Onion-skin view?
I’m trying to create an animation where a knife slices up a tag into 4 pieces.
My problem is if I want to do it one slice after the other, I have to work “blind”, since I don’t see my graphics where the different animation paths are ending. I only see it on the motion-path(s) I'm selecting. It's great that I can select several motion-paths at the same time and see the shapes at all the beginning-ending positions, but when I'm trying to move a particular ending point, all the rest disappears, so I don't see where I'm moving it to. (e.g. I'd like to attach graphics parts together again at another position)
Is there onion-skinned view option so I can see all the positions of my animation at the same time meanwhile dragging just one?
Please find example attached.
Thank you for your help in advance!

Hi Gabor,
I'm not sure what you mean by an "onion-skinned view" but there isn't a way to keep them all visible at once as you've seen while clicking on another one. Hopefully others here in the community will be able to weigh in and share their ideas on how they've worked with similar motion path needs.
I was just looking to see if there's a way to "onion skin" in Storyline and came across this thread. What I did to get around it is to play my timeline and screenshot the point where the animation ends and my elements are where I want them. I them lined up my screenshot to the storyboard and lowered the opacity on it so I could move my elements to the same positions as what's in the screenshot.
