This guide will present you with many valuable skills that every sfm'er should own. Also, with your animation try smoothing it some and maybe add a little more anticipation.

Also, I recommend you binge through this amazing series created by Alan Becker. He goes through the very unique animation principles that every animator on any medium should understand.

There is a smooth slider on the procedual tab for the animation set editor. So you don't have to play around with the motion editor or graph editor for hours on end trying to smoothen an animation.

You're not even close to asking for tips.I'M not even close to asking for tips.Work on the 12 principles of animation.And i dont mean just be able to recite them, i mean actually use them.thats the first step in any animators life. The 12 principles of animation are the ones that assure a smooth animation that looks right.Most animators on youtube are at that stage, of trying to master these very 12 principles.most notable of witch, even tough all of them are important, are timing and spacing, arcs, staging, slow in slow out, pose to pose. If you master every one of these.And i mean REALLY master, youll always achieve the smooth motion you see in any profesionally animated movie.Make a lot of tests, trying to work on all of these.
Good luck!
