Walk Cycle distorting puppet

Question

Hi guysTrying to get the hang of CA and I am running into a problem with distortion of the graphics when I view a rigged puppet in a walk cycle in the record screen.He looks like he is walking just fine, but there is horrible extreme distortion of the graphics around the limbs when it plays. I also had trouble getting the limbs to auto attach, now that the staple tool is gone. none of the limbs were attaching to the body,  so I used the pin tool to pin them down.Tried using an illustrator file, thought maybe there was some problem with that, so I created a photoshop version too, exact same thing happened.I even tried opening the walkbot file and trying to change his psd to see if that helped. The walkbot animation would play fine, but when I substituted one of his limbs for a layer I created, I got the same weird distortion..see attached screenshotany help - at my wits end here! : )David

I'm happy to help if you message me directly, or post your project/puppet in this thread.

Things to look at:

* Are both legs/arms independent layers.* Are both legs/arms Attach To: "Auto" with the origin handle of the legs moved to the hip/shoulder?
* Are there any opposite limb tags? (e.g., left knee put on the right knee)
