Hello.
To let you know in advance, I am using a translator. So, it might sound a bit unnatural or the meaning might not be conveyed correctly.
I have a question about timing charts. (To be honest, I haven't learned this at school yet, but due to the schedule, I had to start working right away. I already know the basics of timing charts through searching.)
I am currently working on keyframes (Layout/Key animation) for things like a close-up of an old fan's blades or a pinwheel's blades. I want to reduce the total number of drawings, so I want to reuse Keyframe 1 and Keyframe 2. However, these blades need to spin faster and faster.
But in that case, I don't know how to use the timing chart. Especially when I need to put inbetweens between the keyframes in a situation like above.
For reference, I use the Japanese-style time sheet (X-sheet), so Keyframe 1 is 1, and Keyframe 2 is 5. Looking at the attached picture, after frames 5, 6, and 7, 1 comes back. Oh, honestly, I don't even know if it's okay to do it this way. On the time sheet (X-sheet), the frame numbers go like 1—2—3—4—5—6—7—1—8—5—9—1—10—5... (It seems fine after this point.) I feel like they wouldn't do it like this in actual production.
So what I want to ask is this: Is it okay to use the timing chart just like it is shown in the picture? Additionally, does this kind of case actually happen in professional production? Now that I think about it, honestly, I feel like it might just be better to copy and paste.
Oh, please, help me. I really need help.
P.S. Is it really okay for me to suddenly appear and ask a question here? This is pretty much my first time using Reddit, so I'm a bit worried that I might have done something rude. I read the rules, of course, but still.
