    Hi Joseph. Could you attach a test puppet file that demonstrates the problem and details the steps and unmet expectations?

    Hi Guy. Are you using PSD or AI files? If you are using PSD files, ensure that your canvas size is around HD size. If you are using AI files, flatten any of the layers within the document that you don't need individually addressable. You could also send me your puppet and I can help troubleshoot the performance issues.

    A scene contains track items that refer to puppets and audio. Duplicating a scene within the project panel will duplicate the scene and its track items. Those new track items will refer to the original puppets and audio files. Perhaps you are seeing a bug? If so, can you attach a zipped up project that describes what you are duplicating and what you are expecting to happen that isn't?

    Hi John. Try setting the Taper and Wave Units to "Pixels". Does that satisfy this request?

    If the Wiggly Selector's Random Seed parameter is zero, it does use the layer value. But, if it's explicitly set, it doesn't use the layer index to derive the default seed value. Therefore, set each of your layers to the same non-zero Random Seed value and they will produce identical randomness. I just tried this, setting them both to 1 and it worked.

    Hi Chris. As far as I can tell, AE has always worked this way. If you create a shape layers with paths, a repeater, and a stroke, the paths are repeated (as if you created a compound path with multiple paths), then the result is stroked. If you put the stroke above the repeater, the repeater copies the stroked paths and can apply the opacity to each repeated copy. So, why not put the stroke before the repeater?

    If you do feel this behavior has changed, please provide a project that demonstrates these differences and provide the AE versions you are using for the comparison.

    Which version of the operating system are you running? Please try to update to the latest 10.15 and let us know if you still have the issue.

    Which behaviors are you specifically adding as replays? I'm guessing Dragger, but are there others? Behaviors and their takes operate on the specific parameters encompass within the replay, so puppet changes will mean the resulting animation changes, but it should be close, as if you recorded the replays takes with the same set of input. An description of your replay will help us understand the context of your request. Thanks.
