Give your animation
the exact curve
An After Effects panel for designing easing curves: drag them, watch the result live and apply them to keyframes, expressions, text, masks and more. With 350+ presets and an AI chat that suggests curves.
350+ presets · Windows 10/11 · After Effects 2022 or later · 7 languages
Everything you need
From the first keyframe to the curve you have in mind, without leaving After Effects.
Curve editor
Drag the bézier handles or type the values. You see influence and speed the way After Effects uses them, with symmetric handles and an A/B comparison with the previous curve.
Live preview
Always on top, in 8 scenes: a ball, an interface card, a title letter by letter, a dial, a logo, a camera push-in, bars and an A/B race.
350+ presets
Classics, springs with real physics, steps and curves, with search and filters by type and by use. Mark favorites and save your own in “Mine”, with export and import.
Keyframes or expression
Apply it as keyframes or as an expression: the curve stays inside the project and, when you edit it, every expression that uses it updates. Your project works even without the panel installed.
Apply it where you need it
Properties, text animators (by characters, words or lines), masks and shapes, time remapping and between markers.
Extract, stagger and mix
Pull the curve out of keyframes you already have, stagger layers following a curve and mix two curves into one.
AI chat
Describe the motion you want and the AI proposes curves: approve or reject them, and double-click to apply a proposal. It uses the AI you already have (Claude Code, ChatGPT/Codex, an API key or Ollama) and you pay your provider directly. Without AI, everything else works the same.
Your way
Double-click a curve to apply it (you can turn it off), Ctrl+Z undoes in After Effects, three themes (like After Effects, dark and light) and 7 languages.
Ready in minutes
Three steps from your license to your first curve.
Install with Synthetic Setup
Download Synthetic Setup from your dashboard and run it: it finds your After Effects, installs the panel and loads your license for you. Then open it from Window → Extensions → Synthetic AE Curves.
Activate your license
Synthetic Setup loads it for you. If you installed by hand, paste your key once in Settings (the gear in the header). It needs internet to activate and verify it; offline it keeps working for up to 30 days.
Design and apply
Pick a preset or draw your curve, watch it move and apply it to the selection with Apply or a double-click.
Made for After Effects
Works with Adobe After Effects 2022 or later on 64-bit Windows 10/11. It is a window you can dock wherever you like in your workspace.
