Widely compatible with After Effects versions from CS6 to CC 2017 , it works with solid layers, footage, and precomps, bringing an authentic "springy" feel to motion design, character animation, and even static graphics.

Common presets:
Automatically squashes a layer flat or stretches it long depending on acceleration and impact speeds. It removes the need to manually counter-animate the X and Y scale properties. 5. Jiggle Deformer
: These modifiers (Bend, Shear, Squash & Stretch, Jiggle, Bulge, Twist, and Liquid) allow you to apply a specific type of deformation that reacts to your layer's primary motion. For example, a ball falling could use Squash & Stretch on impact, while a waving flag might use the Bend deformer. Micro-interactions are everything
