Daniel Brodesky takes a look at creating and adjusting a bouncing ball animation in After Effects to create a bounce in AE using various techniques each time and comparing not only the end results of the animation, but also the process as well.

Unlike the common method we are not going to use many keyframes and dive into the graph editor, but rather save time and get great results using different tools that are available for us

Daniel uses keyframes on one bounce, scripts and presets to create a bounce, and also takes a look at using Newton for After Effects to create a physically driven bounce animation. Check out the tutorial for Using Various Techniques to Create a Bouncing Effect in After Effects here.
