GOOD USE FULL 👍

[@LinKaaxMu]

Really appreciate you taking the time to explain how this tool can be used to its potential. U R Z Best!!🤩🤩

[@Miodowy]

Valuable material, but I advise against using puppet pin with vectors and AI files - not only does it consume memory, it can generate a lot of errors. It is definitely better to export files to PNG.

[@SimsbellVilla-um8ch]

sir how do you select all the keyframes and remove them at all? beginner here

[@SimsbellVilla-um8ch]

if i select all and hit del all pins also are deleted not just keyframes

[@MindEditz.]

i love this video, i will donate if i get a link

[@bastianrivero]

when i hit control and move the pin around, it wont create keyframes, whats the issue there? thanks

[@ryankramer]

If you're on a Mac, it's the Command key. Control is for the PC.

[@harshitbhatia3474]

[@harshalsonwane3916]

if i put puppet pin on a vector file and precomp it. it will not be as crisp as it should be, it gets blur and toggling raterize option just destroys the layer, any idea about this ?

[@SonduckFilm]

Hi Harshal, I'm not sure. I have not experienced that before.

[@ollwee]

Have you tried rasterize the layer before using the puppet pins? Also if that doesnt work, under "Mesh 1" experiment with the Expansion. If you the layer is getting destroyed u can try increase that. See if it worked! (im still kinda new into this but im learning aswell)

[@harshalsonwane3916]

@@SonduckFilm Can you try that ? because I am unable to find the ans on internet. You just use the puppet pin on a character. animate the way you want and then just precomp it and turn on the the rasterize and pls check if you face the same issue. Thanks in advance.
