It clearly explains all the steps to create 2D character animations using the Puppet tool in After Effects.

You cannot use continuous rasterization with the Puppet Tool. There is nothing wrong. It's how this stuff works. Turn off CR and/ or pre-compose your layers to the correct size before applying Puppet.
