How many times have you needed to put some kind of frame or panel into your clip but had no simple way of doing it? cf/x panel is just that: the only panel generator you'll ever need. It only inserts panels - but this one thing it can do very, very good.
What good is a panel, you might ask. Well, not much all by it self. But this plug-in really shines in combination with other effects (e.g. when using cf/x caption to put some text effects inside it).
Panel can produce a round panel, a rectangular, or any form in-between - in any color you like. And if that isn't enough, you can also specify the panel's frame color. Want to define the frame's thickness? you can do that. So you also want a semi-transparent half-round panel? Just use the sliders!
Tip:
So you want a panel with drop shadow? But - there's no option for that! Why not? Because this is something you can do much, much better with two passes of the same plug-in. during the first pass, select black as panel color, and use 50% transparency. Then, move the panel up and left, choose another panel color, and no transparency. apply again. there you are - a cool shadow below your panel.
