How to move null

[Suraiya A]

Hello,

I am trying to move a null from its position but I can't. I have created it from 'create nulls from path -trace path-.

How can I move and place it exactly where I want? I have tried panning behind the tool and also the position of the null. nothing works.

Thank you.

If you created Nulls in the way you did they're controlled by the expressions and the associated effects controls in the effects palette. Check it. It's even in your screenshots.

@Mylenium How Can I move that Null in the middle? Is there any way? I cant . 😞

It seems you have created two conflicting setups. For the middle Null you may need to duplicate the path so the anchor point can be moved with the Null so it doesn't interfere with the Null following the path. You would then connect the path shape property with a simple pickwhip expression so they update.

If you use Create Nulls From Paths/Trace, the null will follow the path. You can set the first vertex to set the starting point. The Progress Slider Control in the Effects Control Panel can also control the position of the null along the path. If you need to change the path, the null will follow.
