layer.Using the Puppet tools to animate video

1. In the Timeline panel, click the Lock icon to unlock the Water background.mov layer so
you can edit it.
2. Go to 4:00, where you can see the water clearly.
3. Select the Water background.mov layer.
4. Select the Puppet Advanced Pin tool in the Tools panel, and then create two Advanced pins
in the water on either side of the crab and one each above and below it.
5. Deselect Show in the Tools panel so you can see the water clearly.
