Connector rotation with shape layer path

Post by Chup » Tue May 14, 2019 3:39 am

Hi there,
I've been trying to use connector.
I want path to change along with forearm rotation.
But for some reasons it's not working. I'm not sure what did I done wrong.

I have followed every steps from this but still doesn't work.

I can't use connector for slider or rotation with shape layer path.
Please see attached.

I think you're trying to connect the FK value instead of the rotation of the structure itself.
If you connect the FK, the connection won't do anything when animating in IK

Thank you for you reply! I appreciate your answer but it wasn't work anyway when I tried animating lower rotation itself.

Animating shape path when it's rotating with connector

Post by Chup » Wed May 15, 2019 3:12 am

Hello
It's me again! Is there any one know exactly how to connect layer path with rotation using connector?
I know it's kinda basic but I have struggling with trying animate path along with rotation.
I created the simple shape just for example. I want the shape path changing its form while rotation is animating.
But It seems doesn't connect with rotation.
Please see the link below.

It looks like a bug.
Can you "enable javascript debugging" in the preferences of After Effects, then try again and post here a screenshot of any error/editor which is opened when using Duik?

Thank you for you reply :)
I have tried enable the JavaScript debugger then restart my computer.
But it's still not working.
