# Excite

## Description

Excite is a great tool to help with overshooting property values.

## Setup

1. Select a Property, or multiple Properties that you would like to affect. The properties should be keyframed, but keys can also be added *after* running Excite.
2. With the Properties selected, open the Excite tool. Modify any of the Overshoot, Bounce, and Friction presets, and run Excite.
3. An effect control for each selected property will be created, allowing you to modify the overshoot animation

## Options

The Excite options allow you to set preset values that will be applied to the Effect Controls after running the tool. You can set and save these presets for future runs.

## Effect Controls

The Excite tool has the following effect controls:

**Enable**\
Enables the overshoot

**Overshoot**\
Affects the magnitude of the property value oscillation

**Bounce**\
Affects the frequency of the property value oscillation.

**Friction**\
How quickly the overshoot will decay. A Friction value of 0 will continue oscillating and never stop. A very high friction value will stop the overshoot oscillation very quickly.
