Complete overhaul of the Stagger and Distribute functions Staggering is one of the most widely used techniques in motion design.
With the new Bezier controllers of Keystone 3, say goodbye to boring linear staggers and distributions and take your animations to the next level. On top of that, 3 new modes make it more intuitive than ever. Keystone 3 – Keyframe and layer Stagger
Other tools can’t. Keystone can. After Effects is notoriously known for breaking easings when you move keyframes, and other third-party tools on the market don’t do any better.
Keystone is the only tool that performs the necessary calculations to preserve your carefully crafted motion curves. Keystone 3 – Easing preservation
Align your tangents and keep them aligned effortlessly A user favorite since Keystone 1, the “Constant Speed” feature takes away the struggle of aligning tangents by hand. Best of all, these constant speeds are preserved when using any other Keystone 3 function. Keystone 3 – Constant speed
Link / unlink keyframes and layers The “Link” options are arguably the most underrated feature of Keystone 3! They unlock a whole new level of keyframe and layer manipulation, enabling you to link or unlink them in ways that are impossible natively in After Effects. Keystone 3 – Link or unlink keyframes and layers
Up to 3 modes per function Easily accessible with shared hotkeys, modes let you control how keyframes or layers are grouped together.
