About tweening...

i think its about time we finally realize how passé the "tweening is lazy and inferior" ideology is.

i feel all tweening is valid, because what you consider "good" tweening over "lazy" tweening was only made possible thanks to the fact the artist /did/ lazy tweening. i've got several projects i lost over the years where i attempted tweening that looked identical to the "lazy" tweening commonly criticized here. honestly, let people tween however they want. it's the only way you'll eventually /get/ the artist who you consider to be doing good tweening.

[@ystra_53]

soloratiste how do you tween? I’ve always wondered and I can’t figure out how to tween

[@ystra_53]

Of course it’s fine if you don’t answer

[@soloratiste]

@@ystra_53 just experimenting, honestly! planning out how you want the tween to look first is a good idea, so you can seperate the parts you need to tween. from then on you just gotta try stuff, experiment a lil

[@burntsierra_]

@@soloratiste Hi, I know this is a really late time to ask, but what do you use to tween your animations?

[@soloratiste]

@@burntsierra_ i used to use adobe animate, currently i dont actively animate though.

[@Northflowo]

Tweening, in many cases, has better results than frame by frame and can be done faster. Not doing that because it's """lazy""" would be utterly ridiculous.

Saying tweening isn't animation is like saying digital art isn't art

[@FigureFarter]

And electronic or chiptune music wouldn't be art either using that same logic (not yours)

[@lyreni]

I've never understood the whole tweening isn't animation thing. I may not be a fan of the style because I personally prefer frame-by-frame, but I know it still requires just as much work and effort. I've seen fantastic uses of the technique and I most certainly would never give someone shit for using it. I don't think people realize just how useful it really is, your examples really showed it!

[@Monsterfourfourfour]

Yee, I second. Lol

[@wowzaboi5367]

Animation Noun 2. the technique of photographing successive drawings or positions of puppets or models to create an illusion of movement when the movie is shown as a sequence The picture is moving right? So its A N I M A T I O N

•Storm Studios• hehe don’t mind me either

[@blauwbeer556]

@Stormixly I have a problem with the "replying a year later" thing...well how people react to it. Everytime I reply to something that is 2 million years old the dude will only talk about that, and it started to get more and more pointless. Once I had a breaking point when I saw a joke posted a year ago that I laughed at, so I commented "lol". Now let's be honest, lol is such mindless and braindead comment with no value in it except to convey that I laughed at a joke. 5 minutes later: "bro it was a year ago😂" and I got pissed, why do people do this? Really? The internet is forever so why are you surprised to get a reply years later? What is even the point of pointing out (pun not intended) that your comment is year old, especially if it is as brain dead of a response that I gave. Sorry for the rant, i just hate it.

[@EGGPRIEST]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR WISDOM SOLO I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE WITH YOU theres so much i wanna ramble about when it comes to the subject of tweening but you put my thoughts into words hella well

[@BumbleTus]

I am constantly amazed by tweening people do! I've never been able to do stuff like this (I wanna learn!) but its GORGEOUS and people saying it's lazy are so rude. And your tweened stuff Solo? always blows my mind it's GORGEOUS the mapleshade sticks out in my mind all the time

[@CheetehZ]

I feel so valid, thank you

[@ammonitetheseaserpent3761]

Cheeteh Z Your tweening is... MMM 👌

[@bungleded]

of course tweening is a valid form of animation, even if the examples i see are usually stiff as heck, like only the head's moving, or a still character sliding over the background to avoid animating running. all artists start somewhere, you know? too bad people see these and think the artist was just lazy :(

[@soloratiste]

*CORRECTION TO TWO MISTAKES I MADE IN THE CAPTIONS OF THE VIDEO* -The first bit of the last animation is mislabelled. The buildings are going up and the wall down, not the other way around. My bad! -There was a /miniscule/ bit more frame by frame in the You Make Me Feel part. When she unsheathes her claw, I drew a couple of inbetweens of when her claw is sheathed to when they are unsheathed, but only those two or three inbetweens. The rest is, as I said, 100% tweened.

[@animatorireenie8319]

Tweening can look really damn good, when done right and used in the right place. These examples proof it.

[@VyrewoIf]

THIS IS SO VALID YOUR TWEENING IS SO BEAUTIFUL! Actually people don’t understand how difficult it is sometimes

[@shadawraven]

Animating in general is hard no matter what technique some people use, so props to all the animators out there. Respect to you for taking the time to learn :] since 2017 I've been using tweening as a way to speed up my process. It's not cheating and it's definitely not easier either, it's just another way to animate.. I respect animators who use either technique as both require talent and skill

[@jake4725]

[@rattycakes]

The style of tweeting where it is moving from one motion to another is actually really satisfying, and if you do it fast it’s really fluid

[@cheebzmacka1944]

God fucking, thank you for this video

[@crowla]

1 MILLION TIMES THIS! Tweening is an art of its own and a valuable tool for any video artist. It’s also a lot of fun! And anyone who says tweening is lazy hasn’t seen the finished project folders with 30 separate layers to make everything move.

[@kovi1309]

I'm still kinda new to tweening and I'm honestly amazed by how good it can be looking!

[@deleted3741]

I love all forms of animation Ik a lot of people think tweening is lazy but sometimes I think it can genuinely look really good even if u can tell it’s been tweened it can look amazing on its own if it’s done right and edited

[@microglitch9742]

[as someone once said...] *{SHAPE GO WEEEEEEEEEEE-}*

[@UNDERW3RLD]

My only problem with tweeting is that people are switching between same things. Saying it takes ages, but also saying it’s faster.

[@CottenVee]

Sometimes tweening takes an eternity.

[@Biohazardia]

I have to ask how in the world did you do the tweening for the head turn from 0:13-0:15? With a shape tween in Adobe After effects perhaps? But you mention it as a classic tween which I have NO Idea how such a masterpiece of a perspective turn could occur with a classic tween. And I'm guessing you're moving the eye to the side slightly to give the illusion of perspective/masking the pupil over it? Apologies for all these questions, there's basically no tween tutorials for MAPs so I've been trying to figure stuff out by looking at parts. (Amazing work by the way! It's so cool how you combine tweens and frame by frame together!)

[@soloratiste]

The best way I can explain what I did is that I broke segments of the face (cheek fur, markings, eye (which also had several layers inside of a movie clip) and so on and so forth) and then tweaked their scale and rotation to make it seem like a perspective shift. But none of it was done in After Effects, it was all in Animate.

[@mirty-movedchannel6149]

I want to do some tweenings now

[@manojhmali]

TRUE. On my other account fr tweening is hard and time consuming for me. It’s not lazy, sometimes it takes three hours of make a two second tweening animation

[@h-lott]

The Tweening is good but when it is well done

[@BrightBlue925]

It takes practice to improve like any other form of animation.

[@h-lott]

@@BrightBlue925 yes it is also true

[@sperenox]

No matter how you animate you have to do it right if you want it to look good and for you to do it right you have to study so let. them. tween. everyone!

[@rottingpumpkiin7151]

Now this is flawless tweening.. what I mean is I dont like the always head bopping animation meme tweens ;-; I like what u did a lot of effort! I hope u get what im saying

[@ElskaTheAnimator]

Wait wait wait THAT IS TWEENING? I don’t have an animation channel then, it’s a tweening channel lol I just draw 1-4 times the character and then I do a full animation with that

[@jupiterapollo4985]

Bruh that Cat anime was looking kind of sick ngl. I would watch that if you ever finish it lol.

[@johnguy3682]

What application did you use to tween?

[@GachaKittie]

Same with stop motion!!

[@KetsuryuInsanity]

Tweening is bad when you don’t know how to use it, a head bop repeating every frame is lazy but now imma just say though, I do tween a lot though but it’s not one thing moving for the entire video, also anyone who uses shape tweens, you are god

[@Honest_Abe1]

I mean tweening can be done lazily, and generally a lot of people just starting to do animation try it out first. Especially since it can create a finished product faster than frame by frame. So ig that gives tweening a bad reputation, when really, it can be used very affectively and create intricate movement.

[@imatiredSara]

There's definitely lazy tweening, but goddang it looks amazing when done well ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@diamondyoshi6649]

I use tweens in the gameplay of 2 of games of mine and feel like it's a very good technique for smoothing, although it is frame to other frame tweening, not multi frame. I made a script in Scratch that moves the sprite/clone to it's current position in increments customizable by the user, it works well until there's a lot of moving objects, then the FPS goes to hell...

[@sparkledick5000]

I tween because doing frame by framer is alot harder for me and im not exactly an animator

[@thatcreativeguy]

Hey which app did u animate this in?

[@bommed]

tweening and frame-by-frame can both awesome or lazy depending on how its done

[@AlbertWesker-vm1pp]

I don’t think anyone is criticizing tweening overall but they’re criticizing simple head bopping, head hopping is kind of a lazy way to animate but anything can look good if you really try.

[@Paranoiacy]

funny thing is i tween when lazy

[@KulFox]

What is the map and animation community definition for tweening? I keep seeing the term used, but never any explanation. At first I thought it was short for “in betweening”, like frames in between key frames, but from what I’ve seen it’s completely different?

[@fruityfrango]

N9 it's the way you do it I made a whole 5 second gacha tween with front facing and the rig took 2 hours also no hate

[@Randomfiglol]

about tweening it isn't lazy, more convenient tools aren't supposed to be labeled lazy

[@Randomfiglol]

btw, tweening is as hard and time consuming as traditional forms of animation, they just come in different looking results they are both presentable ways of animating
