  View Option greyed out, can’t see motion paths

  Posted by Tl Westgate on May 26, 2014 at 11:54 am

  What’s happened? I can’t see my motion paths and the View Options menu item under the View menu is greyed out. How can I re-enable it?

  (latest update to CC, Win 7)

  Are you in the layer view or the composition view?

  Comp view. But it’s working today. Maybe needed a reboot.

  I know it’s almost a year later, but I had the same issue and figured out the solution for anyone who encounters this in the future.

  All you have to do is simply make sure you select your Composition Panel before you go to View > View Options. It should be clickable now.

  This helped me in the right direction, but wasn’t the solution for me in CC2015.
  What worked for me is right click on the actual Composition panel tab label and click View Options.
