# Ease Graph

## Description

When working with keyframes, the standard After Effects Graph Editor can sometimes be overkill and confusing, and other-times simply awkward to work with as you have to navigate off the Timeline and change the After Effects UI.

The Ease Graph in M⁴ can Preview selected Keyframe values (simply select a keyframe to see M⁴ Live Poll the value) and also gives a more intuitive preview of the Ease Easy values. The actual Ease Values will also be mirrored to the Ease Sliders below the Ease Graph.

{% hint style="info" %}
In the current M⁴ release, the Ease Graph only works with Influence values (*which is often enough for animation*) but Speed will also be available on a new Easing screen. 
{% endhint %}

## Ease In & Ease Out

Clicking and dragging to the left or, right of the **Ease Graph** allows interpolations to be Ease In and Ease Out.

## Ease Ease

A special zone in the middle of the **Ease Graph** allows interpolations to be mirrored to Ease In and Ease Out.

{% hint style="info" %}
The **Ease Graph** and **Ease Sliders** have a reflective relationship. When either are adjusted the opposite shows the same data.
{% endhint %}
