im trying to do an effect where i made 3 masks of a car and have them shatter but some reason on the first frame they just instantly become a bunch of epices with 0 animation.  i googled it and watched like 10 videos about it idk what im doing wrong. please help

Correct answer Rick Gerard

I don't see any keyframes for Shatter. You have to animate the Force position or size to start the effect. I usually just set the position behind the layer or animate the size to start the effect—no Keyframes = breaking starting at the first frame of the layer.

You need to play with the effect settings to get this right. Here's a YouTube tutorial that could help: https://adobe.ly/4hQ8JQI
