  • Pick Whip, Null Object + preset issue

    Posted by Saskya Olsen on April 30, 2019 at 10:12 pm

    Feeling overwhelmed as I’m currently editing a big college project and I need some help!
    I have downloaded some fake artificial camera movement presets to use over a still image in after effects. By creating a null object, I can apply the presets to this and parent it to the still image, allowing it to create a shaky camera effect. This worked great the first time…but it isn’t working a for a second shot! The preset is on a new null object and parented to the new still image, but nothing is happening! I have tried to pre Compose, but this doesn’t help. Any ideas?

    What is parented to what? The image should be parented to the null, not the other way round.

    And with that, my very stupid issue is solved! I was doing it the other way around… thank you!
