Using Path Animation in After Effects as a Clean Up Process in Frame by Frame Animation

While this is essentially an after effects animation, we still consider this as a frame by frame workflow. This still follows the frame by frame process of rough animation, then tie downs but instead of cleaning up in animate, the clean up was done in after effects using shape layers. The advantage of this workflow is that the clean up phase is faster and if you want to adjust the timing, you can and you don't need to draw additional inbetweens because it's all interpolated in After Effects.⁠

This is one of those examples that tools are just tools. What you do with those tools matters more. So learn the fundamentals, and you can apply that either in frame by frame, 3d, 2d, motion graphics, or other mediums.⁠
