Tweening

Tweening, short for "in-betweening," is a technique used in animation and graphics to create smooth transitions between two key frames or images. Instead of animating every single frame individually, artists define starting and ending points, and computer software generates the intermediate frames automatically. This process enhances efficiency and allows for more fluid motion, giving the impression of continuous movement. Tweening is commonly used in various forms of digital media, including video games and animated films, to create appealing visuals while saving time and effort in the animation process.
