I don't know what's happening, I've been trying to animate a simple pixel-art gif of my avatar blinking, but even after following this tutorial, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmMJuuX5Ago&t=589sI have no clue what happened and now i can't see the faces in question when I enter the animation tab. 😭

It looks like you also gave the base mesh of the face a keyframe to show or hide it (FaceNeutralBlinking).
Only the eyes and mouth bones should have keyframes.
If that was not it, then maybe you didn't customiz the expression in the keyframes to make 1 show up for every value of variable.FaceNeutralBlinking?
Or you didn't split up the geometry correctly under each bone.
You should be able to do what the variable placeholder does manually, by hiding every face but one (by clicking the eye icon in the outliner in Edit mode)

ah, I don't have eyes and mouth bones, I just have one face mapped onto the entire image. I don't really know how to customize the expression in the keyframes to make one show up for every value of the variable 😓 The extent of all my knowledge starts and ends at 7:00- to 8:00 timestamps on the video
this is what i have

you confirm that each of these faces is nested under a different bone, and that you gave each of these bones a scale keyframe with a different expression (like in your screenshot, but with numbers going from 0 to 6)?
or from 1 to 7, same thing

I think this is what you're asking, but I'm not sure

remove "_type" from the variable placeholder name, then the name will match the one in your keyframe expressions

Alright, I just tested it on my end and it seems like variable placeholders are bugged, I'll report it

how will we know when they're fixed?

I feel very silly but how do I do that

@queen dragon and @upper crown
Just fyi, the (main) error seems to have been the capital letters in the variable names
Once changed to something like v.face_neutral_blinking it worked just fine
