Hi! Let's understand timing charts once and for all 😄 Timing charts are an essential tool in frame-by-frame animation, but most beginners (and even intermediates) have a hard time understanding them.
So in this video, we'll discuss:
1. what timing charts are
2. timing and spacing
3. how timing charts came to be
4. how to read them
5. using timing charts on various examples
This was a difficult video to make. Explaining timing charts isn't a simple task, but we hope you'll learn and enjoy watching this video.
We hope this will be the only timing chart video you'll ever need. 😁

    I didn't know that I needed to understand timing charts because I always work on my own animations, so I did all this in my mind. But I am working on a project that will require a team, right now! This was a very convenient time to watch this video, don't you think?

    Honestly, I’ve been studying animation for awhile now, and your videos are the first that have made me actually feel like I understand the concepts of easing, halves, and timing in general. I sort of got each step individually before, but it was hard for me to pull it all together in my mind. Your videos have made everything click for me, so thank you for that!

    Your video might be the clearest and easy-to-understand animation tutorial I've ever seen. Recently I didn't really have a clear depiction of the breakdown and it made me struggle for a while until you showed a jumping animation with the depiction of the breakdown. That literally blew my mind it feels like something just clicked in my head that adding a breakdown could make a huge improvement in movement. Thanks for the tutorial, keep up your work.

    This was the most concise explanation I have ever seen on spacing charts and how to use them. This beats every video on here about them by light years and I've come away with the knowledge on how to apply them effectively. I was only guessing my timings and spacing a lot of the time based on intuition, because no one could explain the chart in a way where I wasn't confused. Thank you so much.

    @bingo.7510 Pƙed 4 dny

    Good video! I feel like I can read these now. One thing that I didn’t see in the video that im curious to know how you’d approach it via the chart is overshoots, drawings that go beyond the spacing of the keyframe, but aren’t themselves a keyframe. I have a few ideas how I’d do that, but seeing how you would handle that, and explaining it in the same way you did everything else here, would be very insightful!

  • @pasletemps6358

    Hello. Thank you for this explanatory video on timelines. I have been practicing animation for a few years without going into detail, drawing frame by frame and manipulating the spacing by feeling afterwards. This method seems unintuitive at first but it reveals a powerful methodology that I understand better thanks to you :) Thank you very much, you are a passionate person and it shows.
