What should I do if "Spatial Keyframe Interpolation" is grayed out?

I know this question has already been answered, but none of the answers fit my problem. "Spatial interpolation" is highlighted in gray, and I attached a screenshot of the layer. Maybe you know what the problem is? And can you explain why this is happening, since I did everything exactly as in the video?

Correct answer Mylenium

You have separated the dimensions and everything behaves accordingly. Nothing wrong. You need to combine the separate position properties if you want it differently by togglöing the respective option. I suggest you read the online help before blindly delving into tutorials from the Internet that leaver out those things.

Spatial Interpolation only works on position properties with at least an X and Y value. X and Y are required to calculate the relationship between points in space. If there is only one property, there is no space to define, so there is no way to apply anything but a time between values Interpolation. 

 

You can apply Spatial Interpolation and adjust the motion path of any center or position property on any effect by opening the layer in the Layer Panel and selecting the Effect in the Render options.

The exception to this workflow is the Shape layer. You cannot open a Shape layer in the Layer Panel to see or manipulate the motion paths. Your only option is to tie the motion of something like Slape Layer 1/Contents/Rectangle 1/position to a null with an expression and then use the null to either see or modify the internal opposition of the Shape Layer object. This is how to have a null show the shape layer path:

Null controlling Shape layer object path:

I hope that helps.
