  • After Effects Keyframe’s Path not showing when doing Motion Tracking

    Posted by Michelle Beaudoin on May 24, 2021 at 10:57 pm

    Hi, I’ve spent the entire day on this and tried to get help form Adobe but the forum kept crashing… I really hope someone can help me out.

    I’m doing simple Motion Tracking for Transformation keyframes. When the point I am tracking gets out of the frames, I select every Keyframes in the viewer and move them together to another point to continue the tracking. It usually works well enough, but since this morning, I am suddenly not able to select those keyframes, they just appear as a small line that I can’t move or select instead of box points that I can select and move around. I am attaching pictures of what I used to have in my viewer versus what I am having now.

    I have the latest version of after effects (18.2). I tried every settings about motion path view options and even tried to reset all of my after effects settings.

    I don’t know exactly why this is happening, but AE actually has a built-in method for defining a new track feature. Just hold alt and you can slide the track box to a new area without affecting the previously tracked frames.

    Also, you can select a group of track keyframes in the timeline by twirling down the layer’s properties.
