Thanks John! However, I must let you know that video shows up as private.

I am playing around with the other puppet pin tool options now. I wasn’t even aware of those options before! They seem to be making my work more manageable, I just need to practice with them. Thank you.
As far as Duik goes, isn’t that just taking parenting, and allowing to manipulate the appendage from the end, rather than its base?

I don’t need the line to completely untangle. This character model is actually temporary, when he is in a “crushed” state, and he uses his arm to claw the floor to help him move.
The blue point should be the only normal anchor point that freely rotates. The purple points would be where some degree of bending is allowed. The rest would just stretch along with everything. The hand however, should not stretch, while still remaining attached to the arm end (this is a problem I ran into using puppet pin, as right now the arm and hand are one shape so everything just stretches along one axis, undesirable; having the hand as a separate object avoids that problem, but then the hand doesn’t remain attached to the end).
I could turn the purple points into simply more blue points (which I mentioned before is a last resort) but that kind of solution would give me an animation that looks too stiff.
Thank you John!

My apologies, I highlighted the arm in red!

I figured it out. Toggle mask and shape path visibility was turned off somehow for that comp.

I kept trying exporting from AE and it finally worked with the mask…I didn’t change anything or close the programs, I have no idea what was going on. If anyone might know I’d appreciate it, it’d be nice to be aware of what to avoid going forward.

Thanks, I’ll try these things and see what happens. Appreciate the help.

I figured it out. Essentially all those tools are brushes; you need to double click the layer you want to apply the brush to so that it opens in its own layer panel. For all others who run into this brain fart problem.

Thanks guys. This was really helpful. I’ll see what option works best.

Alright, all of these options sound great to choose from. Thank you Walter and Terry for your help.
