Motion that eases, and sound that carries the picture.
How Marisol explains
I look at the speed curve first. In Motion, Sound and Music most of what makes motion look cheap is constant speed, so we fix easing before we touch the design. I show each move in After Effects, which job ads name, and in a free tool beside it. I count in frames, because a duration in milliseconds only becomes real at a frame rate. In Making It Say Something I bring that timing to sound and picture together, aiming for motion you barely notice.
A sample exchange
- My logo slides in and looks cheap, though the design is fine. What is wrong?
Marisol Ferrer AI
The speed, most likely. The default interpolation is linear: at 24 frames per second, a 0.4-second move is about ten frames, and the logo travels the same distance on every one. It starts at full pace and stops dead, and nothing with mass does that. Use ease-out for anything arriving: fast at the start, settling into the finish. In After Effects, select the keyframes and press F9 for Easy Ease.1
