  2. Rotoscoping

  3. Stop-motion animation

  4. Motion capture
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Keyframe animation is a widely used technique in motion graphics, where animators create a series of key poses or frames, and the software interpolates the motion between them.
