Ease and Wizz

  • Hi Roger, not sure why but your comment isn't showing up here. However I did get an email describing the issue where three easing options aren't showing up for you. Can you please open a ticket so we can get to the bottom of the problem? Thanks!

  • I just installed Ease and Wizz, put it in the the SpriptsUI Panels folder, and opened AE. It shows up under the "Window" tab and I can open it...however, there's no button to apply the expression. I followed the steps laid out in the instructions. Twice. And still no "Apply" button. Any thoughts?

    Thanks!!

    Same here - I'm on the most recent version of CC on a Mac.

    If anyone is experiencing this problem, please make sure the palette is large enough to show the Apply button – sometimes it just needs to be resized. Otherwise please open a ticket and I'll look into it further. 

    Thanks, Ian
  • Hi!

    How do I undo the ease and wizz if I just want regular keyframes?

    Hi Anna, the easiest way is to just option-click (alt-click if you're on Windows) the little stopwatch that has the expression. You'll know it worked if it changes from red back to the default. Adobe has more info about removing expressions.

  • Hi. I've ran into a glitch on a few different projects now and thought I should finally see if something can be done about it. There is a small adjustment glitch when using Expo In + Out. In this case it's for a 3D position. The animation is super smooth right up until the last frame before the keyframed endpoint. Then the position jumps a bit to get to the final value. For example the z-values for the last four frames goes 3028 > 3026 > 3024 > 3000. It's like it can't calculate getting to the final value smoothly and comes up short, then jumps on the last frame to get there. Any ideas?

    Hi Seann, 

    Are you using version 2.1.1? Click the little question mark next to the apply button to check. That version will hopefully eliminate the jump. If not, please open a ticket and I'll have a look for you.

  • I just downloaded ease and wizz and I followed the instructions exactly. The panel appears in After Effects but every time I click "apply" the following error appears. 

    ¨I can't find this file: "inOutExpo-easeandwizz-all.js"

    I looked in here:/Applications/Adobe after Effects CS6/Scripts/easingExpressions"

    I am using an iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) and After Effects CC Version 13.7.0.124 

    I already had the "ScriptUI Panels" Folder and the only thing in there are both the Ease and wiz.jsk and the folder labeled "easingExpressions" with all the .js files. 

    I would love to be able to use this but I don't know why it is not working.

  • Hi, and thanks for this super useful tool.  

    I have a question about an issue I'm encountering, and am wondering if it's specific to E/W, or if it's just a general AE issue.  

    What happens is that I can select and animate points on a curve normally, but as soon as I apply E/W ("Curvaceous" on), I encounter extreme difficulty in selecting those points again.

    Here's an example I hope will help illustrate the issue.

    Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Hi Sam, 

    Is it possible that you have two instances of After Effects on your machine? I noticed that the screenshot you posted said it looked in "/Volumes/Applications/After Effects …", on my machine it says "/Applications/After Effects …", which might indicate that you have a copy of AE on a volume other than your startup disk. 

    Otherwise it looks like you've set it up properly! I'd suggest re-downloading and installing a fresh copy. If you're still having difficult please open a ticket and I'll see if I can help out.

    Hi Brittnell,

    Thanks for your message, I'm glad you like it! Unfortunately I believe that's an issue with After Effects. My best advice is to disable the expression when tweaking the path. Sorry!

  • I purchased this product yesterday but it doesn't have an 'Apply' button when I install it. I've tried twice and both times I get the same result. I'm working on a PC with the latest version of After Effects.

  • Hi, 

    I just downloaded ease and wizz and I followed the instructions exactly. The panel appears in After Effects but every time I click "apply" the following error appears. 

    "I looked in here: '/Applications/Adobe After Effects CC 2015.3/Scripts/ScriptUI Panels/easingExpressions'. 

    Please refer to the installation guide and try installing again, or go to:
    https://aescripts.com/ease-and-wizz/
    for more info."

    I am using an MacBook Pro (Retina, 15'', Late 2014) and After Effects CC Version 13.8.0.144 

    I already had the "ScriptUI Panels" Folder and the only thing in there are both the Ease and wizz.jsx

    I would love to be able to use this but I don't know why it is not working.

    Hi Rebecca, 

    Can you please double check that there is a folder called easingExpressions in the ScriptUI Folder as well? It should be full of files that end in .js. Please open a ticket if these files are all present and I'll try to help get to the bottom of this.

  • hello

    Sounds like a false positive. There is obvisouly no virus in the download. It's all text files, you can inspect it yourself.
  • Download report a virus to me.
  • Download report a virus to me
    This is a false positive being reported by the new Windows Defender definitions. You can safely ignore it.
  • I'm getting the same issue downloading. This seems like something new to Windows 10 (or possibly a recent update of Windows 10). It looks to be the javascript expression files that are causing the issue, not the .jsx file.

    Although it looks like I found a work-around. I copied one of the javascript files over individually from a USB drive, and Windows warned that the type of file may be harmful. I told it to keep the file anyway. Once I did that, I was able to re-download the original zip file from Aescripts without having Windows warn about it.

    Yes, I think Microsoft in its infinite wisdom has decided that any .js file must be virus!  But as we have now stated many times, there are, of course, no viruses, you can inspect the .js files yourself.  These are all false positive. I would urge you to report this to Microsoft so they can fix it.

    Thanks for looking into this. It occurs to me that there's no real need for the files to have a .js extension. I'll look into changing the expressions to have .txt extensions, presumably that will eliminate any virus warnings.

  • Hi there,

    I've installed E&W and can open the panel under the window menu. When I apply it to a keyframe, the position numbers turn red like in the demo, but the numbers do not change. In the timeline it says that the E&W effect was applied, but I see no noticeable difference. It looks exactly like it did before I applied the effect. Does anyone know what is going wrong?

    Hi Cassondra,

    It's difficult to troubleshoot without having a look – do you mind opening a ticket? Then you can send me an example and we can get to the bottom of it.

    does anyone know how to attach the ease and wizz window in the normal interface of after effects. Since the update to 2017 it is only possible to open it in a new window :-(.

  • just downloaded and installed this using AE 2017 and there is no apply button. Is this plugin out of development with no updates? 

    Is there an alternative to this plugin that does what it does and works on AE 2017?

    Hey David, can you try resizing the palette window to ensure you're seeing all the controls? Sometimes it can get cut off, and there's no indication that that's happened. Please open a ticket if that doesn't solve it. Thanks.

    Download the latest version and be sure to also copy the 'easingexpressions' folder of .txt files into the same place as the.jsx file.

    This was what was causing my problems - somebody might find this useful to know.
