I have a simple issue with mirroring a layer and keeping the keyframes intact. Gif included
Hi guys, been a little while since I’ve been here! I love the new layout of the website!
Okay. I’m sorry if this is a simple fix, but it’s been a while since I’ve used After Effects. As you can see in the gif provided, my animal only has one ear. I want to mirror that and keep the keyframes unaffected, so it’s like a perfect mirror. Could someone help me and show me what to do here please?

Hi there, thanks for replying!
It’s done using imported pixels. I’ve attempted it, but no matter how much a fiddle I can’t get it to do the desired effect. I’m sure I’m doing a brain fart and it’s really simple.See below for the general effect I’m getting.
