Yeah, that is what I finally sorted out in my mind after starting completely over on it. It is a quirky tool but is great if you are patient with it.

Where can I find some really advanced tuts on the puppet pins? I have been a member of Lynda.com for about 5 years, but I need something really advanced. The tuts I watched only explained the basics.

I have questions such as how to lock two pins together or how to connect multiple pins to a null object. There is no pickwhip for the pins in the effects area of the comp.

Yeah man, I completely started over on this. This is only my third AE project and my first time with puppet pins.

So I figured out that if I increase the expansion and the triangles, it finally found the rest of the re-draw – BUT it distorted everything else.

Anything I learn for the first time, it usually takes me about 3 tries to get it right – and these puppet pins have been no exception. It is priceless time spent.

Thanks for the help guys! Looking forward to becoming a part of this great community – have been reading it for years and just now getting involved.

Okay, now it is getting bizarre. I went ahead and imported the updated PSD and when I copy/pasted the puppet effects onto the new version, the same part of the arm that I drew on the other one disappeared as well. So this is definitely a puppet pin thing.

It is a layered comp, yes. However, I did not create a new layer, I drew on an existing one and part of the drawing is showing up in AE, but it does not animate with the rest of the layer it is on.

But this explains why the layer I created today is not showing up, thanks! I will just import that on its own, but the drawing I did on an actual layer should update properly. I’m confused.

Btw, thank you very much for your help.

Clearing the cache and memory did not work and neither did a reload. I am wondering if this has something to do with the puppet pins that were already placed when I re-drew the arm?
