How to delete anchor points in after effects

[inquestflash]

Hello Forum.

Is it possible to remove anchor points in After effects from shapes?

When I turn my shape into a bezier path, and add anchor points, when I click the points I want to remove the shape instead of opening its still closed, it removes  the anchor points but the shape is still enclosed.

I assume you are trying to emulate the behavior of paths in other Adobe apps.

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
