Hi,

 

I am in great danger, I need some help.

 

I need to cut this stroke where I dnt want it. but after watching several tutorials (mask and shape path- rotobezier on/off) am seeing birds and  stars around my head, no one can show me what I wanted. Is there any way I can cut/split/get rid of unnecessary anchor point like I do in AI.  Why am getting a rubberband like shape if I apply delete vertex tool?  Is there any way? :'(

 

Please help me. :'(

To open a closed bezier path in AE:

1. Use the selection tool to select the line segment next to the point you want to open the path at.

2. Right–click or Ctrl–click (mac) on the line segment and choose Mask and Shape Path > Uncheck Closed


Thanks,
Nishu
