Puppet pin tools

I’m starting to learn how to use pins in Ae for my character movements and walk cycle and this video really helped me:

  • Advanced pin: allows rotation, more for knees/middle joints
  • Position pin: keeps it in place
  • Bend pin: Same as advanced without position keyframe, may be better for head movement etc depending on how much it moves your character’s whole body. If it moves everything too much it helps to add an extra position pin somewhere
