After Effects: Animate with keyframes and Easy Ease

Demo summary
The tutorial shows how to set position keyframes on the timeline and apply 'Easy Ease' to create a smoother sliding animation.
Step-by-step
- Move the playhead to the point on the timeline where the animation should end.
- Click the stopwatch icon next to the Position property to set the first keyframe.
- Move the playhead back to the beginning of the timeline.
- Click the keyframe icon to the left of the stopwatch to add a second keyframe.
- Drag the second position value until the image is off-screen.
- Select both keyframes on the timeline.
- Right-click a keyframe, navigate to Keyframe Assistant, and select Easy Ease.
Tips
- Use Easy Ease to make animations less boring by having them start slow, speed up, and then end slow.
