[[TUTORIAL]] 7 Tips for Smoother Animation

[@Zedrinbot]

"Does this work in--" Yes. Yes it does. These techniques are not program specific, they are principles that apply to everything from paper and pen to Blender's grease pencil.

[@apexlegendsrecap278]

Thanks a lot for your effort!

[@breadstik9114]

I’m using flipnote on dsi

[@L06ANA]

Zedrin would 15 frames per second work for a starter I’m not a good animatior and it’s my normal FPS and I want to improve my animation

[@Zedrinbot]

@@L06ANA That'd work fine--it'd be like animating at 30fps on 2's. 12-15fps is a good way to start. Just remember: identify your keyframes first, and work around those, instead of trying to rush to a bunch of detailed bits as they come along. For roughing things out, yo ucan even go smaller, e.g. working on 3's or 4's.

[@bok_soon0713]

I always screenshot this type of comments, to purposely scold myself everytime I get lazy on animating or drawing in general😂 your words will now get stuck in my head from this moment on.

[@ohboy1113]

Planning is like actually 90% of it. Getting the right keyframes is the only part that I’ve ever struggled it. Once you get that, the line work may take a while, but it’s guaranteed to look good as long as you put some time in and have well timed and smooth keyframes.

[@Zedrinbot]

If you can, Toon Boom and Flash are both some of the go-tos and can adapt to a variety of approaches. TV paint is another popular one for hand-drawn animation. OpenToonz is free and exceptionally powerful, even being used by Studio Gibli and Futurama at points, but very complicated. Pencil2D and Pivot are free as well but are very very simplistic.

[@GetToDaChoppa-k5r]

Look into Krita as well. It is very powerful software and FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@Zedrinbot]

Ah yeah, Krita's interesting. Temmie Chang (artist for / cameo in Undertale) uses Krita herself. If you look her up she has a short film she released here on YT a few months back that's excellent. From what I know it's friendly to people who prefer frame-by-frame methods.

[@kairos8452]

If you have an apple device you should try folioscope its easier

[@GetToDaChoppa-k5r]

Temmie Chang, hmm, interesting. I'll look into that. I like the cut out style as it is better for independents but I am working on short that would suit the traditional style better. I wish Krita could do both (hybrid animation is cool) but maybe it will with future developments. You are an awesome animator and teacher by the way. Respect.

Actually, these 7 tips are valid in 3D animation too. There might be some differences, i.e. with no-motions which tend to look "dead" easier in 3D thant in 2D. But the base cores are quite same.

[@colonelcat8639]

Every time I do 3D animation, something goes incredibly wrong and I cannot figure out which park it is to fix it. For example, I could animate a rocket with many parts, but only part of the nose cone moves while another part twists and moves at a slower rate. This has hilarious consequences.

[@dancamp6012]

@@colonelcat8639 i dont know what software you use, probably blender, but stuff moving at diferent rate usually happens because their transformation values are diferent, if you use blender, apply transformations or freeze transformations in maya, however i recomend grouping your geometry and animating those groups instead. pardon my english

[@dissonanceparadiddle]

In case anyone wants to easily jump around in this video. 1:10 tip 0 plan your work out before hand 1:30 tip 1 not everything needs to be animated on ones (aka every frame doesn't need to be a new drawing 2:01 tip 2 prioritize your frames 2:35 tip 3 weight 3:09 tip 4 timing 4:11 tip 5 distortion think smear and deformation for fast motion 5:03 tip 6 scrub your animations 5:42 tip 7 you don't need constant motion you need better timing.

When using flipaclip i usally use three to 6 differnt frames for a smooth animation, i use 12 frames per sec then I usally copy and paste my end parts 2 then keep the others leading up to it 1 frame and this makes it smooth This all to help some people plz dont get mad

[@Zedrinbot]

yep, smoothness more relies on consistency with your frames vs. the positioning, rather than the number of frames you use. More frames can help, but only if you keep em consistent. Inconsistencies are what make smooth animation look not smooth.

[@devillass6025]

Zedrin I animated a rough (no details added I mean) walking animation with Flipaclip. Friends are telling me "it's amazing!", even my animator friend who thinks it's better than his, but I'm not sure. Is there any way I can send it to you and possibly get any needed critique?

great video, there are so many people with great art and consistent forms and could be great animators but there big problem is timing, for some reason most people dont plot out timing, i think its because you dont really do that kindof thing in any other art form and is a strange concept to people who have been illustrating and are just starting animation. glad to see someone address that :D good job

I'm currently looking into animation on Adobe Animate and i'm trying to pick up new tricks to start a hobby of making stick figure/simple character animation. I'm slowly gaining more understanding of tweening and simple fluids of shapes (Easing in, out, etc.) but I still have a long way to go. However, I've learned even further on how long animation takes! It's crazy that in most cases animators aren't recognized enough as video-gamers. They put in so much effort and they should get the recognition they deserve!

Now I have an incentive as well; I could put these animations into my KZbin videos or something

[@Swooncraft]

Thanks, this really filled in a couple holes I felt I had in my process.

You got my sub, I hope to see more discussions about animation soon (=

[@rexwrecks2735]

I think the key term to remember for animation is to give the “illusion” of movement. Not drawing every single action. Good tips.

[@gracev7855]

Well put explanation. Timing and planning are so damn important! And you have great shapes and posing that flow well from A to B. As much as I rely a lot on timing, I equally rely on the shapes of the inbetweens for clarifying the movement.

[@Tubeytime]

"If your animation is legible without the frame, it's not a key frame" writing this so it sticks in my memory

[@yourfriendpel]

Well spoken! I still remember the days that I only worked in 1's and the belief that raising the framerate would help. But when you export 28 fps as 24 fps the frames kinda lag behind a bit and make the overall flow a lot more stiff :,) I think the only thing I struggle with is consistency (sometimes I forget a few features of the character and I can't really fix it in post production) and making believable smear frames.

[@gonzoworks_01]

I love your content, Zedrin, but I simply must point out that studying the 12 Principles of Animation will provide most of what an amateur will need, at least when it comes to understanding the core theory behind the craft. Not to undermine your efforts here, but I think just telling people to do a little research by reminding them that these principles exist is fair and acceptable. Keep up the good work, Zedrin! Your webcomic is really a joy to read!

[@Zedrinbot]

well yeah that should be obvious. This is specifically targeting the misconceptions about smooth animation. This isn't meant to be a tutorial about how to animate (though a lot of principles for smoother works are a lot more basic than people believe), it's a tutorial about how and why certain things look so polished.

When I make my fight scenes (I haven’t uploaded some of em yet) I like to find the names of kicks or punches, put me down in a notepad then watch videos on how to do em. Sometimes they explain the kick or punch in poses, THOSE POSES ARE YOUR KEYFRAMES when animating fights

Here's another tip, do something relaxing like listening to music while animating. For some reason, it keeps me motivated.
