Thank you for this , this was deeply needed , perfectly simplified and to the point and im glad my google , "how to make timing charts " made this video recommended to me
Hi! Glad to know that this video finally helped you understand timing charts. You're so welcome! 🙌 I hope you'll keep on animating. Keep going! Keep learning and keep animating 😁
I tried animation in the past, frame by frame and it's really demotivating when you spend a lot of time on drawing and the end result is bad or not what you hoped for. This video might help me in the future since it motivates me to try again. Thanks!
Hi! I hope you'll try to animate again 😊 Animation can take up a lot of time but it can also feel so fulfilling. It's not for everyone. But if it's your passion, I hope you'll give it another go. Expect the result will be bad. We've all been there but I hope that won't demotivate you because the next try will probably be a little bit better, and the next one after that and so on.
I think I read somewhere that timing charts come from actually timing out an action, like on a stop watch. You would act out an action or scene, you would time how long it takes to do the action, and you would mark your poses on the timing chart. Then you would go back through it and mark out the in-betweens. Hence it being called a timing chart instead of spacing chart.
I just got to the timing charts chapter in the Animation Survival Kit and i got super scared cause i thought they looked too complicated but you explained it so well, thanks💕
Genuinely the best breakdown and explanation of this process I’ve seen! I have watched so many videos about timing charts and still couldn’t understand it. Thank you so much for this you’re a life saver 🙏❤️
Honestly the editing on this video could not be more perfect. Everything just helps point out how things are related between the timing chart and frame timeline
As someone who does no animation whatsoever, this was a really cool breakdown on a process I thought would be much more complicated than it actually is!
it'll get a bit intimidating once you get to see an actual time sheet..lol! that's what the oldtimers did before..plus the timing bars written on the top right/left of every animation sheet.
Hello! I am a young artist who is interested in animating, this is the first video I've seen with timing charts and I immediately went from knowing nothing at the beginning to understanding everything you said at the end! This was a very easy to understand video that did teach me a lot! This was also the first video I've seen from this channel and I do plan on watching more! You earned a new subscriber and I am glad that I stumbled upon this!
ok, i can now read timing charts, that is cool, thank you very much! But, how i can know, how many frames i need for different movements, if I plan my animations. Should i use stopwatch?
I've been animating on my own for years, but I needed to learn this, so I can prepare myself when I eventually animate with someone else, thank you so much!! great video and explaining!
just going from changing the name from “timing chart” to “spacing chart” actually made it make a lot more sense to me. the name always made me confused and resulted in me putting the *spacing* on the *timeline* , not spacing the drawings themselves. who the hell decided to call it a TIMING chart?? they made it so confusing for no reason
sorry to break it to you, but timing charts are pretty hard. The average person just won't be able to get it without actually using it on a regular basis, the nature of a timing chart simply varies too much. Its easier to understand that each thing happens seperately, but in the animation you bring them together, so all you have to do is align them and make the illusion of it happing at once. It's way easier to explain that to people and then get them to make their own jank timing charts.
Another tip, try to keep your key poses on odd numbers if possible, it saves a lot of headache. Sometimes you have no choice but to use even numbers, but try to keep them odd.
@@merryherb because it stops you chart from dividing weirdly if that makes sense. It could sometimes make the chart go into thirds unintentionally. Test it out, make a chart with keys from 1 and 8 and try to divide it evenly
This is fantastic. Totally get it now. Let's get a petition going to rename it the SPACING chart and save future generations from easily avoidable confusion.
Thank you so much! I am from Peru and the topic was very difficult for me to understand, but thanks to your video I can put it into practice, keep it up!!
Thank you sooooo much!! After watch a lot of videos about timing charts FINALLY I found one video that explains in a clarity and easy way, I understood everything. As a 2D animator beginner is super useful, right now I will practice with this new knowledge and I will recommend this video too
Reading timing charts in animation is like deciphering a treasure map drawn by a hyperactive squirrel-lots of squiggly lines and hidden gems, but once you crack it, your characters will dance like they've had too much coffee!
Thank you so much for making this video, its really opened my eyes to how i can make animating easier since it always felt impossible to me. I’ll forever use this video as a guide for timing and spacing.
Realising the timing chart is actually a spacing chart was also a bit of an “aha” moment for me a few years ago. You’ve done a great job explaining this! Thanks ☺️
❤️🔥♦️ I understood timing charts randomly when watching a sakuga compilation reel from someone on youtube. I said "what is that thing over there, what are they writing" then I analyzed it. Then after looking for a few minutes, I finally got it. From my perspective, it measures the distance traveled + timing. Because based on his animation, it skips far from the key frame to the in between when the time chart has a big leap to the next line. So that's basically how it went through my mind, it's very simple. I always think it's just the distance from the start to the next frame. The more the lines are compressed, the fewer distance or transition into a new pose it takes.
Dude you really cooked with this video! haha, I can't believe that before watching this timing charts were so esoteric to me, and now it seems so simple! The cherry on top was when you mentioned how timing charts are actually spacing charts, I really feel like that section is what solidified the explanation in my head. 10/10 Video!
Hi! Glad that you liked it. And I appreciate the review at the end 😄 Yes, the moment I realized that timing charts are in fact spacing charts, that's when the light bulbs light up in my head. 😄 Glad that you came to the same conclusion
3 to 5 years studying animation, both in school and on my own. 4 years working as an animator. And still, I always learn something new from videos like this. Great work.
This was the most concise explanation I have ever seen on spacing charts and how to use them. This beats every video on here about them by light years and I've come away with the knowledge on how to apply them effectively. I was only guessing my timings and spacing a lot of the time based on intuition, because no one could explain the chart in a way where I wasn't confused. Thank you so much.
Great working ❤🎉, can explain the next video about 12= principles of animation like what is the 12 principles of animation and how to use it, ok thank you god bless you🙏💕
Hi! Glad you liked this video. Hopefully you learned from it too. We already have discussed some of the principles here. :) We're not sure if we're going to make that video. First there are a lot of videos that explain that already esp. Alan Becker's video. Second, we're already including some of the principles in our videos. And each of our videos has concept plus application. So you just need to look at our channel and pick and watch the topic that you want. But who knows, maybe in the future, we'll make a video specifically about the 12 principles. 😊
So the time charts help indicate speed and impact of the movements. The build up of a punch will have big gaps between frames to indicate a fast swing, and slowly stop at impact or maximum stretch.
This is amazing. I love that this video walks you through the drawings as if youre animating yourself so it feels like all of this techniqual info is being applied. For anyone else learning, id also like to recommend Dong Chang on TH-cam if you want another example of animation breakdowns but from the perspective of professional anime.
Thanks! So much thought has been put on trying to achieve what you have described. That was the intention and the design. Glad that it came across that way. Much thought and effort has been put into this and you noticing the "art" behind the teaching made that effort worth it 😄 And I also follow and subscribed to Dong Chang. I have a couple videos on my watch later list 😄
Oh my god this is great. I feel like I can already start helping myself with my shots and animations using this. I like also how you say “it’s a puzzle to solve” that’s honestly what gets me excited about drawing, every time I get to invent, solve and present new problems to solve and ways to achieve emotional effects. Thanks!
Dude, you don't know how I THANK you with my whole heart litteraly ! Beautiful. Thank you all (I mean I guess there is a strong team behind the camera) Whoa ! Cheers ! (It's coffee time but i don't mind lol)
Your video might be the clearest and easy-to-understand animation tutorial I've ever seen. Recently I didn't really have a clear depiction of the breakdown and it made me struggle for a while until you showed a jumping animation with the depiction of the breakdown. That literally blew my mind it feels like something just clicked in my head that adding a breakdown could make a huge improvement in movement. Thanks for the tutorial, keep up your work.
You're very welcome! Thanks for letting us know you also watched the jump tutorial! 🙌 Glad to know our videos helped you in understanding animation better. Keep at it! 🙌
Heey, How do you actually know how to calculate how may frames do yo need?? this video was so usefull I finally understand, I'm trying to learn animation by myself THANK YOU
wow... I just started learning animation myself, and I avoided timing charts cause they looked a little confusing and intimidating, but now im mad i didn't learn it sooner! It's so useful! I think i'll definitely be using these from here on out just for myself, especially as i get a hold on spacing and speed, I think it will be really useful. Thanks so much for this!
Thank you marv, this really helped me visually understand the concept of timing and spacing, it's still a bit difficult determining halves of positions in motions that have camera movement but I think references help with this a bit. Thank you again.
I hope someone can help me with my big problem, how can I identify my frame numbers based on my timing chart, I usually do if my timing chart center |----c----| I put the (c) in the center of my frames 5/10 and this keep messing my animation
I left a question typed out, but looked at the chapters and I think it should be answered by another chapter. You're teaching so well that you're anticipating your student's questions!! question for reference, thinking it will be answered in "with multiple keyposes": Question, sometimes I see animations "overshooting" or "bouncing" (not sure how to call it, but it's like if the end pose frame 9, it would overshoot on frame 11 and go back to what it was in 9 on 13)
I was introduced to the 12 principles of animation in the wrong way, because Timing should be third on the list to study. As I see it, it would look like this: 1 - (Solid Drawing); This already has its own principles to study and will take long enough to learn. 1.1 - (Appeal); I even think that appeal already comes under Design that we can include in solid drawing. 2 - (Arcs); This makes an absurd difference to animations. 3 - (Timing); In this case your video was surgical in its analysis and explanation. watch the video. 3.1 (Slow in and Slow out); It's funny that the principle itself could only be Timing, but everything is fine. 3.2 (Follow through and Overlapping Action); I think they're in the same universe of knowledge. One complements the other. 4 - (Anticipation); 5 - (Squash and Stretch); 5.1 - (Exaggeration); this is another one that could be combined, in this case with Squash and Stretch 6 - (Straight Ahead Action and Pose to Pose); 7 - (Staging); 8 - (Secondary Actions); A good sequence to study emmmm. I'll even save the list here lol I liked the video, congratulations on the content.
I never started animation because I didn’t understand anything I was watching or reading about. But I might try again after this video. I’m gonna go watch your other stuff now. Instant subscribe!
Hi, thank you very much for this video. I found it very interesting, and the way you explain things is very clear. However, I have just one question: how do you know how many frames you need? For example, in the video, you show that you have pose 1 and pose 9, but how do you know in advance that it’s nine frames and not 10 or 11? I hope my question makes sense. Another question I have is, if you want to add more poses, like anticipation or something similar, where do you add those frames? I hope you can help me with these questions. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for this video. I recently figured out "space and time". But I didn't understand how the rulers worked. Very clear video, not just words but pictures. I finally figured it out.
I didn't know that I needed to understand timing charts because I always work on my own animations, so I did all this in my mind. But I am working on a project that will require a team, right now! This was a very convenient time to watch this video, don't you think?
This was super helpful! I never really understood what the purpose of timing charts was, let alone how they worked, but now I do! I'll definitely be using timing charts more often than not now!! ✨
I've been wanting to get into animation since i was a kid, im 19 now and found other ways to express art through story telling and dumb simple drawings and comic art that I enjoy. But I could never shake the feeling of making my art come to life through animation. (One of those if only thoughts) though I highly doubted my capabilities to understand and honestly thought the animation world was just too complicated for me. This video just inspired me to actually give it a try. I'm glad I gave the video a chance, I was hooked! Thank you! 🎉
thank you very much sir, I was grasping the concept of timing charts but couldn't understand it well enough to use it properly..... until I came across this video. thank you so much!! 😊😊
I'm currently doing my own research on the principles of animation as a beginner, and this simple yet very complete guide motivated me to get my pencil, and have fun doing simple animations again. Thank you so much!
Good video! I feel like I can read these now. One thing that I didn’t see in the video that im curious to know how you’d approach it via the chart is overshoots, drawings that go beyond the spacing of the keyframe, but aren’t themselves a keyframe. I have a few ideas how I’d do that, but seeing how you would handle that, and explaining it in the same way you did everything else here, would be very insightful!
Hi. Thanks for explanation. That was great! My problem is that how do you decide to put the key frames for example on 1 and 9? How do you decide the timing?(frame 9)

and im glad my google , "how to make timing charts " made this video recommended to me
As someone who did go to animation school, you did a much better job explaining it than any of my teachers
Wow! That's so nice of you. Thanks! 🙌
True 🤣
No bro it's because by watching this video you learning it the second time, check back to your lectures, it's the same.
@@ribos2762 who are you to decide that LOL
Ditto.
timing chart being about spacing is the missing piece i needed xD
Right? They should have named it spacing chart 😂
"Timing charts" should really be called "spacing charts" because that's how you read them.
Agreed! 🙌
I HAVE BEEN CONFUSED ON THIS FOR AGES. AGES. THANK YOU, I AM FOREVER INDEBTED TO YOU. HALLELUJAH 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Hi! Glad to know that this video finally helped you understand timing charts. You're so welcome! 🙌 I hope you'll keep on animating. Keep going! Keep learning and keep animating 😁
A timing chart is not for timing, but for spacing. Usually with equal time
Exactly! Glad to know you got this key take away from the video 😁
then its spacing charts
@3than0lvideos22 Nope. It's A timing chart to know how keys are "spaced" in "time".
I tried animation in the past, frame by frame and it's really demotivating when you spend a lot of time on drawing and the end result is bad or not what you hoped for.
This video might help me in the future since it motivates me to try again.
Thanks!

@@plainlysimple Thank you for the reply. I actually have all character designs ready so i will give it another go soon! Thanks for motivating me!
IVE BEEN WAITIN YEARS FOR THIS GOOD GOD MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED, thank you
You're welcome!
its not hard to google
Unless you forgot what a fram chart is called
As someone who has been animating for years, i finally understand it
Glad to know that 😁
Never thought ,that the day I join ,I will get the video on the topic I really needed
🙌

Ah, that's what I need. Thank you for making this, as a self-taught animator, I feel discouraged because I didn't go to animation school.
Glad to hear that! 🙌 I'm a self-taught animator too. Don't feel discouraged. Just keep going! 🙌
Same! But it feels great when something clicks!!
As an animator, I commend this video, it even taught me things about timing charts I didn’t even know, specifically the use of curves in the charts.
Happy to help 🙌
Sir please create a tutorial for background lighting your video timing is 19:59 type background lighting please sir one create video
That could be an idea for the next video
I just got to the timing charts chapter in the Animation Survival Kit and i got super scared cause i thought they looked too complicated but you explained it so well, thanks💕
This man is saving US OUT HERE. I always wondered why I wasn’t getting this. The naming threw me off and now I completely get it. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH

Beautiful. Thank you all (I mean I guess there is a strong team behind the camera)

That literally blew my mind it feels like something just clicked in my head that adding a breakdown could make a huge improvement in movement. Thanks for the tutorial, keep up your work.
You're very welcome! Thanks for letting us know you also watched the jump tutorial! 🙌 Glad to know our videos helped you in understanding animation better. Keep at it! 🙌
Heey, How do you actually know how to calculate how may frames do yo need?? this video was so usefull I finally understand, I'm trying to learn animation by myself THANK YOU

Title: timing charts explained simply
Me: finally....in other videos everythings so complicated....
*sees video length*
Me: What the fu-
WOAH, I really needed this. I think I finally understand it but I'll have to mess around and practice with it. But I'll do my best to keep it in mind!
This is exactly what I've been missing all these years!
Thank you marv, this really helped me visually understand the concept of timing and spacing, it's still a bit difficult determining halves of positions in motions that have camera movement but I think references help with this a bit. Thank you again.
I hope someone can help me with my big problem, how can I identify my frame numbers based on my timing chart, I usually do if my timing chart center |----c----| I put the (c) in the center of my frames 5/10 and this keep messing my animation
I left a question typed out, but looked at the chapters and I think it should be answered by another chapter. You're teaching so well that you're anticipating your student's questions!!
question for reference, thinking it will be answered in "with multiple keyposes": Question, sometimes I see animations "overshooting" or "bouncing" (not sure how to call it, but it's like if the end pose frame 9, it would overshoot on frame 11 and go back to what it was in 9 on 13)
I was introduced to the 12 principles of animation in the wrong way, because Timing should be third on the list to study.
As I see it, it would look like this:
1 - (Solid Drawing);
This already has its own principles to study and will take long enough to learn.
1.1 - (Appeal);
I even think that appeal already comes under Design that we can include in solid drawing.
2 - (Arcs);
This makes an absurd difference to animations.
3 - (Timing);
In this case your video was surgical in its analysis and explanation. watch the video.
3.1 (Slow in and Slow out);
It's funny that the principle itself could only be Timing, but everything is fine.
3.2 (Follow through and Overlapping Action);
I think they're in the same universe of knowledge. One complements the other.
4 - (Anticipation);
5 - (Squash and Stretch);
5.1 - (Exaggeration);
this is another one that could be combined, in this case with Squash and Stretch
6 - (Straight Ahead Action and Pose to Pose);
7 - (Staging);
8 - (Secondary Actions);
A good sequence to study emmmm. I'll even save the list here lol
I liked the video, congratulations on the content.
I never started animation because I didn’t understand anything I was watching or reading about. But I might try again after this video. I’m gonna go watch your other stuff now. Instant subscribe!
How to read timing charts (It’s really not that hard):
30+ min video
Hi, thank you very much for this video. I found it very interesting, and the way you explain things is very clear. However, I have just one question: how do you know how many frames you need? For example, in the video, you show that you have pose 1 and pose 9, but how do you know in advance that it’s nine frames and not 10 or 11? I hope my question makes sense. Another question I have is, if you want to add more poses, like anticipation or something similar, where do you add those frames? I hope you can help me with these questions. Thank you very much.
Please add Ukrainian subtitles! Thank you!
Thank you brother for this wonderful video... I finally understood the concept❤
can say something about how to improve digital drawing skills ??
Thank you so much for this video. I recently figured out "space and time". But I didn't understand how the rulers worked. Very clear video, not just words but pictures. I finally figured it out.
I didn't know that I needed to understand timing charts because I always work on my own animations, so I did all this in my mind. But I am working on a project that will require a team, right now! This was a very convenient time to watch this video, don't you think?
I could put subtitles, I'm from Brazil, and no subtitles appear. thanks
Eu também 😂
Hi! Subtitles are now available 😊
@@plainlysimple thanks, brother
This was super helpful! I never really understood what the purpose of timing charts was, let alone how they worked, but now I do! I'll definitely be using timing charts more often than not now!! ✨
thank you
now I understand
because i’m bad at planning
this thing is really harder for me 😩
I've been wanting to get into animation since i was a kid, im 19 now and found other ways to express art through story telling and dumb simple drawings and comic art that I enjoy. But I could never shake the feeling of making my art come to life through animation. (One of those if only thoughts) though I highly doubted my capabilities to understand and honestly thought the animation world was just too complicated for me. This video just inspired me to actually give it a try. I'm glad I gave the video a chance, I was hooked! Thank you! 🎉
Oh man! I’ve been looking for an explanation for this and even in my own language is so confusing! You just made it right. Thank you so much!!! ❤❤❤❤
Regarding 8:24, an explanation for why the keyframes are equally spaced: The ball moves less distance in the same amount of time, a.k.a. slowing down.
This video is actually legendary. It made me understand so much more than just timing charts honestly. Thank you so much!!!
thank you very much sir, I was grasping the concept of timing charts but couldn't understand it well enough to use it properly..... until I came across this video. thank you so much!! 😊😊
If I bought your course and I'm using clip studio paint app, is that okay with u
THANK YOU you solved something that was a mistery for me, I'm learning all this by myself just like you did!
I finally understood timing charts thanks bro
I'm currently doing my own research on the principles of animation as a beginner, and this simple yet very complete guide motivated me to get my pencil, and have fun doing simple animations again. Thank you so much!
Thanks 👍
Good video! I feel like I can read these now. One thing that I didn’t see in the video that im curious to know how you’d approach it via the chart is overshoots, drawings that go beyond the spacing of the keyframe, but aren’t themselves a keyframe. I have a few ideas how I’d do that, but seeing how you would handle that, and explaining it in the same way you did everything else here, would be very insightful!
Hi. Thanks for explanation. That was great! My problem is that how do you decide to put the key frames for example on 1 and 9? How do you decide the timing?(frame 9)
This is wonderful. Thank you so much for providing this amazing resource.
Your tutorial is amezing man ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much ❤️
Great video, thanks so much for this explainer!
