how to add easy ease in after effects
HeyBraza points at the keyframes, the f9 shortcut, and the graph editor toggle so your linear motion finally eases.
if your animation feels stiff and mechanical, it's because the default keyframes are linear - they move at a constant speed. easy ease fixes the start and stop, and the graph editor lets you push it further. here's how to apply both.
short answer
select the keyframes in the timeline and press f9 - the icons turn into hourglass shapes. for finer control open the graph editor and drag the bezier handles on the speed curve.
or do it yourself
- 1in the timeline, open the layer property you animated (e.g. position) so its keyframes show.
- 2drag-select all the keyframes you want to smooth.
- 3press f9 to apply easy ease - the keyframe icons turn into hourglass shapes (or right-click > keyframe assistant > easy ease).
- 4for finer control, click the 'graph editor' button (the curve icon) at the top of the timeline.
- 5drag the bezier handles on the speed curve to make the slow-in / slow-out as gentle or aggressive as you want.

downloadcommon questions
what's the shortcut for easy ease?
select the keyframes and press f9. use shift+f9 for ease-in only and ctrl/cmd+shift+f9 for ease-out only.
why does my motion still look choppy after easy ease?
easy ease alone can make objects stall at each keyframe - open the graph editor and stretch the speed curve to keep momentum between keyframes.
how do i add ease in and ease out in after effects?
select the keyframes and press f9 - that applies easy ease to both sides at once. for one side only, shift+f9 eases in (the incoming keyframe) and ctrl/cmd+shift+f9 eases out.
what's the difference between ease in, ease out and easy ease?
ease in slows the motion as it arrives at a keyframe, ease out accelerates it as it leaves, and easy ease does both. f9 gives you easy ease; the graph editor is where you control how gentle or aggressive each side is.
