Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Shape Layers following paths

    Hey all,
    I posted a few days back on this issue and am just updating to see if anyone else has had any luck yet getting Shape Layers with Repeater activated to follow a path. As of right now, it seems that I can only get the ‘master’ shape to follow a path, with the repeaters branching out on either side. I need them to follow the path and orient themselves to it. I would be surprised if this ability was left out of CS3 but so far I just cannot figure out how to make this happen…
    I hope I’m just missing something obvious here.
    Thanks.

    I’m not aware of this function in CS3. I do know that the AE team put a tonne of stuff into Shape Layers but of course not everything makes it each cycle. Perhaps make a feature request. In the mean time perhaps you could duplicate and offset your shape (so you have multiple paths inside your “content” and manually offset each. Not perfect I know.
