Overview

Animation Pro gives Roblox developers a visual workflow for applying, previewing, tuning and saving polished UI entrance, exit, hover and click motion directly in Studio.

Animation Pro turns common Roblox interface motion into a visual authoring workflow inside Studio.

Start with the main UI

Select the main menu Frame or CanvasGroup, choose Frame as its UI Type, select its Open and Close animations, then press Save. This saved Frame becomes the target that the other Animation Pro UI types can link to.

After the main UI is saved, select one of the three secondary types and pair it with that Frame:

  • HUD Button toggles the linked Frame open and closed.
  • Close Button closes the linked Frame.
  • Frame Children plays Entrance and Exit motion with the linked Frame; it does not act as another open or close button.

Choose the secondary UI’s own animations, preview them, then press Save again.

Animate complete menus

Assign a Frame, choose an Open and Close effect, preview the result and tune only the properties that matter to that animation.

Make buttons feel responsive

Link HUD and Close buttons to a saved Frame, then give them dedicated Hover and Click motion. HUD buttons can toggle the linked menu automatically, while Close buttons can dismiss it reliably across mouse, touch and gamepad input.

Build coordinated child motion

Select multiple Frame Children and apply Entrance or Exit effects in one pass. Adjustable stagger timing and direction create spatial waves across the selected interface, while layout-aware guidance helps avoid conflicts with Roblox layout objects.

Preview, tune and reuse

Search the animation browser, save favorites, adjust duration, motion, scale, rotation, easing and settle behavior, or save a property preset for another object. Preview playback returns the UI to its starting state when it finishes.

Read the Animation Pro documentation for the complete setup, linking workflow and Developer API reference.
