  • adjustment ‘points’ on Behavior ‘motion’ red line have disappeared

    Posted by Ben Ged low on October 6, 2005 at 4:39 am

    I assign a motion behavior to an object … yesterday there were little dots at the end of the motion control line (the red line), with which I could grab the red line and adjust it or to which I could add Bezier points and curves … today there is just the red line, no dots to grab.

    Is it possible I missed a preference or inadvertently switched something off? Where did my little red dots go?

    You have to select the control point for editing to see its bezier handles.

    Thank you Jim,

    But there is no ‘control point’ to select. That’s my dilemma. All that can be seen is the red line … without the control points at the ends. Two days ago those control points were there. Now they are not. The red line is.

    When I try to click the end of the red line … I just bop down to the layer beneath.

    Mysterious…

    I am going to try a re-instal. But if this is a preferences click somewhere I’d love to know about it so I don’t get caught again…

    Heya Ben,

    This doesn’t sound like a bug; it may just be a matter of selection. If you select an object that has animated position, caused by keyframes or behaviors, you will see a red line that indicates the path of movement of the object, over time. If you select the Motion Path behavior object directly (via the Timeline, Layers List or Inspector), you will see the on-screen controls for the behavior, which includes the editable path and bezier points.
