No I’m not, but that looks like it will help. I need to delete the points simply because there are too many of them and the path is not smooth. I am taking a letter, and morphing it into a logo, then making that logo change shape. (The logo is an animal and it has to sit, run etc.) The shape of the mask path is constantly changing so I am adding and deleting vertexes, trying to make it move as smoothly as possible.

Also, when I pasted my mask shape from Illustrator, the layer shrunk to the size of the mask. Whenever I try to make the layer larger, it makes the mask shape larger as well. Is there a way to enlarge the layer without effecting the mask shape?

Thank you for any assistance and please forgive my terminology and lack of knowledge.
