I am a mapper/mapimator who makes videos about battles and wars. But whenever I add vertices to Adobe After Effects it creates them on the opposite side of the shape layer and then moves it over making a weird sideways moving animation. I made a "testing" video just to show what happens. You can see how they move sides, although you can't see the vertices you can very clearly see it moving sideways(in this case up).
Create all vertices first, then animate. there's nothing wrong. It's just how AE deal with mask and shape paths and reorganizes the internal inices etc. whenever you add something midway through animation. It's just a not so ideal workflow.
Is there any way to not create all vertices first? I did that on my last video but I still ended up adding more since it wasn't enough. Maybe there is a setting in After Effects?
