Spring

Also called Spring Animation, Damped Spring, Physics-based Ease

Physics-driven motion that overshoots and oscillates around the target before resting; behavior comes from stiffness, damping and mass rather than a fixed curve.

Prompt

Replace [scene] with the shot and [duration] with how long it should take, then paste the prompt into your AI agent. Each prompt includes the name of the technique, so next time you can simply ask for it by name.

This is for a motion graphics video. Drive the move in [scene] with a "Spring" (also called a spring animation or damped spring): a simulated spring pulls the object to its target, so it picks up speed from rest, runs past the target and swings around it before resting.
The motion should come from stiffness, damping and mass rather than a fixed curve — lower the damping for more swings, or raise it until the object settles with no overshoot at all.
Let it come to rest within [duration], and keep the same spring settings on every element so they feel like one material.
