Onion skinning

Onion skinning is a term used in animation. Onion skinning shows a faint version of the previous frame and therefore allows the animator to know where to place the next frame. Traditionally this was done with special onion skin paper. This is now simulated in most modern animation software tools, such as Flash and Director.
