In motion 5, I’m trying to modify a motion path by adding control points. It’s OK when I start to set the motion path and add control points with option-click, but at a certain point the dots vanish and I cannot figure any way to resume adding control points. I can modify them numerically in the behaviors menu but cannot add more.

Thanks,

Sorry if I'm just pointing the obvious, but... if you accidentally click just a little off you may be deselecting the Motion Path behavior in the layers list. Reselecting it should be all it takes.
