  • After effects motion path/bezier handles missing

    I’m currently having an issue with my cameras motion path.
    Hi,

    I animated my camera with keyframes, and when I want to adjust the bezier handles they are missing and not showing in any views. I went into the view options panel and tried turning options on and off, still doesn’t appear.

    I also restarted and trashed my preferences, but the same issue happens. I tried new files, and still not showing up?

    I imported the file into another comp and the camera works fine showing the animated paths. I brought that same file back into my comp and the issue persists.

    Does any one know if I just hit a shortcut or something by accident? If anyone can lend some advice I would appreciate it.

    Thanks in advance.

    Found it. It was located in preferences >> General >> Display >> Motion path = All keyframes. Looking for this for a good three hours.

    I was having a similar problem. the motion path disappeared when i was key framing the position. The option was turned on in the view options section but the motion path wasn’t showing up. For some reason, having time stretch on makes the motion path disappear. I turned the time stretch back to 100% and the motion path returned.

    Hi Mary, I have just started learning AE, I am using AECS3 and having the similar problem. I can see the motion path but not the Bezier handles for fine tuning. I tried what recommended by Christopher Lo – Preferences > Display > turn on all keyframes and won’t help. Can you tell me where I can turn the time stretch back to 100% to make it works?

    Anyone out there can help?

    Thanks
