Timeline not previewing motion path correctly
Whenever I create any object with a motion path it no longer previews it in the timeline correctly. If I preview by playing the timeline, or by previewing the slide, it shows it no problem. It is ju...
Hi Luciana! Thank you for the quick reply. My native language is not English, I believe I worded myself incorrectly. What I mean is that the preview is incorrect. It is not showing the object in the position that it should be when I navigate through the timeline. This makes adding highlights to objects with path motion content very challenging.
As you can see, this is what I see when I preview a specific point in the timeline:
It is not correct, even if I turn timeline visualization on and off again, it still shows the object with the path movement in a position that does not correspond the frame I'm previewing.
This is that exact same frame when I preview by playing the slide:
It shows the object in the correct location at the correct frame. This makes it so I have to play the timeline, look at where the ending animation lands, make a mental note of it, add the square highlight, and then play again to make sure I set it at the right spot. Basically working blind. This has been an issue for me and my team for as long as I can remember. Is there a workaround for this?
Hi Abril,
Thanks for providing us with a detailed description of the behavior you're experiencing. This is one of those scenarios where we'll need to do actual testing in order to get a better idea of what's happening.
Would you be willing to share a copy of your project file here or in private by opening a support case so we can take run some tests using your project file? We'll delete it when we're done!
