Easying keyframes- seeking guidance

Question

Hi,

I am struggeling with something , Please seinors help me. So I know I have to apply easy ease, or easy ease in, out, to the keyframes- to make keyframe's motion smooth. linear makes it look robotic. right?

so what if I have 12/20/40 keyframes of position and rotation of a character doing something with its hand. do I need to make them all easy ease?? or suppose I have a perticular part where I need to make the motion swift or slow, only then I would select ''all those assosiated keyframes'' and apply easy ease to those ONLY and I would leave the rest of the keyframes as it is (linear)?

I am losing my peace over it. Please guide me. In the attached example do I need to make all the keyframes F9 (easy ease) ? Or only the part where I feel like here motion should be fast and make those keyframes easy ease and go to the graph editor and tweak them.. Thank you.

Thanks for reaching out, Suraiya.For such animation, I'd need all three techniques to achieve the desired result. I'd select all the keyframes of all the body parts and then apply Easy Ease on them. Then, I'll go to the Graph Editor and manually adjust the curve of the keyframes to control the speed. There would be very few keyframes that need to stay on Linear. This is how I animate characters, but it's not the only technique out there.Hope it helps. Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions. Thanks,Nishu
