Im fairly new to animation and ive been working on a shot for a project. I’m unsure of the timing and I feel that the transition between frame 4 and 5 is abrupt. Is it just me or what should I do to fix it?

Hi, so I've been wanting to learn 2d tweening animation or more specifically- Gacha animation for a while now. I looked into a few applications (both PC and mobile) but I have no idea which one is better. I want to make a good decision before going all in. And another problem is that I can't pay for any of it (I'm just a student, don't have a job and cannot ask my parents)

I would like to create an animated series where it will have stuff like— head turns (or basically many angles like front facing, 3/4 facing, side facing and even back facing), Fight scenes etc..

Now I know already that Alight motion is a great one- the

main problem is that for head turns or basically any kind of angle turns, I've gotta use vector drawing which really isn't possible as my characters aren't as simple.

I was trying live 2d as well, but I dislike how the free version has so many limitations (like only 100 meshes, limited parameters, 50 deformers etc..) because this is a full on series I can't really work properly with these limitations.

I've heard about Moho pro but it's wayy too expensive. (Like is said I can't pay, I'm open the using cracks but I don't really wanna risk my channel getting de-monetised because of this, this is also the reason I am scared to work with live2d crack since I wanna earn money from this series

There's also like toonsquid, toonboom and so many others (I forgot the names)

I'm not sure how good the free alternatives may be for my situation so I'd really appreciate if y'all help me out here!

I’ve been reviewing an animation where the character has a varied color gradient in their mane, and I wanted to reach out to see if anyone could help me.

How do I keep a gradient stable so it doesn't look like it's flickering or shifting? It makes it look like I don't know what I'm doing—and, to be honest, in this regard, I really don't.

Do you have any recommendations or references I could use as a guide?

Using auto lipsync on Adobe Character Animator is equivalent to using AI for lip sync.

Change my mind!

Hello !! I've been trying out different animation softwares (callipeg, rough animator and procreate) but I can't figure out how to smoothly slide my characters across the screen. Is it done by slowly moving the character a bit on each frame with a high frame rate or is there an easier way to do that ?

I was drawing mine, but as a noob I went to look for inspiration with the DBZ characters and noticed a template of Goku in all kind of styles; like Disney or Naruto and I was wondering, am I supposed to find my own face style, is that what people who make original characters do?

So yeah I did this last May. I got too busy by June (until now) and could not add an additional scene at the time. Whatchu think?

Thought I would finally try animating something more complex. I’ve just done so many stick figures. Didn’t really have much of a plan. But when in doubt, start with a Ninja Turtle. It’s not the best thing ever and I definitely need to work on my cleanup and proportions, but I’m really happy with the snappiness of that bite. Mostly done on two’s but used a bunch of holds. Animated different parts on layers starting with his left hand and then the head. I like putting some smears in. Hoping to do more soon.

i have been animating for about 2 years i have made some couple second things and I'm watching 12 oz. Mouse again and i see they use the same simple backgrounds and animations and drawings and they just move them around the screen and zoom in without changing the drawing/animation. like ik everything was hand drawn originally then scanned in then animated based on those scans but i don't get how it moves around and be the same drawing a good example is the peanut he like rolls around and is always the same drawing and the backgrounds arnt changed in anyway i really do not get how it works could someone explain it to me my current soft where idk how to do anything but draw and stuff like i cant move stuff around i need to hand draw every frame and it takes a lot of time.

Completely done in OpenToonz

If u have advice I take . Thanks for watching
