Curve editor for After Effects
A catalog of 61 presets, live preview and one curve applied to every checked property at once — an After Effects curve editor that doesn't fight the built-in Graph Editor, it stands next to it.

Why another curve editor in After Effects
The built-in Graph Editor honestly shows the curve — and KeyoEase doesn't duplicate or replace it. The task is different: speed up choosing the motion. The After Effects curve editor is great when the shape of the curve is already known; while you're still searching for it, handles get dragged at random, ten timeline runs per variant.
KeyoEase stands next to the Graph Editor: instead of drawing AE easing curves blind, you pick a preset from the catalog, watch the live preview and apply the curve to every checked layer property at once — one click instead of one-by-one. You can shape the motion in value terms or in speed terms.
Key features
- A catalog of 61 presets for After Effects — classic ease-in/out, springs, bounces, camera moves: choosing instead of drawing from scratch.
- One-click apply — the curve goes to every checked layer property at once, no walking them one by one.
- Live preview — the motion is visible on the curve before applying, no timeline runs.
The preset catalog and working with speed
The After Effects presets in KeyoEase are not a flat list of names: bounces have a bounce count, height and decay; springs have oscillation and damping; classics have bend and acceleration. Pick a preset — see the curve; nudge a number — the preview recomputes on the spot. None of them fit? Bend the curve by hand in the editor.
AE easing curves are often easier to choose by tempo: the value graph answers "where is the object", the After Effects speed graph — "how fast is it moving there". Slow down the end of a title without touching its path, or even out a camera's pace — the speed graph shows it as a line, not as a feeling after ten viewings.
Compatibility, license and other people's projects
The plugin works in After Effects 2022 (22.0) and newer on Windows 10/11 and macOS 11+, including Apple Silicon; the app's interface language doesn't matter. One license covers both After Effects and Premiere Pro — buy once, it works in both, and the preset catalog is shared.
The curve applies to layer transform properties: Position, Scale, Opacity, Rotation, Anchor Point. Effect parameter support is being prepared and will arrive as a free update.
The project doesn't break without the plugin: KeyoEase changes regular AE keyframes and writes nothing of its own into the file. A colleague without the panel simply opens the comp — the keys are exactly where you left them.
The license is one-time: $12 once, no subscription. Seven days of full trial before buying, activation on two computers, offline work for up to 14 days. Details in the documentation.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the built-in Graph Editor?
The Graph Editor shows the curve, but you have to shape it by hand, handle by handle. KeyoEase doesn't replace it — it stands next to it: a catalog of 61 presets, live preview, and applying the curve to every checked property in one click. The native editor stays where it was.
Do I need a separate license if I work in both Premiere and AE?
No. One license covers both applications — Premiere Pro and After Effects alike. The purchase is one-time, $12, no subscription.
Which After Effects versions are supported?
After Effects 2022 (22.0) and newer on Windows 10/11 and macOS 11+, including Apple Silicon. The app's interface language doesn't matter.
Will a colleague's project break if they don't have the plugin?
No. KeyoEase changes regular AE keyframes and writes nothing of its own into the project — the comp opens for any colleague. The panel is only needed by the person choosing the curve.
