetitive grind
- Tailored for hand-drawn VFX: spark bursts, fiery trails, and all your magical bits
- Simple, clean interface—no fluff, just function
📦 v1.0 Update Notice:
- ✨ Works on Windows 10 & 11, and now on MacOS too!
- 📘 Compatible with Adobe Animate 2023 & 2024
- ⚠️ Heads-up: doesn’t yet support multiple docs or layers
✨ Whether you're conjuring up elemental blasts or polishing those flashy game cutscenes, this panel is here to give your timeline some breathing room.
Crafted with care. Used in-house. Shared with the animation guild at large. Drop it into your toolbox, and may your next scene flow smoother than a gliding tween.
Now, shall I wrap one up for you? 💼✨
