Frame-by-frame is a technique used in animation and video production where each individual frame is created or manipulated separately. This method allows for precise control over the movement and timing of characters and objects, resulting in smooth and detailed animations. It is commonly used in traditional hand-drawn animation, as well as in stop-motion animation, where physical models are moved slightly between each frame. In digital media, frame-by-frame animation can be achieved using software like Adobe Animate or Toon Boom Harmony. This approach contrasts with other animation techniques, such as tweening, where the software automatically generates intermediate frames between keyframes. Frame-by-frame animation is often praised for its artistic quality and attention to detail.
