Real Ease sits at rank 644 in the aescripts library, and it earns its place as a focused easing tool: one click turns two keyframes into a physically accurate smooth animation, with added control over top-speed timing and reusable animation curves.
Real Ease is a script for After Effects, developed by grape design, that produces physically accurate smooth animations with a single click. It works from two keyframes, adding an intermediate keyframe to shape the motion between them. The approach puts the focus on acceleration and deceleration forces.
Beyond the one-click smoothing, the tool gives you control over the length of the animation near top speed, and it can interrupt constant velocity motion partway through. A smooth animation preset is included, and animation curves can be copied and pasted.
Real Ease is at version 1.1, updated on September 24, 2024, with that release simplifying the undo operation. It supports After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023 and 2022, and a demo video is available. Within the aescripts library, it earns its place as a compact easing tool for keyframe-based animation.
Real Ease is best for after Effects animators who want physically accurate smooth motion generated from keyframes with a single click.
Real Ease is completely free to download and use.
Real Ease is compatible with After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022, covering several recent releases of the application. If you are running one of these versions, the tool should fit into your workflow for building smooth animations from keyframes. For versions outside this range, or to confirm the current compatibility list before installing, check the developer's page on aescripts, which tracks any updates to supported releases as new After Effects versions ship.
Real Ease is listed as free in this catalog, so you can add it to After Effects without a purchase here. Because licensing terms can change over time, check the developer's page on aescripts for the current details before you download. That page is also the place to find the latest release and any information the developer shares about how the tool is distributed and supported going forward.
Real Ease reached version 1.1 on September 24, 2024, an update that simplified the undo operation. The initial 1.0 release arrived on August 23, 2024. If you are on an earlier build, moving to 1.1 gives you the streamlined undo behaviour, and the developer's page on aescripts is where new versions and their changes are posted as they become available for After Effects.
Real Ease has a demo video available on YouTube for anyone wanting to look before installing. The developer's page on aescripts hosts the download and the details about the current version, and the video accompanies that listing. A demo is a common reference point when deciding whether a one-click animation tool suits your workflow, so it is worth a look ahead of adding Real Ease to After Effects.
