<p>I am unable to use the handles of the bezier curves with a <em>Effect &gt; Distort &gt; Transform</em>'s <em>Position</em>, whereas I can do that just fine using the layer's <em>Transform</em>. Does anyone know why?</p>

Is it because you can't “Separate Dimensions” in the effect?

In After Effects, how do I enable the handles of the bezier curve in the graph editor, for "Position" in a "Transform" effect?

I am unable to use the handles of the bezier curves with a *Effect > Distort > Transform*'s *Position*, whereas I can do that just fine using the layer's *Transform*. Does anyone know why?
