#How to tween in synfig studio software#
Sophisticated animation software enables the animator to specify objects in an image and define how they should move and change during the tweening process. When animating in a digital context, the shortened term tweening is commonly used, and the resulting sequence of frames is called a tween. This animated GIF demonstrates the effects of Adobe Flash shape, motion and color tweening. Optical effects such as motion blur may be used to simulate the appearance of a higher framerate. Different components of a shot might be animated at different framerates – for example, a character in a panning shot might be animated on twos, while everything in the shot is shifted every frame to accomplish the pan. Slow movements may be animated on threes or fours. Modern animation will use various techniques to adapt the framerate to the current shot. Animation "on twos" dates to the dawn of animation – Fantasmagorie (1908), widely considered the first fully animated movie, was animated on twos. The decision about the number of inbetweens is also an artistic one, as certain styles of animation require a not-so-smooth fashion of movement. Computer generated animation is usually animated on ones. When the number of inbetweens is too few, such as 4 frames per second, it will begin to lose the illusion of movement altogether. Most movements can be done with 12 drawings per second, which is called animating "on twos". Only very fast movements require animation "on ones", as it is called.
Typically, an animator does not draw inbetweens for all 24 frames required for one second of film. If the animation team is small, animators will often do the inbetweening process and complete the animation amongst themselves.Īnimation "on twos" dates to the dawn of animation, being used for instance in Fantasmagorie (1908) Dick Huemer created this system due to it's efficient nature, it has been used since the 1920s. Following this, the scene is then handed down to the assistant of the keyframe assistant, the inbetweener which completes the animation.
After testing, and approval of the rough animation, the scene would be passed down to their assistant who moves on to clean-up and add the necessary inbetweens, or in large studios only the breakdowns, which define the movement in more detail. The process of inbetweening with traditional animation starts with the senior or key artist drawing the key frames which define movement. Traditional inbetweening involves the use of light tables to draw a set of pencil-on-paper pictures.
