You do not know this when you see the other EXTREME poses. If you only see this drawing you know the cat is jumping. In the example shown above the yellow and pink drawings of the cat jumping, the middle one is the KEY since it tells us the cat is jumping.
So every KEY is an EXTREME, but not every EXTREME is a KEY. There is a big misconception about this (similar to the misconception about ease-in and ease-out), and I absolutely do not want to offend anyone for getting this wrong, but Richard Williams explains this very clearly in The Animators Survival Kit, with a man picking up a chalk.
The KEYS are also the drawings you see in the storyboard, are the storytelling drawings. They don't tell the story, but still are very important to define the action. In the example shown above the yellow and pink drawings of the cat jumping, the middle one is the KEY since it tels us the cat is jumping. INBETWEEN = the drawings that fill in the action between the keys and breakdowns. BREAKDOWN = the drawing that defines the action curve. EXTREME = the most extreme poses in an animation. Also shortcuts for LightTable : Edit Next Key and LightTable: Edit Previous Key have to do with Key drawings, not with Keyframes, but the current shortcuts terminology is using Key to refer to both drawings and keyframes, which are not the same thing.īut a clarification though: KEY and EXTREME are not synonymous. In this case the shortcuts should in fact be named Previous Keyframe and Next Keyframe, not Previous Key and Next Key.īecause when you are using the Image Marks and Flips, the very same term ("KEY") is used to refer to Key drawings. If you set keyframes on a layer for an FX, then you can use shortcuts PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN to jump from the Previous Keyframe to Next Keyframe. But sometimes the shortcut naming convention in TVPaint blurs the lines between these two things by using the term "KEY" for both things.įor example: Layer > Previous Key (shortcut: PAGE UP) and Next Key (shortcut: PAGE DOWN) have reference to KEYFRAMES in the FX stack, not to Key drawings. KEYS (drawings) and KEYFRAMES (in the FX Stack) are not the same thing. So Keyframes are not drawings, but are markers which show the progression of the FX applied to a drawing or drawings. There may be only one drawing (or many drawings), but there can be multiple keyframes applied to that one drawing (or many drawings) of the FX which will be rendered over the selected range of frames. On the other hand, in the FX Stack we have KEYFRAMES, which define FX transformations applied over a range of frames in the Timeline. INBETWEENS: The drawings that fill in the action between the keys and breakdowns. KEYS: The most important drawings or extreme poses in a scene that establish the essence of the action and performance.īREAKDOWNS: The main drawings or positions made between two keys, which define how a character transitions from one key pose to the next key pose.
