Spring Ease earns its place in the aescripts library for pairing a target-based animation model with spring controls for elasticity, frequency, and settling time.
Spring Ease is an animation system for After Effects built around target-based movement. You point elements toward targets and let inertia shape more natural motion paths, with bounce as part of the result.
The virtual spring exposes control over elasticity, frequency, and settling time, so you can adjust how the motion overshoots and comes to rest. The style of movement it produces is the familiar kind commonly used in UI design. A camera helper lets you easily create a camera with position and point of interest preconfigured.
Developed by grape design, Spring Ease keeps a simple and minimal UI. This is version 1.0, released in September 2025. It is compatible with After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, and 2023, and a demo video is available on the developer's page.
Spring Ease is best for after Effects artists who want target-based motion with inertia and bounce, including UI-style animation and quick camera setup.
Spring Ease is completely free to download and use.
Spring Ease is compatible with After Effects 2026, and it also supports 2025, 2024, and 2023. If you are running one of those four versions, the plugin's target-based animation system should be available to you. For any release outside that range, check the developer's page for the current compatibility details before installing, since versions beyond the ones listed here are not confirmed as supported.
Spring Ease uses a target-based animation system that moves elements toward targets, with motion paths influenced by inertia and bounce. You control the behaviour through a virtual spring, setting its elasticity, frequency, and settling time. This produces the familiar kind of motion commonly used in UI design. The controls are presented through a simple and minimal UI within After Effects.
Spring Ease can easily create a camera with position and point of interest preconfigured. This lets you get a camera in place without configuring those settings manually. Beyond that, the plugin focuses on its target-based animation system and the spring controls for elasticity, frequency, and settling time. For a look at these features in use, a demo video is available on the developer's page.
Spring Ease is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the most current details on pricing and usage rights, it is best to check the developer's page directly. The plugin is at version 1.0, released on September 11, 2025 as its initial version, and it is developed by grape design for After Effects. A demo video is also linked there.
