  • Shape Layer… can’t see motion path!

    Posted by Stephen Roberts on February 7, 2015 at 11:34 pm

    I’m trying to animate a circle around the screen. I need the circle to be one of several shapes within a shape layer. If I animate the Position property of the entire Shape layer, I see a motion path. But when I’m moving the Position property of just this one shape,… no motion path! Any ideas?

    Try linking the shape specific property to a glue gun effect, just hide the glue gun do you don’t see the stroke it makes.

    Thanks for the reply! … I guess I don’t understand the Glue Gun effect. Couldn’t see anything. That’s OK.. I muddled through by trial and error. If I have some time in the future, I’ll see of I can figure out the glue gun. Thanks again.
