Why we like it

Flow stands out in the Superhive library for bringing After Effects-style easing into Blender through an interactive, GPU-accelerated 2D graph.

What is Flow - Animation Curve Editor?

Flow - Animation Curve Editor is a visual Bezier curve editor for Blender built to make adjusting keyframe timing faster and more intuitive. Instead of working solely through Blender's built-in curve editor, Flow presents an interactive, GPU-accelerated modal interface with a 2D graph and yellow Bezier control points you can drag to dictate the spatial flow of your easing.

The editor covers standard easing through quick presets for Ease In-Out, Ease In, Linear, and Ease Out, and applies more advanced Elastic, Bounce, and Back interpolations with a single click. Auto Apply reflects your adjustments immediately in Blender's Graph Editor as you move the handles, so you shape curves with direct feedback rather than guesswork.

You can also build your own library, creating, saving, and scrolling through custom easing presets to keep timing consistent across projects. A set of modal controls handles the workflow: left-mouse drag adjusts handles, Enter applies and closes, Esc cancels, and Ctrl+drag resizes the UI window. Documentation is included, and a demo video is available.

Frequently asked questions

Does Flow work with Blender 5.1?

Flow - Animation Curve Editor is listed as compatible with Blender versions 4.0 through 5.1, covering a broad span of recent releases. The plugin's own material also describes it as optimized for high-performance animation workflows. It runs as a GPU-accelerated modal interface, so you interact with its dedicated 2D graph and Bezier control points while changes reflect in Blender's Graph Editor. If you're on a version outside that range, check the developer's page before downloading to confirm the currently supported Blender versions.

What easing presets does Flow include?

Flow - Animation Curve Editor ships with quick presets for the standard easing types: Ease In-Out, Ease In, Linear, and Ease Out. Beyond those, it can apply more advanced Elastic, Bounce, and Back interpolations with a single click. You can also build your own library by creating, saving, and scrolling through custom easing presets to maintain consistency across projects. Presets work through the same visual 2D graph where you drag Bezier handles to shape your curves.

Is Flow free to download?

Flow - Animation Curve Editor is listed as free in this catalog. Pricing and licensing can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current terms before you download. The plugin is distributed under the GPL license. It's a visual Bezier curve editor for Blender that adds interactive, GPU-accelerated easing controls to keyframe animation, with quick presets, advanced interpolations, and a custom preset library you can build yourself.

How do you adjust curves in Flow?

Flow - Animation Curve Editor uses a modal interface with a set of fast workflow controls. Left-mouse drag adjusts the Bezier handles on the 2D graph, Enter applies your changes and closes the editor, and Esc cancels them. Holding Ctrl while dragging resizes the UI window. As you move the handles, Auto Apply shows the results immediately in Blender's Graph Editor, giving you direct feedback while you shape the easing.
