I am following the Youtube tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-h6JLUctbYs and I am stuck at trying to animate my texture. Every time I try to play the animation, the texture jumps to different parts of the object, and not in a smooth flowing pattern. I tried many things to fix this but can't find a solution. All help is appreciated!

$\begingroup$ Hello, please add images or a gif that show your results rather than only a link to a 15 min vid. Thanks. $\endgroup$– Timaroberts ♦Jul 7, 2020 at 3:20

$\begingroup$ Hello, I have added pictures of my animation and the nodes I used. As you can see there is a big jump in the texture from the first picture to the second one. $\endgroup$– AceJul 7, 2020 at 3:30

$\begingroup$ Hello, You are trying to animate the "Location" when you want to be animating the "Rotation" of the mapping node. The Mapping node setup has changed, but the 3 panels for transforms stayed the same. Look more closely at around 11:46 $\endgroup$– GorgiousJul 7, 2020 at 7:08

$\begingroup$ It worked! Thank you very much! I can't believe I didn't try that out. $\endgroup$– AceJul 7, 2020 at 13:10

Don't animate the "Location," you want to be animating the "Rotation" of the mapping node.
