Hello! I'm trying to add a couple of curved motion paths to an image. I can add the motion path, but then when I try to click on it again to give it a Relative Start Point, it disappears onscreen and the Path Options are disabled. What's the deal? Is there a trick to selecting it again? It's not on the timeline, so I can't find it that way either. Very simple fix I'm sure, but I'm struggling to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Thanks!
Selecting motion paths (especially if you have several that are close together or overlap) can be tricky. I always zoom in as closely as possible to select the path I want.
Have the same challenge. I have many motion pathes and inversed pathes exactly overlaying the original ones.
Only solution I have is to name the pathes clear and then to swith with the tabkey (or SHIFT + Tabkey) between them. Then I click exactly on the selection frame of the current selected path with the right mouse button to ensure it is the correct name of the path I want to edit.
