This is super urgent so I appreciate any help you guys can offer! My deadline for this project is tomorrow morning (I'm a freelance animator) and I've hit a brick wall.

I'm using adobe animate cc, and I need to change a tween's motion path to be curved instead of straight, only I'm just now realizing I've never been able to see motion paths to my recollection. I can't find any options in any of the menus to make motion paths viewable or invisible either.

Help me obi wan adobe forums! You're my only hope!!

I figured it out actually, thanks though!

Here is my solution in case anyone else has this (stupid, stupid) problem:

Use motion tweens instead of classic tweens.

I was so used to always clicking "classic tween", I forgot completely that the motion editor and motion paths only apply to motion tweens (go figure). Switched to motion tweens and the motion path appeared immediately.

So that's on me. Ask a dumb question, get a dumb answer I guess.

    Glad you figured it out, but you should know that if it's an HTML5 Canvas project the performance will go down and the file size will go up, if you either use Motion tweens or you use Classic tweens with custom easing.

    Hopefully it's AS3 that you're doing!
