Well this is my first time making animation, and I’m pretty good at it, the problem I really want to discuss is my animation keeps flashing for some reason like for example if I made a waving hand it just flashes instead of moving like it flashes and moves at the same time is that like a problem with JavaScript , because I heard Wick editor is made with JavaScript, so is it just a glitch or is it a problem with my animation?
Can you show me a recording of what’s happening
my animation is flashing I thought the hands and feet would like wave or move but it just flashes, (please don’t mind the four feet and hands) and I am a beginner at animation so I don’t know what’s happening (I had onion skinning on)

Hello,
In simple terms, the whole point of animation is to decide what happens between two or more points (normally known as transitions). These points are known as frames.
Let me take your gif as an example. There are tw at play: the starting position of the stickman and its final position. Going based on what you said, I believe you think that Wick Editor would (automatically) generate the frames in between those two points. A few problems with that thinking are that frame-by-frame animation editors (like Wick Editor) don’t do that and I pretty sure you don’t know what you want your final animation points (frames) to be.
Nevertheless, I recommend if you didn’t already to switch to candlestickers.app (learn more here: Candlestick 1.0: A New Fork of Wick Editor), as the original Wick Editor is no longer being updated. You could also watch the tutorials in https://www.wickeditor.com/#/learn/ to better your skills further.
There’s always a lot to learn when it comes to web animation!
I think you need more frames because it looks like there’s only 2 frames on a higher framerate
so like slow down the framerate or add more frames ._.
