Well, it definitely helps if you've had previous experience with yiffalicious, but honestly, even then it's quite hard. I usually spend at least 20 hours on one animation, but then again, i'm kind of a perfectionist, so i really spend a lot of time fixing any jumps or lags between timelines. But basically, if you want the timelines to look smooth, you need to first of all, lock all the last keyframes on the previous step (rmb on keyframe -> hold), then duplicate the timeline and on the duplicated timeline, you need to copy the exact same values that you had locked in the previous timeline, to get a smooth transition. The way i do it is - i just fully complete one step, lock all the last keyframes, then duplicate it, and on the duplicated one i delete all the first keyframes and leave only the last ones in. It does take some time to fully master, but it's really worth it, if you have time to do it. You can check out my animations here, if you want -Does that mean that unless you do like someone who already has plenty of animation experience you need to do your best to not make the result look like some choppy lagfest between each timeline?
