  • Circle Trim Path Issue

    Posted by Ashley Ripka on February 9, 2018 at 4:06 pm

    Hoping someone can help me with this, I’ve never had this issue before and I cannot figure out what the problem is.

    I am animating a circle trim path around a number. Everything is fine until it gets about 75% around and then it glitches. I am attaching a couple screen shots.

    Here’s a before:

    Here’s an after:

    Thanks in advance!

    did you by any chance start with a parametric shape and then converted to bezier by right click convert to bezier path? because if so this procedure is buggy for animation unless you re-set the first vertex.

    highlight the path, see where the first vertex is (it has a square box)

    then select just that vertex and right click->mask and shape path>set first vertex.

    I used a shape layer with no fill and a stroke only. I tried what you suggested and it’s grayed out in my menu.

    Do you see the path property? Make sure just that vertex is selected.

    This is very likely a cache issue. Edit>Purge>All Memory & Cache to see if it helps. If not, then restart AE.

    Nothing seemed to work, so I just recreated the shape layer with the trim path animation and it seems to be working fine.

    Thank you for trying to help.

    That was my first instinct, didn’t work.

    I ended up just recreating the shape layer with the trim path and it seems to be working.

    cache reset was my resolution. Interesting that Media encorder use AE cache for rendering.
