About ExtendScript Developer Tools

ExtendScript Developer Tools is a panel from Vakago Tools that enables execution of JSX scripts and ExtendScript commands within Adobe applications such as After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Audition. The tool offers an integrated console for running commands and inspecting results without external utilities. Variable Inspection lets users explore the global namespace or click objects to examine return types and parameters, including access to the undocumented QE API. A built‑in JSX editor supports loading, editing, and saving scripts at runtime, facilitating debugging and workflow automation for plugin developers, automation engineers, and Adobe power users.

The catalog lists the software as free, but also mentions a free trial that must be uninstalled before purchasing a full version, indicating a paid component beyond the trial period.
