    I have a person on a transparent BG.. ie Trevor.png. with a puppet pin attached to his right hand moving as though he is going to play a Violin. (I used the over lap pin so his hand comes across the front of his body). I have a Bow.png that i would like to attach to his moving right hand. How is this possible?

    I have version CS3.

    Expressions are quite new to me. Any advice will be very welcoming.

    Thanks in advance.

    Like this:

    L = thisComp.layer(“Trevor.png”);
    L.toWorld(L.effect(“Puppet”).arap.mesh(“Mesh 1”).deform(“Puppet Pin 1”).position)
