Hello David,
I make some animations in Inventor, you can see for example here:

Before you start an animation, think ahead of what the animation should look like.
Then open your assembly. When you have your assembly open you must do contrains to match the future movement of the assembly. When you are done with contrains open Inventor studio and then click on Animation Timeline. Then you will see the animation timeline in the bottom bar. In tree of part you have to choose part which will be moving. Click on this part by right click of mause and choose make animate contrains.
Now you can see window, where you can create move of your part. You can setting time of animation and etc.
Good example is here:

When you want animate camera you have to before all of this create camera view and then you must create camera animate. Good example is here.

I hope that i help you. You must trying and trying and then you will be have good resaults. But rendering of animation is really dificult.Good quality of video = a lot of time.
Best regards Petr
Hi David,
Using basic advice from Petr you can try to make your first animation. A good help is to watch and study some of my animations.
Take a look to this animation: https://youtu.be/qCHGbIIpuZE
The project is https://grabcad.com/library/right-angle-coupler-1
You can download all parts and the assembly from the project, then you open it in Inventor, go to Inventor Studio and activate Play.
You can study the Animation Timeline and see how all happens.
Do the same for other projects which have animations in my library (87 projects!) here: https://grabcad.com/constantin.stancescu/models
Good luck!
