NEUCURVE - AFTER EFFECTS EXTENSION

"Professional Easing & Animation Curve Tool for After Effects"

NEUCURVE is an After Effects extension that helps animators create, modify, and apply complex animation curves quickly and intuitively.

1. FIVE MAIN ANIMATION MODELS

- BEZIER: Standard easing control using Cubic Bezier handles.

- ELASTIC: Spring-like animation with oscillation (Amplitude, Frequency, Decay).

- BOUNCE: Physical bounce simulation with Stiffness and Bounce count controls.

- STEPS: Stepped animation (stair-like) for "stop-motion" or "hold" styles.

- CUSTOM: Freely draw curves using an anchor and handle system per segment.

2. INTERACTIVE GRAPH EDITOR

- SHIFT SNAP: Helps align handles to common grid values (0, 0.5, 1).

- ALT BREAK: (In Custom mode) Break handles to create sharp corners.

3. PRESET & LIBRARY SYSTEM

- DEFAULT PRESETS: Includes standard presets such as Ease In/Out, Bounce, Spring, and Steps.

- USER PRESETS: Save your own custom curves into a personal library for reuse in other projects.

4. TWO APPLICATION METHODS (APPLY)

- BAKE KEYS: Converts the curve into actual keyframes in the After Effects timeline. Ideal for traditional keyframe control.

- EXPRESSION: Applies the curve using After Effects expressions. Advantage: Keeps the timeline clean (only requires 2 keyframes: start/end).

5. MODERN FEATURES FOR FAST WORKFLOW

- REAL-TIME PREVIEW: A moving ball animation that follows the curve to preview the motion feel before applying it to keyframes.
