How do you modify a motion path?

I'm going through the Motion manual, and am in the Behaviors chapter. I can apply a motion behavior to an object, but the instructions for creating a curve don't seem to work. I can't create any bezier points either by double-clicking or option-clicking anywhere on the motion path (i.e., in the canvas??) as the manual instructs. I have looked through the archives, and I see that someone has asked this before, but the responses don't seem to answer the question. It doesn't seem to matter which selection tool I use. I know I can keyframe this, but I want to learn to use the Behaviors. I'm sure this is simple but I'm darned if I can figure it out...
Thanks,
Steve S.

hi,
have you checked that the Handles option is on in the View pop up menu?
Also is the motion pth selected in the project? If so the tool mode changes automatically to an edit mode?
Hope this helps.

  • How do you add the motion path of a tracking point to a separate clone stamp?

    How do you add the motion path of a tracking point to a clone stamp without the clone stamp assuming the same initial/continuous positions of the tracking point?
    Is there a way to keep the clone stamp's initial position and then add the path onto it?
    I am using the clone stamp to remove unwanted duct tape that was used to keep lights on a wall.

    I have spent two days trying to find a solution to this exact same problem. I have seen some overly complex solutions that probably work but trying to figure out the explanations is like trying to understand someone describe drag coefficients of rotary wing aircraft. While I am sure they work, they are way above my comprehension. I wanted an intuitive and straight forward solution for something that shouldn't require some arcane technique to fix.
    What I did:
    1) I used the Clone Stamp tool to paint over the spot on the wall I wanted to remove.
    2) picked a more easily discernible point of reference for Tracking. In my case, I used a poster on the wall.
    3) As per the instructions here, https://www.video2brain.com/en/lessons/removing-an-object-with-clone-stamp, I pasted the Attach Point data from the Tracker into Clone -> Transform - > Position 
    However, that didn't work for me as the object I was painting was not the object I was tracking. The solution from the video was simply moving my cloned spot to the tracked object instead of leaving it where I wanted it. So...
    4)  I then manually adjusted the Anchor Point of the Clone back to the original spot I wanted to cover.
    I played footage and the cloned region successfully moved with the spot I was covering.
    This is what I was able to figure out. I'm not an advanced user. I only use After Effects every couple of months when I need to fix minor things in footage, so I've only learned to use what techniques I need for the job at hand. No doubt, experienced users may shake their heads at my simplistic fix. I'm sure my technique would be wholly inadequate for situations far more complex than fixing spots on a gray wall, which is why my eyeballs cross when reading suggestions that seem way more involved than one would expect for something as seemingly minor as this. It's just a spot! It should be super easy to remove, right? Well, that's what I was looking for and that's what I came up with. I hope it helps.

  • How do you modify default installation path?

    In the previous versions of AAMEE there was an option to change the default pathway for installation.
    I d onot see this option in AAMEE 3.0
    How can I modify the installation path? All my installs are usually done on a secondary HDD.
    Also, there is an option to install only InDesign 64bit and Illustrator 64bit versions instead of installing both but I have not seen an option to install only Bridge 64bit. Can this be surpressed?
    Thank you much for your input.

    Digging through the XML I have found this option:
    <Screen name="ConfigureOptions">
        <control name="EULAOption" platform="All" machinePortability="1">1</control>
        <control name="ImproverOption" platform="All" machinePortability="1">1</control>
        <control name="conflictOption" platform="All" machinePortability="1" val="1"/>
        <control name="updaterOption" platform="All" machinePortability="1" val="0"/>
       <control name="deployPathOption" platform="All" machinePortability="1" val="0"/>
    Should I assume that I need to change the value to the correct deploy path?
    If yes, do I replace the 1 or the 0 with the value?

  • How do you modify the web.xml to lock down the pages from a user role

    how do you modify the web.xml to lock down the pages from a user role

    I'll make a stab at your question:
    The following is an example of where a URL is protected within a web.xml deployment descriptor. In this example, the URL /protectedA within the application is protected:
    <!-- security constraints -->
    <security-constraint>
    <web-resource-collection>
    <web-resource-name>protectedA</web-resource-name>
    <url-pattern>/protectedA</url-pattern>
    </web-resource-collection>
    <!-- authorization -->
    <auth-constraint>

  • How do you modify the default Execute thread count in Weblogic Server 9.2?

    How do you modify the default Execute thread count in Weblogic Server 9.2?
    How can you tune the starting number of weblogic.ExecuteThread on server startup and/or set minimum number?
    Is there an option from the console?
    Please let me know.
    Thanks

    Self tuning will automatically manage the threads but however you can still control the min and max by adding the min and max values for each instance either directly adding in config.xml or through JVM settings
    1) Modifying the config.xml
    Just add the following line(s) to each server definition :
    <server>
    <name>AdminServer</name>
    <self-tuning-thread-pool-size-min>100</self-tuning-thread-pool-size-min>
    <self-tuning-thread-pool-size-max>200</self-tuning-thread-pool-size-max>
    </server>
    2) Adding some JVM parameters
    It's safer the following way :
    add the following option in your command line : -Dweblogic.threadpool.MinPoolSize=100

  • In iMovie, how do you modify the duration of all the clips at once?

    In iMovie, using Mavericks O/S, how do you modify the duration of all the clips at once?

    To set the duration of any clips to be added in the future select the project then "Settings" above the viewer.    Adjust the slider to the right of "Clips" to the desired duration.
    To change clips already in the timeline, select all of the ones you want to change (so they have a yellow border), click on "Adjust" then click the info button (i in a circle).  You will see "Duration:"  Set the time in seconds and press return.

  • How can you modify the displayed columns on a Related Information List?

    How can you modify the displayed columns on a Related Information List? For example, how could you add the "Type" column to the List of columns displayed for Service Requests when you are viewing the Contacts Detail page?
    Thanks

    I'd have to say I think this is one of the biggest flaws in the OnDemand system currently. The solution I have come up with is to create reports and put them in webapplets showing the data I want to show. I have then removed the standard Related Info List Objects and added weblinks to create new records as the button on the List object is also gone.
    Keep in mind that doing this does slow things down a little, so it may not work if you have a big user base.

  • How do you break a closed path?

    It's infuriating: Not only is there no indicated means of doing this in the GUI or menus, but there's no result in attempting to search the Web for it.
    Once a path is closed, how do you break it open?
    And while I'm at it: I have a vector mask.  I want to draw another vector shape and subtract it from this vector mask.  How would I do this?
    Thanks!

    Thanks, guys.  I will resist going on a tirade about how pathetic this UI is (Delete key having undocumented functionality different from Delete in the menu).
    Question about the multiple shapes, however.  I've selected the vector mask and picked the freeform pen tool to add another shape.
    The original shape is the boat outline, and everything around it was masked out.  Now I want to draw another shape at the bottom for the "waterline", also eliminating its contents from the final image.  But as you can see, the result only shows the intersection of the two shapes.  No matter what I select for "path operations" in the toolbar, the result is exactly the same.  Except "merge shape components"; then the empty outlines disappear and I'm left with just the filled section.

  • How can I create responsive motion path animation

    I have an animate file that contains many amimations and one motion path animation.  All animation elements of the animate file are responsive with the exception of the motion path animation which is not for some reason.  Why does the motion path animation not repsonsive even though it is L, T, W, H coordinates are set as percentages?
    Thanks

    Hi, evetsrelfel-
    There's no way to make motion paths responsive at the moment - we limit them to pixel-based animations.

  • How can you modify / customize radio stations like you can with Pandora?

    Hi all, I'd like to customize radio stations to add artists, but the only option I'm seeing is to follow artists. Can you customize radio stations in Spotify like you can with Pandora? I didn't find anything on the boards for this. And also, how do you delete radio stations? I'm not finding Spotify to be very intuitive. Thanks in advance!

I admit it would me nice to be able to delete radio stations, but there are many other issues that need tackling first.  IMHO.  You're not paying for the software.  The radio feature is secondary to the extensive library.

  • How can you determine the absolute path to a dynamically created NetStream object?

    We are trying to implement video captioning with a freeware component, ccforflash. This requires us to provide an absolute or relative path  to our NetStream object. How can we determine this path in Flash CS5 AS3?
    From the CCforFlashCS5 documentation:
    "2. Object name and path
    Type the name and path.  This is the instance name of the object with which CCforFlashAS3 will synchronize. It must be spelled correctly, since CCforFlashAS3 will query the object with this name for timing information in order to synchronize the captions. The path must also be included; either relative to the CCforFlashAS3 component (i.e. this.parent) or the absolute path from the main level of the movie (root)."

    It would be easier if the NetStream object was created on an easily identifiable place on the timeline. This player has an MVC architecture. The NetStream object is created in a subclass to Model class, which is itself a subclass of the EventDispatcher object. The View class access it via an interface.
    As you can guess, it's not that straightforward to determine where the NetStream object is located on the timeline. This is compounded by the fact that the NetStream object does not have a name property.
    I've tried methods like these, but they only work for the DisplayObject class:
    public static function displayObjectPath( avDisplayObject : DisplayObject ) :String
    var lvPath:String = "";
    do
    if( avDisplayObject.name ) {
    // var obj_name:String = (avDisplayObject.name == 'root1') ? 'root' : avDisplayObject.name;
    if (avDisplayObject.name != 'root1') {
    lvPath = avDisplayObject.name
       + ( lvPath == "" ? "" : "." + lvPath );
    } else {
    trace("displayObjectPath() NO NAME avDisplayObject="+avDisplayObject);
    } while( avDisplayObject = avDisplayObject.parent );
    return lvPath;
    } // displayObjectPath
    private  function showChildren(d:DisplayObjectContainer):void {
    trace("showChildren()");
    if (d.numChildren>0) {
    for (var c:Number = 0; c < d.numChildren; c++) {
    trace("showChildren c=",c," name=",d.getChildAt(c).name);

  • How do you change pending event path post mig to new server?

    We upgraded from NSM 2.5 to 3 which necessitated a change of server. I migrated my polices (50+) so as not to have to recreate them as well as my pending events. The new users point to a new vault and I copied the old vaulted users there also. My issue is that my migged pending events (delete user after X days) still point to a server that no longer exists. Is there a way to modify the path to point of the old pending events to the new storage?

  • How do you make a motion tween, mask effect and shape tween, with a flash website?

    More of less, I will have three seperate pages for the motion tween, mask effect and shape tween... would you make the seperately, in a different scene, as a symbol or on the same scene with the website.

    It's not clear what you are after since you start talking about separate pages for the three things, and then ask about how best to put them together.  If they are going to be separate they can't be together.
    If your intention is to have these three things in one Flash file, ut as separate parts of it, then I would have each within a symbol and have each symbol within the same scene (I don't use multiple scenes).
