Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Expressions mouth animation

  • Posted by Adam Dow on December 27, 2006 at 9:35 pm

    Greetings
    I am to trying animate a child’s drawing on lined paper by using solid layers with masks. I am then using the stroke effect set to “On Transparent” to make the character look hand drawn. I am using track mattes as well to hide any overlapping layers so that the lined paper will appear bellow.

    I am running into trouble because my mouth is made up of four different layers. On two of the layers I have 7 different masks (each mask acting as one of the character’s teeth).
    I have all my mouth positions created but it has now become very time consuming to copy and paste all of the 7 mask positions for every movement.

    Is there some kind of expression that will help me control all of my mask positions with one keyframe?

    thank you
    A.D.D. from Seattle
