About Squash & Stretch Pro
Squash & Stretch Pro generates editable keyframes by applying behavior presets, removing the need to hand‑key each animation. The Pro edition provides the complete set of behaviors and additional text‑animation controls for motion designers. It supports After Effects releases from the 2026 version back through CC 2015, covering each yearly build in between. Version 2.0.005, released on May 4 2026, fixed the update‑check mechanism; earlier 2.0.x updates addressed behavior loading, the oomph parameter, hidden‑file handling on non‑macOS systems, and error handling for unreadable animations. A demo video is available on the developer’s site.

Best for
