I'm working on a script that will provide more realistic bounce and elastic motion, but in the meantime I'm afraid I don't have anything to offer.

Is it possible to adjust bounce amount? I have found back and elastic parameters in expression but can't find for bounce. Best, Alex Hello Ian,

Thanks for very useful script!

The only there is that any filters that scale the image past 100% tend to lose quality - hence the need to animate the mask points. Actually, \i think there are several ways around it using filters.

Given it will be work using 'Curvaceous' but Elastic and Bounce aren't available with these algorithms I'm still a bit stuck I suppose. Hand animation here I come!

That's a hack that should allow mask shape tweening to accept the expressions. Note that the special types elastic and back won't work with Curvaceous, as they actually overshoot the destination value. Here's a screencast I made about this very topic: http://blip.tv/file/2794220 (a screencast that, inexplicably, doesn't appear to be linked from anywhere … mea culpa :) Cheers!

I can’t seem to get this to work on mask points – is it supposed to?

Cheers and thanks for your help so far!

The soundtrack is actually just one of the default settings in the Garageband application ("Jazz", under "Magic Garageband"). I'll email you the MP3 directly.

The "in" part of the equation means that it will look elasticky (if you'll pardon the neologism :) at the beginning, so the expression uses negative values to achieve this. Try it with just "out" easing and see if you get the effect you're after. Ian Hey Yves

Please find here a little test. http://www.vimeo.com/9373978 Just a basic scale from 0% to 100%. I clic on the "100%" keyframe. Add the elastic script. Settings are in+out / all. Got some strange negative scale on the first second. Thanks Yves Hi Ian,

Sometimes the scale will go negative in order to give it an elastic appearance. If it's a problem perhaps you can post an example and give me some detail as to what's happening.

Just a question When i use elastic on a object scale i've some negative scale on some frame in the begining of the animation. Don't know why Thanks Yves Hi Ian,

Nice script !!!

Just a question
When i use elastic on a object scale i’ve some negative scale on some frame in the begining of the animation.
Don’t know why
