Great Video. Finally someone who doesnt tell you that you can get free animations from another website when you want to learn it.

⭕Nice tips! If I may add something, I think keying sets are fundamental but at the same level, if not higher, is the NORMALIZE button. Usually, rotation values in the graph editor get to big next to location values; the normalize button puts everything between -1 and 1 making the action much easier to read. I recommend to always work with normalize option on, because you are going to be more interested in how the values change in time instead of knowing the exact value a key is set on.

Great video! There's definitely a lot of ways to animate, but for me, specially in a production, I set keys on all of the controllers for each Main pose. This way I can have a Blocking to show once it's converted to Step, as well as, easy in-betweens by borrowing from previous and next key frame, for each controller. If I need to delay the action on arm for example, I can grab the arm controllers in-between my 2 main keys, and press Shift-E and drag my mouse closer to the previous main key.
There's definitely a little bit of cleaning up to do for dead keys on the graph editor, but I find this works best for me.

My biggest tip is parenting. If you parent your object to something like an empty before you animate you can move it around your scene a lot easier

[Tomie-jzlz]

The best easiest tutorial I've found. He explained everything perfectly

13 minutes ago I was super against the handle timeline thing and just animated everything from layout view, but now that I know how it works, it's way less intimidating. Thanks man
Also I love how doofy this chicken is

[KevinCBurke]

Just wanted to say that this video is so much better made than many tutorials and the tips are invaluable. Thank you very much!

[brandonjacksoon]

Thank you!!! Really cool tutorial!
Love your channel and your cute characters :))

0:15 No it doesn't look messy it looks great and professional especially the lighting!

[cerocero]

This looks great but I don't know if I could live with the stress of knowing I may animate for minutes with the wrong keying set active.

I'm amazed at how often video tutorial makers say "go ahead and." Once you hear it, you can't un-hear it.

[gillesker]

Super useful video, as I'm transitioning from cinema 4d to Blender. Thank you.

[joeboulden]

Concise and clear. Nice tutorial. Thanks!

[animanoir]

Organization is the KEY concept to work with Blender in my opinion.

[DryadDryAgain]

So many awesome tips here! Autokeying's initial convenience definitely swamped me going forward. Also markers will be my new best friend.

[CaCriGuz]

Thank you so much, I was looking for this information. :)

[JavaJack]

Those named timeline markers are gold.

[geneticallygamer]

I totally forgot about the other types of keyframe colours lol. That would be really useful for me
