how to shorten a shape (arrow) in timeline.

unless i attach an emitter, i can't seem to get the handles to be able to drag the right end of clip to shorten.
is there a workaround?

thanks

I don't know, which is why I suggested the Motion forum. There's probably others here you know.

ok so if i use the line tool and add arrow to end, i get my arrow that i can shorten or lengthen in timeline.
in adjusting the first and last point offsets i get a tiny blue line. is there a way to get rid of that small line?
thanks

Blue line? Zoom it, it may be a tiny section of something.

like this one?



if persistent, a 'left over', no complete refresh of GUI … ignore it …

I’m referring to the blue line coming out of back of arrow.
I actually went back in and re-created another arrow and didn’t get the line.
