What you'll learn

In this Blender tutorial, we'll learn all about its animation tools. We'll start by learning the basics, like setting keyframes, editing the timeline, and how to use the Dope Sheet to adjust things like the timing of our keyframes. We'll also explore Blender's unique animation features, like the in-between tool and the ability to very easily mirror an entire pose. We'll take an in-depth look at the Graph Editor and how we can use it to refine our animations. We'll also learn about Blender's pose library so we can save and reuse poses.
