ghost line in animation

[Rosanne, Ruben, Esther]

When I use an AI file, import the vector, and then animate the object.

Sometimes I do get a white ghost line. Specifically when I use the puppet tool.

How can I fix this? It is so not nice to see

You probably need to expand the puppet mesh.

Hi Rick, can you explain how I have to do that?

Take a close look at the tool bar. Show Mesh, Expansion, and Density controls are right there. So are the recording options. There are also different types of puppet pins.

Hi Rick, thank you for helping me out here! 

I finally understand how I can show the mesh in the toolbar. Was a great search 😉 In an other post I also read about to increase the expansion. But sadly that doesn't help. The expansion is set to a high number, and a line is still shown. I used 2 puppet pins, so not anything complex.

Also I tried to understand the link you gave to me. But maybe it is a language barrier...  I cannot follow why a line is showing and when not.

Image below, after expanding, still a line showing

Were you able to solve this? I'm having the same issue.

[Rosanne, Ruben, Esther]

No unfortunately not, expanding did something, but was not the solution.
