Join Steve Wright for an in-depth discussion in this video Keyframing: Maximum digression, part of mocha 2.6 Essential Training.
Another efficient keyframing strategy is to add keyframes on the frames with a…maximum digression or difference between your roto and the target.…I'll show you what that means here.…By the way, I'm using the Insert.mov clip from the Lesson_03_Media folder, and…I'm using the Max Digression.mocha file from the Project Media folder.…Let's say we want to roto this thumb, so we'll start out by finding the…most complex frame.…So I'll Play the clip. Get it cached.…
Okay, now I'll scrub through looking for my most complicated frame and it looks…to be about frame 26.…All right, so let's zoom in on that, and I'll set my In point here.…Next, I want to find the next extreme so I'll just scrub through here looking…for where that thumb comes to a motion halt.…Looks like about frame 37 as I'm seeing the step forward and backward.…So it coming to an end and then going forward right there on 37.…
Okay, so we'll set the out point there.…Then we'll zoom the Timeline to fill the whole Timeline with this short section.…
