apple motion Scroll canvas left or right

Hello all

On Apple Motion, drawing a bezier line : its mouse, I can scroll up and down and go on drawing the line, but how do we scroll left and right ? Each time I try use the hand tool, the B.Line closes

Or, is there a way to go on drawing a Bezier line, once it has been closed ?

Thanks in advance

Editing motion paths is almost impossible I've been trying to use Motion for some simple animations and I found that it's so damn difficult to edit the motion paths. I'm trying to right click on a path to add a point, and it's almost impossible. Most clicks miss the path. It is so frustrating. I use a Magic Trackpad. Maybe I should use a mouse? Is there something I can change in Motion, some preferences or parameters for adjusting the cursor precision?

How to do horizontal scroll in Numbers on a non-touch screen? I just loaded an Excel spreadsheet into Numbers, and it came across pretty well. Unfortunately the sheet is bigger horizontally than my iMac's screen. There doesn't seem to be a horizontal scroll bar, nor can I find a mode which allows dragging using the mouse. I can reduce the size of the whole sheet until it fits the screen, but then it's too small to work with. I can't believe there's no way to do this, but I can't find anything in the Help pages for Numbers. By the way I'm using a conventional 3-button mouse. Perhaps if I were using a trackpad I could make the scroll happen with multiple-finger gestures, but I can't really believe that a trackpad is compulsory. Can anyone help?

Hi, you should be able to hold the space bar to swap between the bezier tool and the hand tool. Hold the space bar to drag the canvas, and then release to return directly to the bezier tool and continue drawing.

Does this work for you? If not, can you please provide a screen recording of what happens?

For your other question ..to continue with a bezier, select it and go to edit points mode to continue working on it.
