Squash & Stretch Pro V2

Animate smarter, not harder.

Squash & Stretch Pro is your behavior-driven tool for fast, professional animation — no expressions, no complexity, just beautiful keyframed motion in seconds. Version 2 brings multi-behavior randomness, enhanced text control, and a fresh set of new behaviors to level up your workflow.

Real-World Results in Under a Minute

See what Squash & Stretch Pro can really do — no fluff, just results.

Our "30 Days of Better Animation in After Effects" series delivers 30 bite-sized tutorials, each just one minute long, showing how to create polished, real-world animations using Squash & Stretch Free and Pro.

Key Features

Handcrafted Animations – Every behavior in Squash & Stretch is designed by professional animators to deliver a natural, high-quality feel. We believe real creativity can’t be automated — and each animation reflects that personal touch.

Intelligent Adaptation – Squash & Stretch automatically adapts each behavior to fit your layer’s size, position, and timing. Already using keyframes? No problem — it smartly adjusts to blend in with your existing animation.

Extensive Behavior Library – Browse a rich selection of behaviors in the built-in gallery. The Free version includes 40 animations, while the Pro version unlocks the full library — plus support for add-on bundles to expand even further.

Built-in Sound Effects – Bring your animations to life with sound. Many behaviors come with matching sound effects that are added automatically — or you can use them independently, just like a stock audio library.

Intuitive Controls – Need a bigger bounce or more stretch? Just adjust simple sliders like Oomph and Squash to fine-tune your motion — no technical setup required.

Edit with Ease – Squash & Stretch creates clean, editable keyframes — not complex expression rigs. That means you stay in control and can easily customize every movement to fit your style.

Version Comparison

What’s New in Version 2

Apply Multiple Behaviors at Once
This is the game changer. Instead of applying animations one by one, you can now select multiple behaviors and apply them all at once. Squash & Stretch Pro V2 will randomly assign one of your selected behaviors to each layer — or, for text, to each character, word, or line depending on your setup.
What used to take several steps — like manually splitting text into characters and applying individual behaviors — now takes just a single click. Perfect for creating varied, complex animations in seconds.

Animate Text Exactly How You Want
Version 2 introduces a smarter text exploder that fully supports per-character styling and gives you total control over how animations are applied: as one object, or separately per character, word, or line.
Whether you're animating a headline or an entire paragraph, you decide the level of detail — with zero prep work.

Bigger and Better Behavior Library
V2 expands the built-in library from 60 to 171 handcrafted behaviors — nearly 3× more creative options out of the box. Plus, all behaviors from V1 have been refined to look even better and adapt more intelligently to different layer sizes and aspect ratios.
And with support for add-on bundles, there’s even more to explore when you’re ready to go further.
