  • Mesh Warp: How to control over time.

    Hello,

    I’m having some trouble with the Mesh Warp tool. I’ve set up my mesh and want to animate it from unwarped to warped. From what I gather, I ought be able to do this by keyframing the Distortion Mesh property, however Distortion Mesh has no properties – when I twirl it down it’s blank. I can place a keyframe on the timeline by clicking the stopwatch, but there’s no slider or numerical box to enter a property.

    Any idea what’s up with it?

    Thanks!

    Fab

    Set a keyframe for the distortion mesh at the frame where you want your animation to start. Leave the mesh unaltered so that the image looks normal. Then move to the point in time where you want your animation to finish and then distort the mesh to what ever you want, a keyframe will be automatically created.
