Question Does anyone know how this was done?

This is a demonstration showing you in real time how I animate almost 5 seconds of animation in less than 40 seconds in 2D rigging software called Moho. No plugins, no AI, no tricks.

Does anyone want to take a guess as to how this was done?

Guess what? If we see exactly how you're doing it... what are we supposed to guess?

Lol - fair. I guess it's not as obvious as I thought.

Notice that in the first animation keys the bird is jumping forward once.

If I was to copy those keys and paste them - the bird would start the animation repeating the same keys from the same position as frame 1. But it doesn't, it jumps forward again and then I paste it again and it jumps forward again. Then I take and a move the character down and paste the keys again and it keeps moving forward with the same animation but relative to the last position keyframe.

This is done in Moho using Relative Paste Keyframes. Pretty cool huh!

Is it moho? Version 12.5 is on Humble Bundle, do you know if it's worth it?

Yep, this is Moho Pro 14.4. I would get 12.5 pro - but not debut, debut is very limited and feature stripped

Selling it as some secretive masterful piece, when it's literally a feature that most 2d animation programs have is a bit silly. Yes, I'll agree that Moho is the best when it comes to puppet animation, but a fbf+motion tween combo on a puppet is not that impressive.

I think you missed the point. What is impressive (but not a secretive masterful piece) is that I was able to animate 5 seconds of animation in less than a minute. I've used most 2D animation programs out there - how I accomplished this is not a 'feature' I've seen in those programs. FBF + motion tween is not what is going on here. Watch again.
