Editable Motion trail

Ediatable motion trail is needed There is the existing one - wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/Animation/Motion_Trail It works with meshes but it completely unusable with rigs I think Blender must have such a tool but it must be well optimized

well that's one of the plans with the 2.8 project from what I know.. currently it isn't really possible because of the dependency graph, but they are working on it

Yes, it shouldn't be hard to wait for 2 years more after 4 years of waiting already. :)

I SOOOO think Blender needs this built in or a really solid add-on it's on of the things I miss most coming from AE to Blender and a real downfall to Blender animating in my opinion.

Can't believe this is still not available. It's a MUST for any animator and especially when animating characters.

Hello,

Could official blender foundation's developers develop official editable motion path with handles for faster and better animation in viewport? ** I know we have one old motion trail addon (bugy and unstable, for blender 2.65 version) but it is now usable. Look how every other popular 3D softwares have this functionality:
