    Hi,

    Is there a way to view and manipulate a motion path for a path vertex?

    When I change the position of an entire shape, I can edit its movement path by changing the dotted line, like the one here:

    But, when it comes to moving individual points on a vector, there seems to be no way to see or manipulate them. Imagine that I’m trying to animate a point or vertex here, along a specific shape:

    Is there a way to see the motion path for a vertex?

    Thanks!

    You can’t, by default. You can of course link each vertex to a Null using CC2018s new feature, Nulls from Path.
    You should download this ‘extended’, 3rd party version which provides handles for each vertex, for each Null’s position.
