SynthMock
Expo redistributes movement within the shot. Use it to make the transition decisive, then give the viewer a clear destination instead of keeping every moment equally busy.

A paid plan is required to use templates and export.
Choose where the speed belongs
Open the selected effect’s easing controls and find expo under Curves. The In, Out and In Out choices change where the move accelerates or settles. They operate between your existing Start and End states; they do not create a larger camera move on their own.
Out is useful when you want an immediate move that settles toward the result. In emphasizes the departure later in the interval. In Out gives a more concentrated transition between quieter ends. Treat those as starting choices and review the actual scene.
| Variant | Useful intention |
|---|---|
| Out | Arrive quickly and settle on the app |
| In | Build into a departure |
| In Out | Connect two quieter compositions |
Author the move before judging the curve
A tiny difference between the endpoint angles remains tiny with Expo. Create a meaningful but controlled change in camera or Fold first. Keep the screen in frame throughout the path.
- Select the effect and set a clear Start and End pose.
- Open Curves, choose expo and select the appropriate variant.
- Play the full shot at its intended duration.
- Check whether the audience has time to recognize the interface at the destination.
- Adjust the angle change or duration if the move is too timid or too abrupt, then recheck the adjacent shot boundary.
Keep speed from becoming visual noise
A two-second shot can contain a strong move and a readable result, but a dense interface may need more time. Judge the content, not just the curve thumbnail. Avoid adding blur merely to conceal a path that is too aggressive.
If two connected shots appear to hesitate, inspect how their easing variants meet. Matching poses does not automatically match speed. Review a representative MP4 after export so the timing is judged in the format people will watch.
