Motion path issues.

Jun 11, 2017

I am working on a project that involves motion paths. Although I created two motion paths for the loop with the second path taking the object bath on the same path it had moved, the objects start to drift off screen and move on a path that is outside the screen. I minimized the path and centered it , but I could not fix the problem. I was wondering if anyone can help.

Thanks

You will probably find that the motion paths are not the same length. If one is longer than the other, then your object will eventually end up off the slide. Can you check the length of each path?

Hi Mussie! Welcome to the community. 😊

If you're still having trouble, please feel free to share your file here, even if it's just a sample! We've got lots of folks here who are savvy with motion paths, and we'd be happy to take a look.

Hi Michael, thanks for the feedback. Each slide has just one motion path that loops. The slides work fine for some time but after a while, the objects start to move off screen.

Hi Alyssa,

Thanks for the offer. I have attached the file. Please, note that at first things work fine, it is after a while that the objects start to move off their motion paths and even off screen.

I didn't check all of your motion paths, but the ones on layers 8 and 10 had the "Relative Start Point" option enabled. Go through and make sure that is not enabled for any of your motion paths, and that should fix the problem.
