  3 point transform?

  Posted by Jan Van der bee on April 30, 2014 at 3:21 pm

  Hi all,

  I’m relatively new in After effects but i’m trying to transform a bitmap that has the shape of a triangle.
  The only transformation effects i could find have 4 transform-points (like cc power pin). All i need/want are 3 transform points: one for every corner…

  

  I’ve tried some scripting, but to no avail. Does anybody maybe know a solution for this?

  Thanks in advance!

  Try using the puppet tool.

  Depending on what you’re trying to do, the Reshape effect may be what you need:
