Animation is choppy and won't fix

I'm working on this for a school assignment and completed the blockout last week. When I opened the file again today, I tried to continue animating and adding breakdowns. But, it just won't stop jerking between frames. Some things move slowly, like the eyes, but everything else is just? not working???

 

I attached a screenrecording as well, in case it'd help. I just have no idea how to fix this.

Check your graph editor. It looks like some of your controllers still have stepped keys, which is causing that pose-to-pose motion. Make sure all your curves are set to smooth interpolation, like Auto.

Hi!

Check if Enable Stepped Preview is enabled.

For further help, please upload the scene-file.

After having changed the curves and tangents from the stepped setting and turning stepped preview on and off, I still have no idea how to fix it. I put the file here as it wouldn't let me upload it directly here for some reason.

Hi!

You have to select all nodes that are animated.

I don't know how you did the selection, but some nodes are missing.

Check this in Outliner and make sure to select everything (then it works).
