‘Keyframes’
and ‘tweening’ are concepts shared by almost every process that
creates animated sequences, including 3D applications, and video
editors. As such, its very important to understand the basics of
animation.
It terms of the classical animation process it was almost impossible for one person to create a animated feature by themselves in reasonable amount of time. Insted, the primary drawings of an animation sequence – the keyframes – were drawn by a lead animator. In a cartoon character’s leap, those frame might be the crouch, the moment of upwards drive, the top of the leap, and the landing. These keyframes would be passed off to leagues of junior animators, who would draw, or fill in, the frames in-betwen these moments, using the keyframesas a references (thus creating the term “tweening”).
Modern digital media artists are today’s lead animators, with the computer taking work of tweening. What’s important is that they create the better keyframes possible, so that the computer can understand what they are trying to achieve.
When they create the animation, they have the ability to control haw many frames appear between each keyframe, or (alternatively) how much time elapse between each keyframe. As a general rule, the more time/frames between keyframes, the smother and slower the resulting animation will appear; fewer frames tent to result in choppy animation.
Playback smoothness will also depend on playback rate: a higher framerate (i.e. more frames per second) will result in a smoother movement, all other things being equal.
