Plug-ins for Pro Motion

Pro Motion is a paint application with features to ease the creation of 2D animations. For example, Pro Motion provides a "light table" for onion skinning and a key framer to generate simple animations automatically. Pro Motion is marketed by Cosmigo.

CompuPhase has built two plug-ins for Pro Motion, one to support our animation engine EGI and the other originally for internal use. Both plug-ins are gratis. You will find installation instructions in the help file or a readme file in the ZIP archives.

The EGI export plug-in (103 KiB) allows users of Pro Motion to directly create an extended FLIC file from within the program.
Note: You need the EGI compiler to use the plug-in.
PluginMaker (170 KiB; release 1.1, June 2001) is a scriptable plug-in. It modifies the frames in Pro Motion under control of a program written in the pawn scripting language, a freely available scripting language to embed in applications. The PluginMaker archive contains the required compiler for the pawn language, but not the pawn language guide. New in this release are an extra user control, a few new "native functions" and a batch processing ability to run the script over all frames in the animation with a single click.
