    1.Happy
    2.Sad

    You can use this technique for the entire face, or for the eyes/mouth individually. This is a common method for cycling through phonemes as well.


    // Each frame corresponds to a different emotion state, starting with frame zero.

    emotionSlider = thisComp.layer("Controls").effect("Emotion Slider")("Slider");
    framesToTime(emotionSlider)
