Features of neo Motion

Which features are included in the plugin?

The main features of the Stop Motion plugin are:

• ✅ Delight your visitors with stop motion animations
• ✅ Create stop motion drawings easily with neoDraw
• ✅ Unlimited frames in any size
• ✅ Export animated SVGs (more efficient than GIFs)

neoDraw – Transfer drawings

How can I transfer drawings created with neoDraw to another website?

Drawings created with neoDraw can be downloaded like regular images as SVG or PNG files and uploaded to another WordPress instance. For SVG uploads to work, they must either be enabled manually or the neoLibrary must be used for the upload. The drawings can still be edited with neoDraw after upload because the drawing data is embedded in both the SVG and PNG formats.

neoDraw – Export drawing

Can I export neoDraw drawings as PNG files?

Yes , drawings created with neoDraw can be downloaded as PNG files via the neoLibrary . All drawing data is embedded as metadata directly into the PNG file. Despite the pixel-based format, the full restoration of the original SVG is still possible – including all editable drawing elements. If such a PNG file is later uploaded again via neoLibrary, it will automatically be converted back into an SVG file editable with neoDraw.

neoDraw – File format

In which format are neoDraw drawings stored?

Drawings created with neoDraw are stored in the WordPress media library as vector graphics in the SVG format – just like regular images. In the file system, these SVG files sit alongside the other images in the WordPress media library. This means all drawings created with neoDraw can still be used after the plugin is uninstalled.

All editor drawing data, including embedded images and animations from neoAnimate & neoMotion , is stored directly in the SVG file. This keeps the drawing fully editable even after downloading and re-uploading – for example to another WordPress instance. In the frontend, SVG files are treated like ordinary images.

For maximum performance the neoOptimize plugin removes the editor data automatically when serving the SVG files and converts embedded raster images to the efficient WebP format .

neoDraw – Drawings without Pro

What happens to my drawings and animations without Pro?

If you no longer use a Pro license, your existing drawings and animations remain fully intact and continue to work in the frontend.

The Pro features within the drawings (e.g. advanced animation settings) cannot be edited without a license. Displaying and exporting is still possible because your drawings are stored as regular SVG files.

If you later switch back to neoPro, all Pro features become available again immediately without restrictions.

It currently includes ten specialized plugins: neoLibrary , neoRename , neoReplace , neoDuplicate , neoOptimize , neoLazy , neoDraw , neoAnimate and neoMotion . They work seamlessly together, are perfectly coordinated and cover all areas of media management, SEO and performance.

And the best part: the neoUniverse is constantly expanding. New tools and features make your WordPress daily routine even better.

Download with Safari

Why do I only see a folder when downloading?

If you use Safari , your Mac may automatically unzip the ZIP file. Instead of the ZIP file you then only get the unzipped folder. You cannot upload this folder directly to WordPress.

Solution: Open Safari settings and disable the option ”Open safe files after downloading” . After that the ZIP file will remain as you need it.

The video titled ”How to disable Safari auto extract for ZIP files when downloading WordPress plugins” on YouTube shows the exact details.
