Intro to Maya: Lesson 8 / 10 - Animation Basics II (Timing and Tempo)

In this quick tutorial lesson, I show you how to adjust the timing of your animation using the Time Slider and Graph Editor.

Created in Maya 2020.1

Hey everyone, just a quick note:

Unfortunately, the ongoing Covid situation has somewhat impacted my production speed (mainly, my video editing setup at home is not as efficient as what I'm used to). Rest assured, the project-based Rocketship portion of the tutorial that goes along with these two lessons is coming soon (probably sometime next week, followed closely by the big finale, part 10, and some other cool stuff I have waiting!). I just figured I'd release these two pre-lessons a little early to give you all a head start.

Stay safe everyone!

Thank you so much! Easy to learn. It took me 10 minutes to understand which I otherwise would have easily thrown away hrs on.

Great video, perfectly explained! Would be nice to get a series on scripting with this high production value.

glad I found Really want to know the basic and also interface

Why we can delete keyframes by right-clicking either the Channel Box or Time Slider and how and why white thing went to translate X then delete selected and everything went away then it went to bottom then went to delete
What is time slider
Why it showed red square over number 42 at bottom
Why white thing started moving at bottom and some grey thing started moving from left to right
Why grey thing stopped at number 45
Why shift dragging either lets us select multiple items at once for deletion… and how and why is it showing shift ^ green + white with blue at top left and why when you said shift dragging it showed shift + dragging and what does this all mean
What is deletion and shift and shift dragging and multiple items
Why did some parts of bottom become red
Why …or in case of the Time Slider, repositioning… and how and why did white thing go to red square at bottom right then red thing turned into white square and why bottom turned red again and why or scaling and red thing on top of number at bottom became smaller and why these are great for making quick, general timing adjustments to our animation and how
What is time slider and repositioning and general timing adjustment
Why was grey thing under the numbers at the bottom moving to right
Why to make more detailed timing adjustment, open the graph editor and how
Why did white thing go to windows then it showed a bunch of white words under then white thing went to animation edition then it showed more white words on the right then white thing went to graph editor then everything went away and what did all the words mean
Why is it now showing graph editor and stuff under and what does this all mean
Why this shows the selected object(s)’ keyframe progression over time and how and why and is one of the best ways to get a sense of an animation’s flow and how and why was yellow thing moving from left to right then right to left and why we can isolate specific attributes by selecting them and how and why did yellow thing move to middle of red thing then to the very left them white thing went on translate Y and what were the things on top and under translate Y
Why was (s)’ next to objects and what does this mean and what is animation’s flow and keyframe progression and isolate and specific attributes
Why did red thing go away and it only showed green and yellow thing was moving from left to right
Why it started moving closer to green ball
Why and navigate using similar controls as the viewport and how and why it showed pan: alt/option green + white thing with blue on middle top and dolly: alt/option green + white thing with blue on top left and why select points and adjust their curvature by dragging tangents and how and why left side of green thing started moving up and down while white thing was also moving and why gentle slopes indicate gradual ease-in or ease-out… and how and why while sharp slopes make the animation more uniform or abrupt and how
What is gentle slopes and indicate and gradual and ease-in and ease-out and navigate and similar and controls and viewport and adjust and curvature and dragging tangents and sharp slopes and uniform and abrupt
Why ball moved slower when you said gentle slope and in some way when you said sharp slopes and yellow thing was moving
Why it showed two pictures of ball
Why yellow thing moved to the right and green thing had some weird shape
Why we can change the type of curvature using these buttons and how and why we can also move or delete keyframes here too, which is handy for modifying specific keyframes on specific attributes while leaving the rest of the animation alone and how and why was white square over orange circle on green thing
What is type of curvature
Why white thing started moving on squares at the top and it made noise every time
Why ball started moving to left when yellow thing moved to the left
What is specific attributes and delete and modifying
Why white square went over orange dot on green thing and yellow things started moving to the right
Why ball moved back
Why as yellow thing moved left ball bounced on the ground
Why white thing went on orange thing on the left of green thing and moved to the left the it moved back to the right
Why it showed del then some green and orange circle went away
What is del
Why yellow thing moved to the left then right
Why finally, if we don’t want to bother with setting keyframe manually we can turn on “Auto Keyframe” down here and where and why it showed red square around orange circle and why white thing went on it then it made a noise and why when this is on, Maya will automatically create a keyframe anytime we change an object’s attributes and how and why just be careful: this can quickly snowball and fill our Time Slider with a LOT of keyframes and how and why it showed ball going over white thing then bouncing on the floor then stopping and why did you say LOT
What is automatically and objects and create and manually and “auto keyframe” and time slider
Why did white thing go on yellow thing in front of green ball then it moved forward and why it showed 48 and red square over it then it showed rectangle at top next to number
Why it showed -450 next to rotation z then red thing started pointing at red rectangle next to rotate

Sir, Plz upload Full Video Facial Rig Manualy in Maya

I am just here to see If Maya UI is better compared to blender...But In my opinion Blender UI is user friendly and u can animate objects very fast, also modeling, sculpting, rigging, everything is super easy.

Plz upload full video of all the interface of the graph editor their uses in animation

[realitydrendered]

0:20 Delete selected from the channel box deletes all of the keyframes on my timeline. Where can you set it up to work like in this video?

Hey guys. When can we watch bifrost new content ? A lot of time without anything new
