Deleted my previous comment - after mashing a few keys I figured out that the ALT key is the equivalent to the 'Option' key. This is such a useful tutorial. I was having difficulty replicating it purely on my own but have it nailed now. I'm not a pro graphics designer at all but I do a lot of animations for my own twitch stream and and doing some for a friend at the minute with a bouncing, or not, egg for him :). Again, ths is so useful - I can see how the principles in it could be applied to other stuff too. Thanks Plugin Play!

I have a question, How can I add ball's shadow on the floor. Because when the ball bounces, it will touch floor that's why I wanted have shadow on the floor. Thank you so much.

This is great, thanks! I have a question about applying squash and stretch after already rotating the ball though. If I try to scale the ball in any way, it applies it diagonally since the Y axis was rotated, if that makes sense. It seems like such a simple thing to fix, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it.

sounds stupid but I can simple use a pen tool from illustration and position it in after effects ? It just doesnt look realistic
