  • Can’t see Motion Paths?! (with display option selected)

    Posted by Ben Hartley on January 28, 2015 at 11:50 am

    I can’t see motion paths even though I have them selected in Display settings. I found someone else who stated turning off time stretch solves this but this has not solved the problem either. Opening project in either CS6 or CC has same issue.

    In desperate need to solve this. Any suggestions?!

    Thanks

    If it looks good, look at it.

    Do you have Show Layer Controls enabled?

    @ Todd – Yes I have Show Layer Controls selected.

    @ Dave – I am using AE CS6 with Mac OSX 10.9.5

    – Ive opened up the project file WITHOUT motion paths showing within a completely differect project that DOES have a comp with motion paths showing, im not sure what this says? Its something wrong with the comp or project and not AE?

    If it looks good, look at it.

    I believe it may be something to do with this PSD file im using as my BG as I inserted it into a project with motion paths working and it shows as invisible, any suggestions?

    And yes I definitely have Show Layer Controls enabled.
