Thanks a lot for this tutorial. I started with tutvid’s video and wasted nearly 20 minutes to have him talk about useless info and then gloss over the actual good stuff. This video has substance. Glad I read your comment and came to yours

@pokewindwaker I’m not exactly sure what the problem would be. If you click on the path and don’t see the handles, are you using the solid pointer, or the hollow pointer? The hollow pointer should always show you the handles, if you click directly on the anchor points or the segment that touches them.
If one of the handles is disappearing, you might not be clicking and dragging, or you may be pressing the alt key when you click on the point. That would kill the handle.

first, sometimes i can only see the anchor SQUARE and not the HANDLES. what do i click to make them appear again?
and sometimes one of the HANDLES disappear (like after i do the step at 4:52) and then i can’t edit the curve i want to edit (by holding down the remaining handle) without affecting the previous curve!
lastly, the handles disappear sometimes. i then get them back by CONVERTING ANCHORs (which i don’t have a clue of) but then the handles are like limbs and don’t work.
Please help!
