20_00 Keypresses

‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾

Each key has a slider from 0 (fully released) to 100 (fully pressed). This value is used in rotation and brightness expressions that result in the key being rotated downward and darkened when pressed.
Keypress expressions (on bottom key)

‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾

Parent the top key to the bottom. Add brightness/contrast on both and pick whip the brightness for the top to the bottom.

IMPORTANT: Photoshop files with shapes, non-standard blending modes, and filters are crashing AE on composition import for some reason. Just export flat files from Photoshop as a workaround for now.
