Switch layers are cool but it doesn't seem possible to edit the shape of a switch layer once its been keyframed.

As far as I can tell it isn't possible but it would be cool if you could:

Turn a key frame for a switch state into a normal keyframe of a shape whose points can then be changed about.

Help.

You would need to be in the current visible vector layer that's inside the switch folder. There you can edit the shape and move points around.

Turn a key frame for a switch state into a normal keyframe of a shape whose points can then be changed about.

Is this what you're looking for?

Thanks Genete for the tip. That works if you are only moving from one shape to another one but becomes more complicated when there is more than 1 in the switch folder as there normally is in lip synching for instance.

Any other ideas?

If you have ASPro you might find this thread useful... its about keyframing actions by script - i.e. using a switch layer insert mouth shape actions into your time line...

I tend to set up all of my mouth shapes as single frame actions now instead of switch layers (although the only way to do this is to build/rig a mouth that is versatile enough to emote all the different shapes without really switching to a totally different shape)...

Hope that helps, check out my 'share your work' threads for some results of talking tests...
