Squash and Stretch in After Effects

Learn how to make a simple squash and stretch rig in after effects. Also learn how to manipulate key frames using the graph editor, to make your animation feel smooth.

Squash and stretch is one of the principles of animation and it makes your work look that much bette if you apply it.

The expressions used are the following:

Square scale:  x=transform.scale[0]+(100-transform.scale[1])*.3;
y=transform.scale[1];
[x,y]

Squash Controller scale: x=transform.scale[0]+(100-transform.scale[1])*1.8;
y=transform.scale[1];
[x,y]
