What It Does
Ease and Wizz applies advanced interpolation methods to keyframes in After Effects. Instead of manually writing expressions or wrestling with the graph editor, you select keyframes and choose an easing type from a palette. The plugin supports curves like Expo, Back, Elastic, and Bounce, which aren’t available in After Effects’ standard easing options.
It works on any animated property: position, scale, rotation, opacity, or effect parameters. You can apply easing to all keyframes on a layer, just the first two, just the last two, or only between the final pair. This makes it useful for both setting up entire animations and fine-tuning specific transitions.
Key Features
The dockable palette gives you quick access to multiple easing types. You can combine different curves on a single property, like Expo out with Back in, or Elastic out with Expo in. If you need more control, the plugin generates expression code that you can edit directly in the timeline.
Version 2.6.1 added tooltip descriptions for each easing type and removed the need for manual folder path setup. It also fixed compatibility issues with the Curvaceous plugin, so templates that use both tools now work correctly. The plugin includes an “End only” mode that applies easing only between the last two keyframes, leaving earlier animation intact.
Keyframe selection is flexible. You can target specific keyframe ranges or let the plugin handle all keys at once. This speeds up iteration when you’re testing different timing feels across multiple layers.
Who It’s For
Motion designers working on character animation, logo reveals, or kinetic typography will find the additional easing curves helpful for adding personality to movement. The Bounce and Elastic options are particularly useful for playful or exaggerated motion.
Animators who prototype quickly benefit from the one-click application. Instead of diving into expression syntax every time you want a specific curve, you click a button and adjust from there. It’s also useful for beginners learning how different easing types affect animation, since you can compare curves side-by-side without writing code.
If you regularly animate UI elements, product demos, or explainer videos, the plugin saves time on repetitive easing tasks. Apply consistent curves across multiple projects without rebuilding expressions.
