Ah, it looks like you had paths that were formatted in a tricky way where some of the values were smashed together with no space or comma. For example:

126.87-32.48-310.91-58-499

Instead of:

126.87,-32.48,-310.91,-58,-499

So you can fix the path markup by adding commas (or spaces) like:

<!-- OLD -->
<path id="path" class="cls-1" d="M2582.77-617.52c-126.87-32.48-310.91-58-499,9.18-231.24,82.61-212.74,214-462.53,359.86-295.13,172.35-460.44,70-804.95,271.15A1407.88,1407.88,0,0,0,569,206.21" transform="translate(-567.97 651.56)"/>

<!-- NEW -->
<path id="path" class="cls-1" d="M2582.77,-617.52c-126.87,-32.48,-310.91,-58,-499,9.18,-231.24,82.61,-212.74,214,-462.53,359.86,-295.13,172.35,-460.44,70,-804.95,271.15A1407.88,1407.88,0,0,0,569,206.21" transform="translate(-567.97 651.56)"/>

 

And don't forget to set the align and alignOrigin

 

I just added some code to the next release of MotionPathPlugin that should handle that correctly. Here's a fork that shows it working:

Better?

Okay good information, however is there a way to do this faster? Perhaps a setting in illustrator that will do this for me?

 

Thanks a lot for your help! :)

Just noticed in your codepen you're using a different version, If I copy this svg code and JS to my project it simply doesn't work using 3.7.1 Motion Path, but I notice in your code pen settings you are using 3.8.0? If I copy the CDN you've changed the codepen to, it works fine!

 

Confused!

Hi Joshua!

 

The code file he used is the beta for the next release. 3.7.1 will work if you clean up your SVG. A good place to do that is SVGOMG.

It's always a good idea to run your SVG code through it. Try using this.
