Keyframe Assistance To Make Your Motion Prettier
Ease and Wizz offers super simple keyframe assistance to make your motion prettier.
Ease and Wizz is a set of expressions for After Effects that give you more ways to interpolate between values. The obvious use is in motion, but they can be used on animated properties of any kind. They’re applied with an After Effects-styled palette that can be docked, so it’s very easy to use.
A while back, Flash guru Robert Penner created a suite of extremely useful easing equations that have been used to build thousands of websites worldwide. I’ve adapted these equations to work as expressions in After Effects (for an introduction to After Effects expressions, check out Dan Ebberts’ excellent site).
One advantage of using an expression for easing is that the keyframes are editable. You can drag objects in the comp viewer, or move keyframes in the timeline, and the easing will be updated immediately.

Change Log
2.6.1 (Current version) – Nov 10, 2021
2.6.0 – Mar 31, 2021
[NEW] Ease and Wizz now has the Cubic easing type, which has been missing from the beginning. Not sure why. Thanks to J.B. for pointing this out.
[NEW] Under “Keys” you can now choose “End only”. This will apply easing between the last two keyframes only; all other keys will use their original easing values.
Version 2.5.3: Updated installation instructions
Version 2.5.1: Refactored code that was causing conflicts with other scripts, resulting in “Null is not an object” error; also improved jslint compliance.
