ease in - ease out, or ease out - ease in? is there a common defintion of those terms amongst animators? richard williams and lots of other books refer to ease out as gradually getting faster, easing in as slowing down. Digital Tutors and others define it the other way round (ease in = accelleration - ease out = slowing down). which version is correct or at least commonly used by professionals?

thx

Richard William's is correct (he's the man).
Not that DT is wrong they're just defining it differently....Don't confuse yourself and just stick with Richard's principal...

In all my years, I only ever heard one way until last year (in a piece of software)...and was surprised as it seemed so antithetical to my way of thinking.

Ease In in animation camera work meant easing into the hold position...and the same for drawings.....easing into the next key...and also in stop-mo....easing into a stop or change of direction.

Ease Out was the reverse as you would think.

So I'll be in good company and say, Richard William's is correct, and that's from two different continents.

Best,
Rick
