What is easing?
Also called: ease in, ease out
Definition
Easing is the gradual speeding up and slowing down of a movement, so it starts and stops gently instead of abruptly.
A zoom that jumps from still to full speed looks mechanical. With easing, the camera accelerates into the move and decelerates out of it, the way a physical camera or a hand would.
"Ease in" is the gentle start, "ease out" the gentle stop.
In Sceed
Every timed thing in Sceed eases in after its block starts and out before it ends, so the block is exactly where the effect is visible.
