- Graph editor in SFM can be a bit daunting and confusing to beginners, and even for advanced users, there's a lot of things to dig in to that you might not know about. So in this video, I cover the basic and advanced features of Graph editor.

It's very important to know about the flat tangent (second option), it creates keyframes that ease in and out without applying bezier and "spline" curves
THANK YOU! I have been looking for a simple tutorial on this forever! Everyone constantly saying, use motion editor, watch this video from 10 years ago, or watch this one from a completely different software. I'm saving this for later!
Oh hell yeah, thanks for explaining the offset mode, it's the thing I really needed in my animations, and used motion editor for a similar purpose. Life Changing.
same man sameee
Actually been searching for days for a guide that goes over how to actually make keyframes without 17 parts or a 40 minute video. This went over that and so much more. Very swag money!
just thank you, i cannot express how much you helping me to get into sfm. hope you doing good
Thanks! I’m trucking along
I clicked on this video just to get roasted for using motion editor😭
Lol oof same bruh, and I have like 150 hours of soley using motion editor
Blud uses motion editor xd💀☠💀
@@TheOneAnimator7 not anymore ☠️☠️
@@gromit-gaming only? I have 900 hours😎
The king is back. So glad to have this video, your videos are basically the only reason I know anything about lighting, and this is another great video
Thank you, CGI Joe! The offset mode is a life-changing discovery. The best tutorial by far
I love how your tone changes clearly when ur explaining
This is a great tutorial for beginners! Keep it up
This has been very helpful! Thanks for making this video!
Like, seriously, because I've never seen anyone mention the toggleable buttons, and I was wondering about their importance.
Hey, just wanted to thank you for the tutorials and hope to see more because these are great :D
Thanks so much!! Very helpful as someone using the motion editor trying to use the graph more xD
Finally an tutorial on how to use the graph editor. This is way more efficient!
I really wish I knew about the offset toggle sooner. Thanks for the tutorial!
thank you so mych for showing the offset option its gonna help me sooooo much
I just... Love you...
I was doing the "easing modes" manually, it's so painful.
Thank you so much! I've tried using the motion editor to create motions and it looked absolutely pitiful. It also made my animation glitchy as all hell.
The reason is that I was trying to extend something from a taunt animation but it ended up not looking good.
I first learned how to animate in MikuMikuDance, which only has key frames so the graph editor made more sense to me. Thanks for the tutorial! ^^
The return of the King
Very helpful thanks :)
also nice new model :)
thanks for this!
Thank you CGI Joe < 3
I alr know everything in sfm
But this is good for beginners.
Keep it up.
10/10 tutorial hell yeah!!
I have clocked a total of like, 2 hours on SFM. I have no intention of using it. Why did I watch this video one may ask and why am I subbed to this channel? I don't know...
thank you :-)
I WANT MOAR
This is a great tutorial for keyframes. I knew most of this, but I would definitely show this to someone whos new to SFM. Great Job.
I really wish the graph editor had a break tangents system that worked like maya. Its a ballache finding work around for it
i have been bless by the algorithim thank you CGI joe to teach me SFM
That Helped a lot thanks. Im working on this video and i want my animation to overlay my video just like how you have yours is their a video anyone and send a brother to help them out.
Made it to the end, although I didnt understand after the 5 minute mark lol
You can do animation in motion editor?
Is there any way to have one timeline of keyframes for all bone movement, rather than having individual timelines for each bone?
Nothing like making a sandwich before an sfm tutorial!
nice video. Off I go to graph editor. My computer is haunted
quick question how do you make it so the legs kind of dont go through the ground! as shown in 5:13
I CAN FINALLY MAKE A STOP MOTION LIKE PART FOR A ANIMATION IM WORKING ON!!!!
Can you do walking animation?
Great tutorial here! the only thing is that (how do you MOVE the keys like this?: 1:13) Thank you!
You know I do post to post animation in the emotion editor so then I can edit it in the graph editor but after watching this video let me practice with a graph editor first and then I can edit it in motion editor
LOL I've only used Motion editor. Now I know how to animate better. Thank You!
how do you make your animation of 60 frames i want it at 100
Graphs looked complex so I never used them and now I wish I did
Did you made your own character model?
Was I the only one who was already using graph editor bc I couldn't figure out how to keyframe in motion?
I understand 20% what you talked but I need more…like…beginner beginner Tipps 😅
btw when you hit that "offset" button it records all the data and puts it into the MOTION EDITOR
All movement you animate in the graph editor goes into the motion editor. The problem is animating in the motion editor, not there being anything in motion editor.
hey i just got a issue when i want to move the cam and it says 'no dags found' can you help me?
pls help, when i make a new keyframe and i try to move something on screen, it just doesnt move, i see the lines change on the botton of the screen, but the actual model doesnt move :(
W
Is the background sound from Final Fantasy IX?
how yo put character running animation?
Also what about procedurals?
For some reason the offset button doesn’t activate for me
the more i learn the more it sems the every one knows a different one third of how S.F.M works.
I should change to s2fm?
im just so anoyyed that my model keeps folding itself after i have used it for an animation in the same project once
wait there's people that use motion editor to animate?
today i learned offset was a thing
Why the Flat Tangents not to be considered? Is it for personal style? 2:33
Everytime i move it it places a frame... please help
my only problem with graph editor, is that it offsets the bones of my model. For example, decide to do a ton of rotations to scouts head in the graph editor. Now his head is offset 2 inches off his neck, making it look like his upper spine is dislocated.
That’s odd, I’ve never had that issue. Don’t even know what could be causing it
i hope this helps me get better i just started but there okayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I can't get those tangent buttons to show up help?
Your window probably isn’t wide enough
Yo does this guy have a discord?
how do I add the keyfarmes to not look shit and wooden
i use the Motion editor 95% of the time, yes i'm little bit autism but you don't gonna bring me to your Graph editor religion dude !
Bro is actually insane
You look like a Helldiver, let us dive together someday
Where have you been bro?
In the lab, cooking
Welp! Time to stop using the motion editor for creating my animations
ok so can you PLEASE explain how i can make someone/something move without it turning into weird spaghetti with the graph editor
graph editor just is weird spaghetti bro sry
@@cgijoe5671 dammit alr thanks anyways
@@GuyDontKnow-vi2hn don’t worry so much about the crazy lines though, they’re just a rough indicator of where movement is happening and how steep it is. Look mainly at the poses in your viewport
@@cgijoe5671 ok, thanks mate
CGI JOE
CGI JOE
the tangents dont exist for me
Wait wait wait. YOU CAN ANIMATE IN MOTION EDITER?!?!? IVE ONLY EVER USED GRAPH EDITOR?!??!
You can, I wouldn’t use it for anything other than applying the hotter slider effect to stuff
@@cgijoe5671 Yeah that sounds about right
I'm trying to learn Sfm and i still don't get it.... Looks like I gotta wait more couple years
Until I understand what's going on
Can someone help me please? When I try to spawn volumetric lights instead of the lights there are just white lines, how do I get rid of this?
Sounds like you accidentally enabled show light frustums
@@cgijoe5671 And how do I disable it? I am kind of noob at this…
@@user-kp1jh3ej7t it’s all good. Just right click on the light, it should be around where the volumetric option is. My guess is you just misclicked
@@cgijoe5671 Nope, it’s still the same.
@@user-kp1jh3ej7t I’m away from my computer right now I’ll get back to you later
3:45 i dont see these :(
Well that beginning sucked, I've gotten very good results out of motion editor.
anyways, just wanted to see why so many people use graph editor when it's always caused me so many issues (robotic movement).
my goofy ass didnt catch any of that (on the first watch)
i made it this far
Motion editor
i comment bc i made dis far :D
is hard very hard
ambatanut
My animations are super stiff and robotic, no matter how many keyframes I use....
Sfm is a monstrosity… that’s why I’m trying to learn it with no prior animation experience.
what ta fuck does the motion editor do?
i think you look different...
I evolved
@@cgijoe5671 is your screen resolution higher?
Bruh I’m 11
motion editor is W, graph editor is for normies.
