1. A method comprising:
establishing, with a computer system, a defined path for a digital element within a multi-dimensional virtual space where each dimension of the multi-dimensional virtual space relates to either a characteristic of rendering the digital element or a spatial position of the rendered digital element;
establishing, with the computer system, an easing to be associated with the defined path wherein the easing defines a rate of change along the defined path with respect to at least one of a defined dimension of the multi-dimensional virtual space, a characteristic of the digital element, a characteristic of an item of content within which the digital element is rendered and temporally;
associating, with the computer system, the defined path and the easing as an effect for subsequent use within a graphics tool; and
storing the effect within a memory accessible to the computer system.
