Hi! We've been getting this request a lot. We've posted the runway walk cycle from a while back, and we've been getting request for a full tutorial of it. So here it is :)
I still consider this a Frame by Frame animation workflow, but the clean-up is done in After Effects. You can also consider this as Frame by Frame animation in After Effects. The video is quite long, so feel free to save this, or skip to the chapter that interests you.
Here are the links for the references we've used:

very clear explanation! thanks for tips and trick. I chose with the addition of after effects because I'm often inaccurate when drawing😂 agree that if the work is complex, there will be lots of layers in the after effects.
