    hey everyone, been having this dumb problem for a minute, can’t tell what I have set here. was wondering if anyone could help?

    every time I draw points, make a mask, use pen tool and try to shift-click to get straight lines, and right angles the points come out curved and don’t give me right angles.

    I imagine it’s something small I’m not clicking but I tried AE on another computer and didn’t have the same problem but couldn’t find the inconsistency across the two.

    working in AE 2019

    hope everyone is well

    right above the composition window on the top left it says snapping…when you click the pen too it turns into rotobezier ..uncheck that box
