Flow

Flow will transform your entire approach to working with the graph editor from the very moment you launch it on your Mac. Period.

Flow brings a clean, intuitive interface to After Effects for adjusting animation curves without ever needing to dive into the outdated and convoluted graph editor. Gone are the days of slow, heavy expressions or struggling with speed and influence (what does that even mean?) — simply shape your curve, hit the APPLY button, and you're golden! After you complete the Flow download, you'll experience motion design in a completely new way.

Used to the web life? Flow works with the exact same CSS animation-timing functions that you know and love so well. Its values directly correspond to the values in cubic-bezier (x1,y1,x2,y2). The core of Flow is built upon Lea Verou's cubic-bezier.com, so you can freely copy URL values and paste them right into the extension — Flow will parse them and apply the exact same transition to your selected keyframes or expression on your Mac.

Flow for mac comes packed with 25 pre-built, commonly used motion curves based on Robert Penner's easing functions. But don't limit yourself — create your very own custom library and share it with the entire world, or import other animators' custom presets with just a single button press. Much like a well-crafted flow movie sequence, your animations will look smooth and cinematic. Check out some of the downloadable curve packs available below!

The graph and library both support keyboard shortcuts; in the library, use Shift / Alt / Ctrl to quickly set Ease In / In & Out / Ease Out, or in the graph to snap handles in various different ways or move them symmetrically for precise control.
