Sometimes when drawing a path using the Pen Tool in After Effects when I want to click in a place that is near another path a plus sign appears to the pen and modifies that path if I click.

How can I stop that?

Here is a screenshot of what I mean:

  • Can you lock or hide paths in AE? That's how you overcome this in Illustrator. (I just don't know AE.)

Try using the direct selection to select nothing then switch back to the pen tool, I've used this technique in multiple Adobe Software, it's strange!

  • Mind adding some more clarification? An image or two would explain what you're trying to say more clearly. Welcome to GD! Feb 4, 2015 at 22:45
