Motion Guide out of Existing Curved Line

1

Hello, I have a curved line already in the movie…
I would like to use this path as a motion guide…

Can I use this existing line instead of having to redraw the path?

Thought all I had to do was right click on the layer of the already drawn curved line… and make it a Guide…

Then snap the object to the end of it…

Anyone have any tips…

Here is the file so you can see what I am talking about…

I want to tween a little star along the path of those curved lines…

I think the only way for motion guides to work are is upon making the motion guide, you need to get a pen tool or a pencil tool, and draw it in one stroke, without letting go. I tried the same just last week. I tried using existing lines, but they didn’t work. I tried connecting a whole bunch of straight lines, but that didn’t work.

Good luck anyway.

Hey man. it does work.
You have to break apart the existing line…

Then make sure to get the properties of thing you are moving across the guide…
Make sure it has Guided checked in the properties…
But that was the problem… the existing line has to be broken apart first…
