Hello,

I have a curve the I want to keyframe/animate the position of the points manually. For some reason I'm not able to keyframe the position with an edit node. And when using transform node I'm unable to animate the tangents and the transform node can only handle one point per node and I have multiple points to animate manually. Is there an easy way to animate all the points position and tangents individually?

Thanks for the help!

Another option is to use the path tool in the OBJ context.
Hover over the viewport press tab and type path. Use it directly in the viewport.
It creates a box for each point and its scaling acts as the tangent for the resulting path.
You can animate those boxes like regular obj objects.
