Onion Skinning
Onion skinning is a standard animation technique derived from cel
animation, where transparent sheets enable the artist to see through to
the preceding frame(s). It's useful for enabling precise registration and
controlling object movement from frame to frame.
To turn onion skinning on or off:
1. From the Frames tab, click the
Onion Skinning button to turn
onion skinning on or off.
2. (Optional) To set more than one previous frame to be visible, click
Properties, then set the number of frames in the Onion
Skinning input box.
The preceding frame's objects will show behind those of the currently
selected frame.
