Hello! I am a new animator and wanted to talk about timing for a second. I know through tutorials online that timing is suppose to be done towards the beginning of the animation but I found recently a technique to re-time the sequence after the animation. She does it by baking the animation on 3s then moving the keys to adjust the timing. I was wondering if any veteran animators had some more techniques for adjusting the timing of the animation after the fact.
I also had a thought about a tool that doesn't exist but in theory it would work, a interactive re-timing tool. When I scrub on the timeline with my mouse at the rate I want, my animation looks good. That's obviously going to be different than if I did a play-blast and watched it at actual speed. So what if there was a tool that allowed you to scrub through the animation at the rate you want and it pastes the keys on the timeline as you're scrubbing. So that when you go to play the sequence back at 24fps, it should play at the rate you scrubbed. Therefore having the timing you want.
Just a thought but I am open to as many techniques, tools, or videos you all have to share and I appreciate any input.
