moving a warp mesh
mesh warp is a fixed grid & it appears impossible to keep a specific warped shape over an element that shifts about within the footage (in this case a dancing woman i want to ‘hourglass’)… when i apply it to an adjustment layer in an effort to track it to a the moving woman & therefore follow her around the screen the warp grid again remains fixed even when i reposition the adjustment layer (or solid set as an adjustment layer) …
is this making sense?Any tips…?
FAST pleeeeease? -

Try making an hourglass gradient ramp and use dispalcement map on your footage. In AE 7 you can precompose the gradient and turn on collapse transformations to move the gradient to match the woman.
Aharon Rabinowitz has created some amazing tutorials which go into depth on the displacement map effect. Check out all three.

thanks but i need the ability to adjust the warp as it goes, not just a static deformation that follows a character.
Cheers though
