I can't wrap my mind around keying an animation. What's the proper workflow? Mine is:
>make a base pose
>select all controllers, key
>make the next key pose
>select all controllers, key
>etc. until I have the whole clip
>move the keys around together to better time the animation
>result is keyposes timed well
now what? when I get to breakdowns I always get lost among all the keyframes. as I add more keys to inbetweens the dope sheet gets cluttered by million keyframes and after a while I spend more time looking for the right key to delete than animating.. any tutorials on this?

Most animators animate their first pass on fixed intervals like every 4 or 5 frames etc.
Once the animation is outlined you need to shift and layer the frames to get proper kinetic chains delay/follow thru going.
That tend to clutter up your dope sheet making it rather hard to read, but at least by then you are fairly close to finish and wont need to move anything major around anyways.

Block out poses. You dumb negroid.
It's the same layering system as with everything else

Why do you post (racist) insults while simultaneously posting nothing of value, idiot? He is already blocking out which is very clear if you read his post.

He's prob that one defect anon from /pol/ that thinks it is very important everybody knows how racist he is.
Basically he feels alone in here so he's dog-whistling hopping that more likeminded people show up.

First you go pose to pose
1. Poses needed to tell story - key all
2. Extremes of movements - key all
Then you go straight ahead.
3. Breakdowns - individual controllers
4. Polish from center of mass out - individual controllers.
On step 3. You start deleting unnecessary key frames.
A light rig and proxy mesh help a lot because you can get realtime feedback to your changes. Work in 50-100 frame increments along the timeline.
The animators survival guide lays this out properly on examples. Go and read through the entire book, it will help a ton understanding all the chaos.
