Making animations

When your making a few costumes to make an animation it's really hard to make them flow because there is no onion skinning.

DEFINITION of onion skinning:
This is where it shows the previous costume behind the next costume your drawing

Re: Making animations

Agreed. I would love onion skinning to be implemented in the Scratch Paint editor. I find it a lot easier than bouncing back between Scratch and an art program.

Re: Making animations

I've never thought of that much, but now that you mention it, I'd love that! It would make my homemade sprites much easier to create... thanks for the topic!

Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.
