Preview animations on the canvas directly

Pablo Scaglione

When changing, let's say a position, color, or any other response to a trigger, could be very helpful to see that change without previewing the prototype. Something as a transparency layer on top, or a dual screen with original -> changed layout?

You mean something like a visual reference at the logic to know which part is connected to the change (or trigger)? Similar to Unreal's Blueprint or Facebook's Origami Studio visualisations?

Noodl example (didn't find a good Origami example but it's the same behavior like in Noodl): https://miro.medium.com/max/2396/1*DiCYJNZgAlnN91AKhQY4jg.gif

Philipp Nürnberg: No, I was suggesting that when you make a change on, let's say, "position" on a layer, you cannot see the result until you run the prototype. SO, my idea, is that it should exist a way to see the "final result" while editing. For example, if I want to move a layer to the right 200px, I have to see how that distance looks on the context of the editing, and not only when I preview. Hope that make sense.
