I have started for about a few months, for different reasons, but starting out is not easy. I wonder what others think about this because when learning maths or programming I found it alot easier to find teaching material. With illustrator I feel like the explanations are very very short and dense. I recently just found this link:

https://help.adobe.com/en_US/Illustrator/14.0/illustrator_cs4_help.pdf

and it is a complete book really. A steep learning curve that has little mercy, but is definitely better than the for dummies book which had pages of going nowhere.

Hi again,
Solved the problem, I had snap to grid selected. Thanks for the help before.

Hello again,
I have tried to change the amount of space between each move of the grid points on the envelope, which is the same either using the keyboard arrow keys or the mouse. I changed the increment value in preferences via:

Edit > preferences > general > Keyboard increment = 0.01

where the increment was more than ten times higher before and there hasn’t been a change afterwards.

Best and thanks,
Alex M.

Hi,
I am using your solution from before and am struggling to get the envelope mesh movement to be more refined. Now matter how small I set the preference for the keyboard increment, when a point on the mesh is selected and I use my arrow keys up or down the increment distances are large. Is there any other way to move the selected points via smaller steps?
Best and thanks,
Alex M.

Thanks, this was helpful.

Well, I have never used After Effects and also I have to use the animation as a set of separate images so from After Effects I would be taking samples out anyways.
