Motion paths

See where a layer travels and drag its keyframe points right on the stage.

A motion path draws the route a layer takes over time, with a point for each position keyframe. It makes uneven spacing and detours visible, and you can reshape the route right on the stage.

  1. Turn on View → Show Motion Paths.
  2. Pause playback and select a single layer that moves (it needs x or y keyframes).
  3. Its path appears on the stage. Drag a keyframe point to change where the layer is at that moment.

Each drag is one undo step (Edit Motion Path).
