Curves jumping to “pencil mode”?
so this has started randomly happening, and i cant figure out whats causing it.
i made a curves adjustment layer, make a point here n there to make my adjustment. i come back to the layer later, and instead of being in bezier/curve mode, the pencil mode icon has somehow been activated, meaning i cant adjust my curves, because i just get a jaggy pencil line if i click and drag.
iv clicked around trying to get my curves to come back, with a single control point per curve, but nothing works. clicking back to curve mode puts 5 or 6 points on every curve channel, again, making it useless to try and edit. inevitably i have to reset the layer and start over.
anyone else experience this, or know what causes it/how to stop it?
thanks.

restarted many times, but not tried trashing prefs. it doesnt happen all the time. it seems random, or theres something im doing that i havent identified that is making it happen.
in the mean time…

i found the new version to be way too buggy, so no, im not switching yet. but, unless someone else has any idea why this could be happening, i guess ill live with it for now.

yes, both, but i dont consider either to be out of the ordinary for an artist using AE. if you’re suggesting it might be the tablet, i can try unpluggin that when the problem comes up again… but i dont see how that could be the cause.

iv noticed exatctly when its happening. i set a key on the curves layer, move ahead 1 or 2 frames, curves magically converts to pencil mode. step back 2 frames (not undo, just scrub), and its back to bezier mode.
further playing around showed me that if im between 2 keys, its in pencil mode. if im on a key, its in bezier mode. when i pass the last key, it stays in bezier mode. so the solution i guess is to copy/paste a key to where i want to make the new key, and adjust.
perhaps this is normal ae behaviour? i dont recall this happening before, but maybe it was.

I’ve noticed it too, it’s buggy no?
