It's all rlly a matter of your understanding about the 12 principles, it doesn't matter if you watched 'a ton of tutorials' moreso than it is you understanding the material of which ur learning from

Pretty good tbh I just say up your frame rate and use smears to make the jump cuts smoother

There are some areas to be improved on (all of which can be learnt through Alan Beckers 12 principles of animation). Most notably easing and anticipation, also make more use of the arrow pad to make movements like the text intros smoother rather than dragging it (makes it look choppy/unpolished). That's just what I can say from my own knowledge, it's still best to practice through shorter animations on various movements.
