Whenever I animate, if I want it to go smooth, I would put no wait blocks, and put a ton of costumes that are the same. How do people make their animations so smooth and like not jittery? Like swinging their arm. When I do it, you can clearly see the frames, and everything, it just doesn't look good.

Try using more FPS (and make it so it works as if next costume, wait 0.05 seconds) and smear frames. It also works to use different sprites to add more frames if there are too much costumes as it also reduces lag, also making it smoother. Or, if you wanna try a different way, you can try using rotation blocks and glide blocks like animation meme people. Hope this helps!

A very good method in animating is linear interpolation. Basically, you create “key frames” that are important.

Let's say you want to animate a ball falling down. The “key frames” would be the ball starting in the air, the ball hitting the ground, and the ball bouncing back up. You animate these frames first before making anything else. After you make the frames, you can fill in the frames in between, in an organized manner. That way you make sure your animation is smooth.

I used to do 15-20 frames for, say, a person jumping. But now I do easily 60-90. Keep the frames small, but keep them going. Don't use wait seconds for half a second or a quarter of a second unless you want slower jump.
Also, it you smear your animation it will look more natural because you don't see the exact frames.

Thank you. I also had similar queries and this has definately helped!

The question I have is how to make a smooth left to right tilt animation

If your FPS is 15 the wait should 0.016 milliseconds.

everytime I tried to make something smooth it just not smooth enough
like i didn't try to a make a animation i just leave it there.

You need to explain your problem further or show what is going wrong. I also recommend creating a new topic rather than posting on this 5 year old one, so it's focused on your problem rather than the original poster's.
