I didn’t ask advise on legal issues. I’m well informed on those matters.

Harm, is it your habit to offer useless advice on this board? Just curious. Don’t you have more important things to do with your time?
cheers, dmcg

huh? hit the “expand” button and suddenly the points were revealed. What the heck is “expand?”

Yes, I tried this. I don’t see any anchor-points. just the trace lines. I try to click on the trace lines and I get that audio ping that tells you you can’t do it. Mind you I can copy the trace lines, and paste them in a new layer. But I still can’t get hold of any anchor-points or even see them with any of the pen tools.

I used the demo of “silhouette” and that program created tracelines with editable anchor-points, unfortunately my time ran out on the program.

Hair still falling out at an alarming rate.

Add anchor point pen tool, remove anchor point pen tool, and convert anchor point don’t work on the trace lines. The pen tool just creates a new anchor point for a new path.

Argh!

Yep, still trying to figure this out. you wrote:

“You can then alter the expression with “*-1″, which will invert the value and fix the up vs. down problem”

The expression you used “clamp(thisComp.layer(“Audio Amplitude”).effect(“Both Channels”)(“Slider”), 0, 10)” worked, but the mouth went up instead of down.

Where in this expression do I use the “*-1” ?

My mouth should rotate, at the most, 35 degrees downward.

Sorry. I am trying to RTFM.

I got the expression working, but the mouth goes up instead of down, and for some reason the range of motion of the jaw is actually LESS than it should be – it should rotate about 35 degrees. Can’t figure out how to invert the jaw action – is it as simple as minus in the expression?

Still learning this. the site you suggested is helping.
