Hello I’m trying to animate an image of a ballon popping so I masked the ballon and I’m keyframing in the transform section but need help making the ballon pop how do I do that? Any effects on after effects that would allow me to do this?

The first thing I can think of is Shatter + Turbulent displace

 

Create a custom shatter map with shapes that are close to parts of the balloon, Animate the Force 1 position and strength to break the balloon and the custom shatter map to set the shape, set extrusion to something very small like 1 or 2, add comp lights to give the pieces a more realistic 3D light, then add Turbulent displace to bend the pieces as they fly through space.

 

Let me know if you want to explore that kind of option. There are also a bunch of other ways to distort the broken pieces of the balloon.

A couple of ways, depending on the look you want and how experienced you are. Have a play with  CCPixel Polly above CC Lens. It will take a bit of tweaking and remember you can keyframe the Lens centre as well.
