How to make a smooth path shape animation without stops?

[Ilya Melnix]

Hi!

I ran into such a problem: I can't make a smooth shape animation because of a strange graph speed behavior. It's bent the other way, upstairs, and I can not bend it down. I tried to make the same thing with position animation, there is no problems.

Here is a demo of what I mean:

Maybe someone has any ideas how to deal with this?

Mask and shape layer path animation uses compound data that doesn't allow to control the individual interpolation of a point. All you can do is use more keyframes or where possible connect the mask points to Nulls using expressions.
