Show control points in Motion
There are several ways to display the control points of a complex shape to allow point-by-point editing in the canvas.
Display a complex shape’s control points
In Motion, do one of the following:
In the Layers list, canvas, or Timeline, select a shape containing control points (a spline shape), then in the canvas toolbar, click and hold the transform tools pop-up menu and choose Edit Points.
Double-click a spline shape in the canvas.
Control-click a spline shape in the canvas, then choose Edit Points from the shortcut menu.
Note: Overlays must be enabled in the View menu (or in the View pop-up menu above the canvas) for control points and the spline of a shape to be visible. In addition, if Handles and Lines are disabled in the View > Overlays submenu (or in the View pop-up menu), Bezier or B-Spline control points will not be visible in the canvas.
After you display a shape’s control points, select control points to edit them. While editing the control points of a shape, you can select another shape and remain in control point-adjustment mode. This allows for quick modification of multiple shapes’ control points.
