  • Handle bars on mask have disappeared

    Posted by Ross Bradshaw on December 6, 2007 at 1:01 pm

    I have noticed that there are no handle bars on my mask points when I am marking out free hand masks. As I have just started AE I was wondering have I clicked off the option to have handle bars appear or something like that and if so where would I find the option to show them again?

    Cheers

    I have tried this and it still doesn’t show me the handle bars. I have been working in AE for over a month now and when I started the handle bars were showing up. When I click and drag I use to be able to see them but now they don’t show up?

    Two reasons for how you can lose your mask handles:

  • handle box in view options is unchecked.
  • solution: go to ‘View’ tab > view options > then check handles box is checked

  • RotoBezier has been enabled
  • solution: go to ‘Layer’ tab > mask and shape path > uncheck RotoBezier

    This response helped me determine why my own mask handles had mysteriously disappeared: The RotoBezier had been enabled.

    Trouble is, it’s enabled…and grayed out. I can’t access it to uncheck it. WTF?

    Help?

    When I directly selected a point on the path I was able to uncheck RotoBezier.
