What It Does
Wonder Panel Pro replaces dozens of menu clicks with a single-button toolbar. Create layers with preset names and colors, render compositions and auto-import the results, manage color palettes across projects, and align layers without navigating menus. Built for editors who spend more time clicking through After Effects than actually animating.
Key Features
One-click layer creation. Generate solids, shapes, text layers, nulls, cameras, and lights with your preferred names, colors, and settings already applied. No dialog boxes, no repetitive naming, no hunting for the right layer type.
Color palette management. Compatible with Adobe Color and Adobe Swatch Exchange. Import and export custom palettes, input HEX codes directly, or use the built-in picker. Apply colors to fills and strokes in shape layers while preserving gradients. Parametric mesh layers supported.
Render and auto-import. Queue a composition for rendering and have the output file automatically imported back into your project. Works with image sequences and multiple render queue items. Useful when iterating on pre-comps or building versioned exports.
Smart alignment tools. Align and distribute layers while respecting animated properties. If a layer’s position is keyframed, the tool adjusts without breaking the animation. Cycle anchor points to corners, edges, or center without manually dragging.
Frame export. Export individual frames as PNGs and import them immediately. Helpful for reference stills or building animatics from specific moments in a timeline.
Customizable layouts. Rearrange buttons, set default layer names and output modules, then export your settings to sync across workstations or share with a team. Configure multiple profiles for different project types (e.g., one for motion graphics, another for compositing).
Recent updates added keyframe toggle controls for easing, better non-English After Effects support, and improved render queue reliability.
Who It’s For
Animators and compositors who create lots of layers or render frequently. Teams that need consistent naming conventions and color palettes across projects. Anyone tired of the default After Effects workflow where simple tasks require three menu clicks and a confirmation dialog.
