# Slow In / Slow Out Mastery

## The Physics Principle

Objects in the real world don't move at constant speeds—they accelerate from rest and decelerate to stops. Slow in/slow out (also called ease in/ease out) captures this fundamental truth. Without it, animation looks mechanical. With it, motion feels alive.

## Core Theory

**Slow Out** (Ease Out): More drawings clustered at the start of a movement. The object accelerates away from its starting position gradually.

**Slow In** (Ease In): More drawings clustered at the end of a movement. The object decelerates into its final position gradually.

**Linear motion**: Equal spacing between positions. Rare in nature, useful for mechanical elements or stylistic choice.
