help me with rotation please

[Dan Ebberts]

You probably just need to link the second wing’s rotation to the first and give the value a negative sign, with an expression like this:

-thisComp.layer(“left wing”).rotation

thanks dan thats exactly what i was looking for

ohh and how can i animate it properly i just got into expressions and im pretty new to those kind of stuff how should i approach the animation of the wings?

they are flopping properly now but i want the wing to speed up at one point i dont think keyframes will do

any thought?

thanks again

Let’s say you wanted the wings to speed up at 4 seconds into the comp. You could set it up like this to ease into the faster speed:

slow = 2;
fast = 4;
amp = 60;
startTrans = 3;
transDur = 1;

ease(time,startTrans,startTrans + transDur,wiggle(slow,amp),wiggle(fast,amp))
