Animated layers don't translate together

Post by 3deeguy »

Is there a reliable way to have multiple layers move as one character? I'm mixing point motion with group layer and vector layer translation and I'm adding a lot more keys to try to correct the problems I see.

I think I should confine layer translation to the parent layer but before I undo all my previous work and discover it didn't solve the problem I'd like to hear from the forum.
Cheers, Larry

Well, put them into a group/bone layer?

Sometimes I run into this problem myself. If one of the inside layers already moves correctly, I go to each key and write down the layer movement values and the frame number. Then I recreate the same keys for the top group layer. After erasing these keys in the inside layer everything should move as intended.
