Kangaroo works best when used directly after duplicating a layer.

In that moment, the two copies are symmetrical in the number of effects and properties they have.

<aside> 😲 Sometimes, directly after duplicating a layer, you might cause asymmetry by introducing a new property group to only one layer, but not the other.

In such cases, Kangaroo might not perform the way you expect it to.

Let’s go over some examples of asymmetry and how to fix them 👇

Effects Asymmetry

You may have caused asymmetry by adding a new effect to only one of the layers.

<aside> ✅ Always make sure that both layers have the same effects in the same order in order for Kangaroo to successfully follow your changes.

</aside>

Text Animators Asymmetry

You may have caused asymmetry by adding a Text Animator to only one of the layers.

<aside> ✅ Always make sure that both layers have the Text Animators in the same order in order for Kangaroo to successfully follow your changes.

Shape Modifiers Asymmetry

Another way you can break the symmetry between the layers is by adding a shape modifier, such as Zig-Zag or Twist, to only one of the layers.

<aside> ✅ Always make sure that both layers have the same Shape Modifiers in the same order in order for Kangaroo to successfully follow your changes.
