Question

Paths and vertices not displaying when starting a new project.

Hey everyone I have a random issue. I will try to explain it the best I can. Whenever I import AI files and convert them to shapes the paths and path vertices are not displaying even when I have the option "Display Layer Controls" enabled. This only happens when I start a completely new project. When I import the AI files and convert them to shapes in an existing AE project then the paths and vertices are displaying correctly. I have attached a screenshot for reference. As you can see in the photo that I have the layer and shape path selected but I cannot see the paths or path points. What is causing this?

You have mask and shape vis toggled off.

Check the View menu. Make sure Show Layer Controls is on and make sure that View Paths is turned on if you want to see the paths. The View Paths switch is just to the left of the Preview Time in the Comp panel.

 

If that does not fix the problem let us know.
