12. Editing Paths

• Selecting paths

• Deleting and hiding edges

• Closing paths

• Changing curvature

• Shearing, perspective, bend, and noise effects

When it comes to editing paths, you can simply just move an individual point, which causes the connected paths to move, but it is much easier to select a path along with its points on either end and move the entire path as one object. Anime Studio includes tools that make it easy to delete and hide edges, close an existing path to make a shape, and change the curvature of a path.

There are also effects for altering a path’s perspective, shear, bend, and noise effect, and learning to use these tools will let you deform paths quickly and easily.
