  3D layer question

  Posted by Joseph Mehr on August 11, 2006 at 11:06 am

  Hi, Just made a rapid search in the archive, but to no avail.
  I am Avid editor and occasionally do some basic work with AE.
  My problem will surely be a newbie question for AE experts.
  I have 4 video footage layers on which I add a null layer. I set all the video layers to become this null layer’s children. I promote this layer to 3D, and now I am unable to move them in the 3D axis, only a rectangle shape shows up and moves as desired. What do i wrong ?
  many thanks for answer

  All layers need to be 3D, yes?

  Yes, I would all layers are affected by my 3D settings

  Sorry, I’ll rephrase: each child layer should have its 3D box checked “on”. Are they on?
