[@joescho]

Anybody know how i can do this with a PNG file instead of a shape? I can't do the whole stroke fill thing... i just get a blue outline. Trying to use the effect to show a human body outline filling with water. thanks a lot in advance

[@arronenglish]

i ended up making a separate shape layer, then drew a mask in the shape of the cup and then linked the liquid to that and it did the job

[@ShreyaShah11]

ua-cam.com/video/yjiPM06eu60/v-deo.html this video helps in converting png to shape layer.

[@slyasassin]

what does the influence script do?

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

Hi Tyrell, basically it helps to make keyframe velocity a lot easier. You can find the original video / post here:
motionarray.com/tutorials/after-effects-tutorials/how-to/how-to-easily-create-better-animations-in-adobe-after-effects

[@christopherevers1169]

Can anyone explain why this doesn't work for me?!!?! Every time I try and add the Alpha Track Matte, the liquid is NOT visible at all. I have the wave warp on, the keyframes placed but when I add the alpha track matte it makes the liquid disappear and even playing the sequence with keyframes does not show the liquid rising. WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!

[@ananyagupta1212]

same here

[@eslammagdy7658]

i liked so mush but under influence script link not opening

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

Hi Eslam, I'll take a look at it, sorry for the problem

[@DanishAnsari-qc4tl]

?Can we do it without the script?

[@akmalrafiq112]

you doesnt even show how to get track matte column how im supposed to do it

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

Hi Akmal, at the very very bottom left of your Ae screen there should be a button that says "Toggle Switches / Modes" and when you click it it should allow the track matte column to pop up. Hope that helps. Sorry for the late reply

[@NYCKZ360]

I am now thirsty as hell for some orange juice 🤨.

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

Haha

[@YuuneeseForever]

So I've been animating my bubbles 1 by 1 :')
