Posterize Time effect

 

While creating some animated line drawings I wanted to make them slightly more visually interesting than simply adding easing.

line-animation-testPosterize time is an effect which essentially reduces the amount of frames outputted. It gives a great look to motion graphics and works especially well when the animation keyframes have a decent amount of easing applied.

The appearance of motion blur is also reduced by this effect so you might want to experiment.
The original line drawing was created in illustrator and then imported into Ae there’s plenty of guides for how to do this online.
