AE CS5 - shape layer - moves the anchor after keyframe position

I am an intuitive (to me) behavior with a new shape layer. Here are the steps to reproduce the problem. I was able to make a CAP to screen the problem but can't find a way to upload it on this forum.

1. in an existing publication, I create a new shape layer

2. by default, the anchor (central point) is in the center of the shape layer dead. Perfect.

3. I turn on Position key frames and add a keyframe position my moment

4. instantly the anchor now jumps to the center of the composition, and so now when I adapt my shape layer is not measure correctly

If I try to use the Pan tool, I get keys to position images. Moreover, I SHOULD NOT HAVE to DO THIS, being the anchor point to the correct start with place and it is only because of this "bug" keyframing who jumps out of anchor point.

What I'm missing or doing wrong? How can I add a keyframe position to a NEW LAYER that has no other animation on it and always keep the anchor point in the center of dead of my form?

Thanks for your advice,

Tom

Again, read the help. Shape layer items have their own groups of transformation. To achieve a correct animation, you must animate those, not the global container layer.

    Bubble icons are the widgets corner. You can drag inward to round the corner. They are not part of your problem. If you want to hide them, select view > hide corner Widget. I have a hotkey defined for this menu item.

    If you see multiple bullseyes, you may have your set with the shape selected, that would prevent you from being able to move individual anchor points. Deselect the shape first, and then move the anchor with the direct Selection tool.

    There has never been a problem before, but the anchor point for the adjustment in ACR brush is sitting exactly where I need to see what is happening.  I can delete and start over, but if there is a way to move or hide the anchor in stil be able to adjust the setting, it would be useful to know for the next time it happens.

  • Cannot move the anchor points using the Subselection tool? (CS5)

    Hey.
    I experienced an intermittent problem in Flash CS5, where sometimes I can't push anything using the Subselection tool. Sometimes, I can, but most of the time I can't and I don't know why.

    I can still click-and - drag points (or multiple points/paths), but I can't push the keyboard.

    Any ideas?

    My guess is that the item is grouped and you are inside the publishing group? For some reason any in this case you cannot move the points in this way.

    Separate the Group and try again. Sorry that's the only answer I know.

  • Cannot move the anchor point?

    I use CS4.

    When I try to select an anchor point, the actions I take immediately highlight the position and position - not the anchor. I use the selection tool - is not serious if I select the layers or via screen - same thing happens.

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you!

    If you use the Pan behind tool (keyboard shortcut is the key there) and enter the anchor point, the anchor moves relative to the layer, but does not move the apparent position of the layer in the composition. If you check the position values in the timeline panel, you will see that they change when you drag the anchor around the layer.

    If you enter values of anchor point in the timeline panel, the relative position of the layer seems to be moving in the composition window, but the position of the values do not change because the position of the anchor point is not mobile at the composition level.

    The value of the position of a layer is always the position of the anchor from the composition. The value of the anchor point is the position of the anchor relative to the layer. Rotation and scale centered around the anchor point of the two.

    I hope this helps.

  • Copy path of a shape layer to the layer path again

    I use connect traces on a shape layer to animate the "drawing" of the form. Then I have a still image (my hand) that I want to follow the application of the shape layer.

    In AE, I this today by defining the paths of the toppings, then copy the path of the shape layer.  I go to the layer again, select the position attribute and paste. This deal is still keyframes layer which coincide with the shape animation.

    I thought I could go something on the shape layer and then create keyframes on the layer again. However, I am not sure this makes sense?  Use valueAtTime() on the way to the shape layer?

    Any ideas how I can replicate this workflow to ExtendScript?

    Try this - it might get you up to get the path of the layer shape copied in the position property of the layer of the hand:


    function deselectAll (theComp) {}

    for (var i = 1; i)<= thecomp.numlayers;="">

    theComp.layer (i) .selected = false;

    }

    var theProps = theComp.selectedProperties;

    for (var i = 0; i)< theprops.length;="">

    theProps [i] .selected = false;

    }

    }

    var app.project.activeItem = myComp;

    deselectAll (myComp);

    var myPath = myComp.layer ("Shape Layer 1") .property ("ADBE vectors root Group").property("ADBE_Vector_Group").property ("ADBE vector Group").property("ADBE_Vector_Shape-Group").property ("ADBE vector form");

    myPath.selected = true;

    app.executeCommand (app.findMenuCommandId ("Copy"));

    deselectAll (myComp);

    myProp = myComp.layer("Hand").property ('Position');

    myProp.selected = true;

    app.executeCommand (app.findMenuCommandId ("Paste"));

  • Cannot move the CTI after effect cs6

    Hello everyone. I left Cs3 and now have cs6 and I can't move the current-time indicator in after effect cs6. What I am doing wrong? For example. If I type a word in the model and then go down to the 'position' and create keyframes and try to move the current time indicator, it does not move. I feel that something is blocked and I do not know what caused the indicator does not move.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • direct selection - move the anchor points with the arrow keys of the keyboard

    Hello

    I use Illustrator CC.  I just use the image tracking tool to create a version vector of my company logo.  It worked pretty well, but now I'm just trying to clean it up a bit.  I have a few anchor points that I want to just push upwards or downwards into the smallest possible increment.

    I think it would be easier for me to do using the arrow keys on the keyboard instead of the mouse, but the arrows cause my selected anchor point to jump in too large a distance way.  I checked to make sure that the bearings commented, snap to grid and snap to Point are all extinct.  I don't see anything else to do.

    Can someone tell me which control how the keyboard arrow keys will move an anchor point, and how can I fix this to the smallest possible distance?

    Thanks in advance,
    Paul

    General Prefs, area keyboard Increments. Have something you need.

    Then use Nudge (up, down, left, right arrow).

  • How to decrease the spacing between shapes and move the form to the top, what model creation brush?

    Hello world

    I am trying to create an external border for some tires and have a few questions about the model of brush.

    I created a solid form and then, with her, a brush model. But I don't want all this spacing between shapes, so is there a way to get rid of the spacing or DECREASE spacing altogether. Currently, it is set at 0%.

    Also, is there a way to raise the forms so that the basic lines of form are placed outside of the ellipse that is drawn? See first image below in the middle of forms at the intersection with the outline of the ellipse drawn.

    Thanks in advance :)

    Return to the brush model.

    1. drag the brush from the Panel forms.

    2. with the direct Selection tool or in, select the Panel layers no filling / n ° rectangle race which is located at the back of this group of brush.

    3. adjust (reduce) the width of the rectangle until you find a size that produces the desired gap.

    4. Select the shape of the brush and the no fill / no rectangle STROKE, Opt/Alt-drag on top of the original brush in the Panel shapes.

    Trial and error is valuable here until you see how it works. or you can use specific values.

    To align the bottom edge of the brush with the path:

    With no filling/no STROKE rectangle selected, as indicated above, move it down so that its horizontal axis coincides with the lower edge of the shape of the brush, then Opt/Alt-drag the brush and rectangle again in the Panel forms.

    Edit: As says Monika.

  • Cannot move the window after resizing

    From: bronzefree

    Resize the Media Center window and inadvertently it moved off the screen.  I tried using the 'move' tab bar tasks, does not.  The multi-directional arrow appears, but can not grasp anything.  My 'reduced' Media Center window seems permanently blocked off-screen!

    I can only use enlarged, which is of course not what I want to do.

    When I "minimize", I see "stolen" to the left of the screen of the monitor.
