About Battle Axe Anubis
Battle Axe Anubis is an export and rendering panel from Battle Axe that consolidates file output tasks for After Effects and Premiere Pro. It generates file names and folders dynamically from a naming string, supports background rendering with a Send to App option, and includes compression controls such as quality settings and resize‑to‑width with a progress footer. After Effects users benefit from multi‑comp export while Premiere Pro users can select custom export preset files. The panel records the project file path as a metadata property visible in Bridge and notifies users of version updates. Compatibility spans After Effects, Animate, and Premiere Pro CC2019 onward, and Photoshop CC2019–2024; Photoshop 2025 and newer cannot run ZXP extensions. Recent releases signed the macOS FFMpeg binary and fixed input‑field issues on Apple silicon Macs.

Frequently asked questions
Does Battle Axe Anubis run in Photoshop 2025?
No. Battle Axe Anubis cannot run in Photoshop 2025 or later because those versions no longer support ZXP extensions, even under Rosetta. The developer advises downgrading to Photoshop 2024 if Photoshop support is required.
What host applications does Battle Axe Anubis support?
Anubis supports After Effects, Animate, Premiere Pro, and Photoshop (CC2019–2024). Multi‑comp export is specific to After Effects, while the export preset selector is available in Premiere Pro.
Does Battle Axe Anubis work on Apple silicon Macs?
Yes. The 1.1.7 update fixed Apple silicon input‑field issues and later signed the macOS FFMpeg binary, improving reliability on Apple silicon Macs when using a current version.
Is Battle Axe Anubis free?
The catalog lists Anubis as free, but the plugin uses a license key for authentication, indicating that licensing terms may apply. Current pricing and license details should be confirmed on the developer’s site.
