  Create path from position points

  Posted by Tim Silva on November 20, 2006 at 4:50 pm

  Is there a way to create a path from position keyframes?
  I’m using Motion Sketch to create the movement of my object. Then I need to create a trail left behind using Trapcode’s Stroke effect. So it would be nice to be able to take those position points and create a separate path from them to make the Stroke trail layer.

  thanks

  Tim

  Select the position keyframes, copy to the clipboard, select the mask pen tool, draw at least one mask point, then paste your data into that mask and you’ll have perfectly aligned shapes.
