    Hi there.

    I am currently working on a project where there is a mass outlay but the script for the VO changes slightly per one.

    There is a moment in the animation where the camera rotates on it’s axis and as it does this, about 5/6 other layers have separate key frames to complement the cameras animation. This animation stays the same each time but will move a second or two earlier or later in the timeline depending on the script.

    Is there a way to link all these keyframes to one layer that will sit at the top of the composition so all i need to do is slide the 1 layer left and right to fit script and all relative key frames move with it?

    Many thanks
    Andy

    Precomp the layers and time remap the precomp in a section where it is unnoticeable in the animation (Where nothing happens or where the speed change isn’t a distraction)?
