This is part 11 of 19 of the After Effects CC: Puppet Pin Walk Cycles course. Follow this link to view the course playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL75fjdmpFwHHcEMtrLAqvxLHA6evZ_cYb

For the cycle to loop seamlessly, we will need to duplicate the first pose to act as the third. But before doing that, we will also need to anchor in any previous actions.
