Overview
Flow is a small panel that solves a problem every motion designer has: the graph editor is powerful and nobody wants to open it forty times an hour. Select a pair of keyframes, click a curve in the Flow panel, and the easing is applied. That is the entire interaction, and it removes what is otherwise the most repetitive part of animating in After Effects.
The panel holds a library of named curves with a live preview on each one, so a project can settle on a house easing and every animator applies the same one by name rather than dragging handles by eye and producing forty slightly different results. Custom curves are drawn once in the editor, saved with a name, and shared as a preset file across a team.
It handles more than simple two keyframe cases. Multiple layers and multiple properties can be eased in one action, separated dimensions are respected, spatial and temporal interpolation are treated separately, and there is a mode that applies an overshoot or bounce profile derived from the curve rather than requiring an expression rig. Because it writes ordinary keyframe interpolation, a project sent to someone without the panel installed still plays back correctly.
What it does well
One click easing
Select keyframes, click a curve, done. No graph editor, no handle dragging, no second guessing whether two layers match.
Named preset library
Save curves with names so a project or a studio can standardise on a house easing that everyone applies identically.
Multi-property application
Ease across several layers and properties at once, with separated dimensions and spatial interpolation handled correctly.
Overshoot and bounce
Derive an overshoot or bounce profile from the curve without building an expression rig on the property.
No dependency on delivery
It writes standard keyframe interpolation, so a project opens and plays correctly on a machine without the panel installed.
Changes in this build
- Preset library reorganised with folders and a search field.
- Curve editor now shows a live motion preview alongside the graph.
- Improved handling of properties with separated dimensions.
- Keyboard shortcuts added for the first nine presets in the library.
- Fixed a case where applying to a very long selection was slow on large compositions.

System requirements
| Processor | Whatever runs your host application |
| Memory | Same as the host, the panel itself is negligible |
| Graphics | Same as the host |
| Storage | 50 MB free |
| Display | 1920 x 1080 recommended, the panel docks in a side column |
| Host | After Effects, current and recent cycles, 64-bit |
Installation
- Close After Effects completely before installing.
- Extract the archive to a local folder.
- Run the installer and point it at the After Effects version you use.
- Apply the included configuration step before launching the host.
- Open After Effects and enable the panel from the window menu.
Before you start
Scripts must be allowed to write files in the host preferences or the panel will not load.
Installing for one After Effects cycle does not cover another, run the installer again per version.
Custom presets live in the user profile, export them before reinstalling the host.
Questions about this title
Does the recipient need it installed?
No. It writes normal keyframe interpolation, so projects open fine without it.
Can I make my own curves?
Yes, draw one in the editor, name it, and it joins the library. Presets export as a file.
Does it work on multiple layers at once?
Yes, across layers and properties in a single action.
Which host versions are supported?
The current cycle and several before it, selectable at install.
About this listing
This entry was checked on a clean install of Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit) before it was published, and it is rechecked whenever the package is rebuilt. The figures on this page come from the site index rather than from the publisher, so the download count is what people here have actually pulled.
If a mirror stops answering, use the contact form and it gets replaced. Reports about a specific title are handled faster than general messages because they name the file, the mirror and the point at which the transfer stopped.
Requests for a different version, a different language build or an older release go on the requests page. Older versions of a title are usually still held even when only the current one is listed.
