Hi everyone
I am doing the tutorials on Anime debut 7 and got to the 'follow the path' tool. However somehow I can't seem to activate the tool. How do i use this tool?

Make 2 layers, one with the curve and the other with the shape. Go to frame 0. Click on the layer with the shape then click on the follow path tool, hold alt down(if you want the shape to bend) and click on an end of the line then go to somewhere in the time line, hold alt down(if you want the shape to bend) and click on the other end of the line.

P.S. make sure you have the set origin on the object.

Stephen

thanks

Thanks Stephen.
It worked. I am constantly amazed at the neat little features in Anime Studio. Just didn't understand it in the tutorials, but I got it to work.
Thanks.
It seems you are often checking the forums as you have answered all my questions so far. Wonderful
