Want the OpenCurve feel inside Premiere Pro? EaseFlow eases the keyframes under your playhead with one click or one key, using real easing curves.

It works with Premiere Pro 2021 to 2026 on Mac and Windows, for $24.99 (Standard) or $34.99 (Pro), one-time, with lifetime updates.

It starts at the playhead

You already live at the playhead, so EaseFlow does too. Put it on or near a pair of keyframes and EaseFlow finds them for you. No selecting keyframes, no right-click menus.

Need more reach? EaseFlow can also ease a whole clip at once. Select several clips and EaseFlow eases every one of them in the same click.

Choose which properties get the curve

Under the presets sits a row of property chips: Position, Scale, Rotation, Opacity. Click a chip to leave that property out. In the panel below, Opacity is off, so a fade keeps its own timing while the move gets the curve.

EaseFlow eases Anchor Point, effect parameters and audio levels too, on video and audio clips.

Keys for your favorite curves

Right-click any preset, choose Set Shortcut… and press the keys you want: Ctrl, Alt/Option or Cmd with a key, or an F key on its own. EaseFlow won't let you pick a shortcut Premiere Pro already uses.

You can give Apply Current Curve its own key as well. Shortcuts work whenever Premiere Pro is in front, with the EaseFlow panel open somewhere, even as a tab behind another panel.

Step 1: Install EaseFlow

After checkout, your license key and download links arrive by email. The guided installer sets up the EaseFlow app and the Premiere Pro plugin for you, on Mac or Windows.

Step 2: Keyframe the way you always do

Set your start and end keyframes in Effect Controls. If you are new to it, our guide on how to ease keyframes in Premiere Pro covers the basics.

Step 3: Set the chips and press Apply

Pick a curve, check the property chips and press Apply, or your shortcut. Every frame between your keyframes follows the curve, and each property you left on is eased.

It is a fast way to finish a panel slide like our sidebar animation. Turn on Auto Mode and new pairs of keyframes are eased the moment you set the second one.

Step 4: Bring in your own curves

Paste four numbers, a cubic-bezier(), a cubic-bezier.com link or a spring(damping, frequency) under the graph. Press + to save it as a preset, star it, and import or export whole libraries as .json files.

See what is already there

Open the panel on keyframes you eased earlier and a faint second curve shows the easing already on them. You always know where you are starting from before you press Apply.

Position moves follow the motion path Premiere draws between your keyframes, so a curved path stays curved after easing. Nothing about your layout changes, only the timing.

Safe by design

EaseFlow never moves or changes your keyframes. It adds only the keyframes a curve needs and remembers which ones are its own, so a new curve swaps just those. One press of Cmd+Z (Ctrl+Z on Windows) takes the easing back off. See the EaseFlow guide for every setting.
