Issues with the Puppet Tool

Problem #1:


I don't know what's going on, but every time I use the puppet tool on the girl's eyebrows, then move the eyebrows up and and down, that stupid little outline shows up. The thing is, that outline is NOT THERE. I have "disappeared" all of the other layers looking for what could be overlapping the eyebrows, but there isn't anything there. And this always seems to happen when I use the puppet tool on the eyebrows, then try to move them. It's like there's an invisible layer somewhere that I can't delete.

For this clip it's a bit difficult to catch, but towards the end her eyebrows go up and then to the side as the camera pans down, as if she was looking worried as she looked down. Her eyebrows were not supposed to shift to the side. They were supposed to hold position. Hmm.

Problem #2:



Same problem here. You can really see that outline at the beginning. See how it disappears if I move the eyebrows down?

At first, with Problem #1, I thought that there was an issue because I was using the puppet tool in 3D space with a camera. However, in Problem #2 I didn't use 3D space or a camera or anything. Yet if I delete the puppet pins and just rotate the eyebrows, it's fine. So there is definitely something wrong with the puppet tool. Have any ideas, Ben? Sorry for the trouble!
