Standard vs Multi-keyframe
Multi-keyframe easing curves in Kease give you advanced control over easing, allowing you to shape and refine animations far beyond standard keyframe interpolation.
Standard Easing Curves
Easing curves are a foundational tool for any motion designer, and in Kease they are called Standard. They consist of two Bézier handles and affect the motion between two keyframes.
If you are aiming for more complex motion, you often end up combining multiple easing curves.
Multi-keyframe Easing Curves
Multi-keyframe curves, on the other hand, allow you to create a curve far more complex than a standard two-handle Bézier. Think of it as crafting a continuous, flowing motion over several keyframes and treating it as a single curve that can be applied elsewhere or saved as a preset.
Preset Library
A place for all your favorite easing curves, organized into groups, customizable in size and color, and optionally labeled by name or influence values.
The Library contains both Standard and Multi-keyframe Presets.
Intuitive UI
Organizing your preset library is straightforward, with drag-and-drop functionality that allows you to move individual presets or preset groups wherever you need them.
Plenty of options
Right-click on a preset to open a feature-rich context menu and get a helpful reminder of all available shortcuts.
Standard Presets
They provide a one-click solution to adjust keyframe interpolation, controlling how an animation speeds up and slows down, making movements look smoother and more expressive.
Multi-keyframe Presets
Easing curves on steroids
This unique and mind-blowing feature overcomes the limitations of standard easing curves. It automatically generates additional in-between keyframes, making it easy to create complex motions like overshoot, anticipation, bounce, and more.
Graph Editor
Kease Graph Editor brings a faster, more intuitive way to fine-tune your animation curves in After Effects. Built for speed and creativity, it lets you visualize, edit, save and apply Easing Curves effortlessly, both Standard and Multi-keyframe.
Mirror handles
Move one handle of a Standard Preset’s bezier curve and automatically mirror the opposite handle.

Copy & Paste Easing Curves
A keyframe holds information about its easing, its value, and more. Sometimes you only want the easing. Kease lets you copy and paste that alone, without touching the rest.
Standard Copy & Paste
Copying and pasting an easing curve applies each keyframe’s easing to its matching keyframe in order. This one-to-one relationship is the default behavior and the one you are probably used to.
The power of the Graph Editor
Break the limit of copying and pasting Standard Easing Curves. With the Graph Editor, you can now copy and paste easing curves that span over multiple keyframes, preserving the continuous motion, relative in-between keyframes and handles.
When pasted, Kease intelligently rebuilds this Multi-keyframe Easing Curve across your selected keyframes, recreating the necessary in-between keyframes and handles, even when timing or spacing is different.
Copy & Paste Values
Paste the value, keep everything else. Sometimes you just want to copy a keyframe’s value onto another keyframe without overriding your easing curves.
Copy the values of one or more keyframes to another set of keyframes without changing their time interpolation.
Precise control with Modifier Keys
Holding a Modifier Key while applying an easing curve helps you target a specific portion of your keyframe selection.
It works everywhere:
- when copying and pasting an Easing Curve
- when applying a Preset
- when applying a curve using the Graph Editor
