    Hi gang,

    Thanks for all the awesome tutorials. I’m trying to alter the features of an actor. I’m a bit of a novice with AE, so please bear with me. The scene shows him on his death rattle, face-up, after having his nose bashed in; demolished. The scene was shot with all the right fx (prosthetics, blood, etc.) but the guy’s nose is naturally pointy. I’ve been able to take it pretty far with the liquify tool, but don’t know how to track the first edited frame to follow his head movement. Is there a better tool to use? More importantly (?) is there a way to lock the changes to the rest of the clip, so’s I don’t have to duplicate it a thousand times? Thanks much!

    Eric

    Thanks Josh. I’d seen this before but hadn’t really studied it. Much appreciated!
