The animation looks good overall. I like the smear frames, but I think what’s making it feel choppy is the timing and spacing. Try adding an ease in at the beginning and an ease out at the end.

For the ease-in just hold the first few frames longer, and then gradually shorten the timing between frames to create a feeling of acceleration.

For the ease-out do the opposite. Slow the movement down by spacing out the final few frames, so the motion comes to a natural stop instead of a sudden halt.

That should help give the animation more flow and make it feel less stiff.

I can't do flipaclip cause there's no stabilizer, I also can't do trad animation either cause my hands are shaky and I can only draw good traditionally plus I don't have much paper

if you have choppy animation use 12 frames per second animation would be smooth then..
