Easing Curves

What easing does

Easing controls the speed of a transition over time. A linear ease moves at constant speed. An ease-out starts fast and slows down. An ease-in starts slow and speeds up. The right curve makes transitions feel natural instead of mechanical.

Where easing is used

• Zoom-to-click: Separate curves for fade-in and fade-out on each zoom range
• Camera PiP keyframes: How the camera position interpolates between keyframes
• Volume automation: How volume transitions between keyframes

24 presets

The preset picker shows all available curves as visual thumbnails. The presets are grouped by family:

• Basic: Linear, Ease, Ease-In, Ease-Out, Ease-In-Out
• Quadratic: Quad-In, Quad-Out, Quad
• Cubic: Cubic-In, Cubic-Out, Cubic
• Quartic: Quart-In, Quart-Out, Quart
• Quintic: Quint-In, Quint-Out, Quint
• Exponential: Expo-In, Expo-Out, Expo
• Circular: Circ-In, Circ-Out, Circ
• Back: Back-In, Back-Out, Back (with slight overshoot)

Custom bezier curves

If the presets don't fit, open the bezier editor. It's a standard cubic bezier curve with two draggable control points. The curve runs from (0,0) to (1,1), and you can drag the handles beyond those bounds (up to −0.5 to 1.5) to create overshoot effects.

Tips

• Ease-Out is a good default for most transitions. It starts fast and settles smoothly.
• Back curves add a subtle overshoot that can make zoom effects feel more dynamic.
• Linear works well for volume fades where you want a steady, predictable ramp.
