can AE do 1)Photoshop or Flash distort, skew, warp etc. transformations?,2) mask tween:ease in/out?

Hello AE Community,..

1) does AE have or can be made to perform Photoshop or Flash distort, skew, warp etc. transformations?, (these save incomparable time in path editing rather than AE's limited transforms and manual point and tangent realignments)

2) when shape(mask) tweening in AE is it capable of what Flash calls ease-in/out, or what Illustrator and CorelDRAW calls "speed"or "acceleration" respectivly?

thanks for any help,

Jeff
