Scene_2.mp4 - Google Drive I've switched from the AE I was using at the beginning of this clip to the CA I used at the end....much prefer the CA!! Now I need to bring 'Lizzy' back in and her wings need to flutter, any ideas how I might best achieve that in CA before I get in there and start noodeling around?

    OK I'm completely stuck .And I can't figure out what "You have cycle layers added at the top of the character"means!

    You have cycle layers added at the top of the character - instead, you want it on the group you want to animate. Watch the video or check out any example puppet with cycle layers and see where they put the behaviors - it's on the groups themselves. In this case, you'd want 2 - one for each wing group (right and left).

    I DID watch the video I always watch the video! I'll find an example to copy.

    Yes - do a cycle layers sequence. Keyboard Triggers & Cycle Layers (Adobe Character Animator Tutorial) - YouTube

    Make a group with slight variations for each layer inside and then add the cycle layers behavior to it in CH. You could probably get away with just a super fast 2-frame in/out animation.
