I've been trying to look on Youtube for tutorials, but they're either from 2019 or 2020, I also tried to look into one, but it's from 2014. Can anyone help?

What kind of animation? If you intend to draw each frame by hand (not code an animation, but actually draw it), non-Scratch related tutorials work quite well.

Well I just want to code an animation, sorry for not being that specific, but the main problem is I don't really know how to code all the frames together without it looking a bit too cluttered.

I see. Do you already have the frames and you just want to connect them, or you have one image (e.g. a ball) and you want to use code to move it around?

Have you tried using ease in and ease out?

Ease in is when the animation starts slow, and gradually speeds up to the end of the animation. This can help when simulating gravity or just making smooth animations. Here's an example of ease in:



Ease out is the exact opposite of ease in, meaning that it starts fast, and gradually slows down. Here's an example of ease out:


You can also combine both!



You can make all sorts of cool flips with this! Like with my character, even though he's not human:



Hope this helps!

Well I basically have sort of a storyboard for it, even if right now it's just a sprite.

For @scratchcode1_2_3's thing, that seems like a good idea, can you send me a code example for it, if you can?

Edit: just finished the main sprite.

Could you please share the storyboard? It would help so that I can explain what to code for each scene.

As for @scratchcode1_2_3's idea, there's a simple math formula you can use; you can search it up to see.

Enjoy!

The truth is, that there is almost no code! XD

Anyways, for the first two I only used something like this:

when flag clicked
switch costume to [costume1 v]
repeat (number of frames - 1 :: #000099) // it isn't a real block, just look at how many frames there are and type that number minus 1
next costume

end

But, if you still need it, here are all the links to the examples I sent you:

Ease in: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/874320741/
Ease out: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/874323043/
Ease in AND ease out: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/874325245/
Backflip thing with my OC: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/874327801/

so scratch is being a jerk to me, because I followed all of the instructions in the Scratch Wiki and yet it doesn't accept it.

This is what I have, please tell me if they don't work

Edit: Just found out they're in reverse hopefully this should fix it.

Cool story! You can use the storyboard to flesh out each frame, and then use this code in the sprite (modified version of @scratchcode1_2_3's):

when green flag clicked
switch costume to [frame 1 v]
forever
next costume
wait ((1) / (FPS)) secs //FPS is frames per second, most animations are at 24-30 FPS
end

There's another method, too, that uses the timer.
