My first backflip animation

Help and Feedback Art Design Support
#1

So I made this back flip animation after coming back to animating (I am a beginner noob and I stopped learning about it due to school) Now that school is closed… I get to go back to learning my desired skills!
So I made this. I noticed one problem, this isn’t smooth enough and there’s some delays in this. Could you give me tips and trips on how to fix this?
Also, please give tips and tricks on how to make animations better and more realistic please! :smiley: Thanks for reading! By the way, Happy Easter! :slight_smile: :rabbit: :hibiscus: :tulip:

#1 has a slow frame in the middle of the animation and not quick. #2 is the same thing, but much improved. #3 is the same thing as #1.

Probably wanna use special keyframes such as Quad, or something like that to make certain parts of the backflip more realistic, such as the fall.

Like you said it isn’t smooth enough and there is some delays in it i suggest practicing this over and over until its very smooth.

Also i suggest that you practice a simple jump and a fall and landing as this can help with doing a backflip animation and if you want to continue this animation by doing a run up before the backflip i suggest to practice walking and jumping and running and jumping and also running/walking and then falling backwards

Edit:
What animation plugin do you use also?

Personally i recommend using moon animation as its confusing at first but as soon as you get used to it it’s very easy to use so i suggest trying it out and if you get confused just message me and i can help.

you can edit key frames so they have different sort of settings for those key frames you can do this on moon animator by going to tracks then edit key frames and i dont think you can do it on roblox default animation.

Very slow, as @Avilicity has said. the other part is great.

I’m by no means a prefessional but the last few frame for the landing are a little slow. Being at the highest point of a jump should be the slowest and the landing and jumpstart should be the fastest (not including anticipation)
