Change the puppet engine from "advanced" to "legacy", then schange it back to "advanced". For some reason, this fixes it for me.

Tried all the other suggestions - was ready to tear out my hair and this worked!

Disable your FX on the puppet tool, change the comp frame rate to what you want, and then enable your puppet tool FX again. It has worked for me!

The same thing happen to me. The solution that worked for me if you switch off the Continuous Rasterize and change the expansion of the mesh to different number...it worked 🙂

I had the same problem, I found that changing the frame rate after creating the puppet mesh is the reason.

When I set the frame rate back to the same when I used the puppet tool everything worked properly

    Thanks, i have tried  it but am getting this same error when i enable Rasterize switch. If i disable this option the animation is working fine but am losing the quality of the animation.

    Is there any alternate way to increase the quality without enabling this?
