Adobe Animate 101: Ease-In/Ease Out & Constant Motion

These GIFs showcase the difference between two different movement styles in Adobe Animate - Ease In/Ease Out, and Constant motion. Constant Motion is where the subject is always moving at a constant speed (hence the name), whereas "Ease In/Ease Out" is seen as a more realistic way to prtray movement, where the object starts off moving gradually/slowly, speeding up during the main central chunk of its movement, before slowing down again at the end. Think, when you swing your arm in any given direction, it does not instantly reach its top speed from standing still, it builds speed up, reaches its apex, then loses that speed at the end. This is the principle behind Ease In/Ease Out.
