still, if you wanted something to be added and then someone said that it was added in an extension and was literally not allowed to tell you the name of the extension, how would you feel?

Support, it would be extremely useful for us scratchers with more experience.

Semi-support. It's a great option to use and makes things easier to animate. But an extension can already do this, and it will lag the editor when it's enabled (I honestly tried this). If it's added, it might be going to crash the servers. An option to turn it off by default is a nice idea, but it can stop a large number of people using it at the same time (such as alts).

most people who want the feature probably won't do that

Support, I'm trying to make a game and I'm horrible with animations. An onion skinning option would help a lot.

Support - I'm not an animator on Scratch, but it would make that a lot easier as you would know where everything was in the previous costume.

I've changed my mind to support, it is obvious many people in the community could benefit from this. An onion skin feature would benefit animation.

Support as long as it's off by default so that people first starting scratch don't get confused.

support

Minoru07

support, but if the st rejects it, there is a website where you can edit and create scratch projects with onion skins and other cool features.

are you sure it's not just the project you're working on or a crappy computer? maybe a crappy extension? I've tried it on a random animation and there's no lag (I can send a yt video if you really need proof)

Support. Multiple sprite animations are pretty complex, since other sprites may get in the way. Single sprite animations (The characters and objects are stuffed into one sprite) are way easier.

I am here because I posted a duplicate lol.

Really?
I find the idea very simple…

Maybe it could be disabled by default. An extension has this and it is very useful when animating!

Support, but will there be an option to turn it off? Because sometimes I won't need it.

It should be enabled by a block, but I am clueless on how to make mock ups so I can't help with that. Theirs no reason that it shouldn't be added, and inexperienced people are not a huge concern as they can learn how to use it anyway.

EDIT: Okay here is a mock up

My question is simple (so sorry if someone already asked about this). Will Scratch ever add onion skins? If they did, that would be so awesome XD lol…just saying. You should be able to turn it on and off. For those who don't know what an onion skin is, it's the option to show a ghost image of the previous costume on the drawing screen, without it actually being part of that costume. It's very useful for animation. I've tried to use Pencil and import files into Scratch, but it never seems to work, the formatting is weird, etc. I'm not trying to ask too much, but this addition would make a huge difference to me.
Thanks for listening,

That is the only available option currently.
