Ended up doing it by hand by importing a very tiny .Ai file—sometimes brute force is the only thing you can do, but happy with the results.

Thanks,

Seamless loop with offset-effect was the ticket! Thanks, Frank.

Deleted the guide layer and reinserted it seems to have fixed it, although I don’t know what caused it in the first place.

Strangely enough the guide layer, which is part of a linked comp to Adobe Premiere, is playing in the Premiere timeline and none of the active AE layers are showing (the opposite of what it’s suppose to do)! I think I need to step away from the computer for a few hours…

Temporary (actual) solution — I’m just going to make the path really really long.

Thank you both for your responses. I went with Walter’s method because I’m importing iso graphics from Illustrator, therefore Kalle’s method would distort my original artwork (I presume).

Clever method, Walter, it’s working like a charm!

Awesome, thanks!

Thanks for the reply Michael.

Can you elaborate on how to set the time parameter for the Particular layer? Is it in the effect controls or are you referring to the layer properties? When I open up the time dialogue for the layer properties it only gives me two options.

Update*

I now know that having an expression for the path is the cause as to why I can’t adjust the vertices after-the-fact. I have to remove the expression in order to adjust the path vertices.

Is this just how it is?

Thanks,

Thanks for your reply, Michael.

AE CC 12.2.1.5

I’m trying to adjust the anchor points of my path/shape. I set 2 keyframes so I can interpolate between them using a slider for an animation. I am able to adjust/move/tweak the anchor points of the path when I don’t set the keyframes but once I set the second keyframe I am no longer able to adjust/move/tweak the anchor points like one would normally do.

Is that any clearer?

The animation is a shape path of a windy river that is getting larger/smaller as water levels increase/decrease. Can’t do a simple scale because it is a obtuse object and gets all disproportionate. Therefore I thought the best way is to interpolate between a “small” version of the river shape path and a “large” river shape path. The problem is that I need to make more tweaks to the shape of the river path but since I’ve set the slider (to test animation) I’m no longer able to adjust the anchor points.

Thanks again,

Chris
