Using Plugins

A "plugin" is a single program that is executed by Pro Motion and that has certain functions. So plugins are extensions for the application. If you are a programmer you may consider creating your own plugins that do certain tasks that are not included yet. "Pro Motion" offers a simple plugin interface and can differ between three kinds of plugins:

1. IMPORT-Plugins

are programs that can read images or animations that use a file format that is not supported by the application.
Today this kind of import plugins are deprecated. Use the new file i/o plugin interface instead.

2. EXPORT-Plugins

are the opposite type of plugins than the IMPORT-Plugins and can write out image or animation data to other file formats than supported by the application.
Today this kind of import plugins are deprecated. Use the new file i/o plugin interface instead.

1. MANIPULATION-Plugins

are programs that modify a single image or an animation and can be used to create special effects.

You can execute a plugin by selecting it from the menu Plugins and the corresponding submenus.

Plugins and technical informations about the plugin interface can be found on the software home page at http://www.cosmigo.com/promotion.
