Puppet tool animation problems

Hi there! I have some problems while recording an animation using puppet transform. 1. When I recording puppet transform at some layer, the animation that was done at the other one layer didn't playing, so I can't properly animate without seeing a base animation I was made before on other layer. How to make the animation that was done before on other layer playing while I'm recording at other layer? That's the first one question. 2. Is there any way to see an object that I'm transforming with puppet tool while I'm recording? Not to see an grid or contours of object, but the all object I transforming in real-time? Thanks a lot!

Sorry for my very bad english!

    Answer to 1 and 2 is that it's not possible. you can only reference other puppet pins in the same effect, you can only show the puppet layer while recording and you can only show wireframe with or without mesh.

    I recommend watching the following video: https://youtu.be/T4mjkVXfG80?si=sGcmmQigPZ-xWHFx

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

    Hello

    Unfortunately, I did not understand your problem exactly.

    But I have a few suggestions:

    1. Never change the storage location of the original files.

    2 Do not change the name of the save files.

    3 In your layers, if you make a change, apply it to the mother layer.

    4. Due to the layering of Adobe software, consider the order of the layers and know that the top layers are in the top priority for display.

    5 Avoid interference of layers except in controlled situations

    Oh, that's very bad. I didn't thought that puppet animating will be so difficult. Thanks.

    well it's better than frame by frame right?

    if you have a suggestion for making this better, you could ask for it:
