Cutting Point Positions

You can cut the position values of a point in a stroke/shape. Cut also copies the positions at the current frame to the clipboard. The point attributes or any keys set to animate the attributes are not affected.

To Cut Point Values

1.   In the Viewer, scrub to the frame that contains the stroke/shape whose point position you want to cut.
2.   Activate the Select Points tool .
3.   Make sure hide points is disabled in the tool settings.
4.   Right-click on the point and select cut > point (values).

Nuke deletes any keys set to animate the positions of the selected point, and copies the position to the clipboard. Cutting the position deletes the keyframe, or, if there is no keyframe, deletes the points or spline.

NOTE:  To cut stroke/shape point values, you must be cutting the stroke/shape when it is on a keyframe, unless it has no keyframe. You cannot cut an animated stroke/shape not currently on a keyframe.
