“baking” child keyframes
hi,
i’m using an expression that enables a lens flare to track a 3D objectthisComp.layer(“Light 1”).toComp([0,0,0]);
however, my “Light 1” layer is parented to another layer, and apparently this whole thing doesn’t work because the Light 1 layer is a child, and only the parent is moving. what happens is if the parent moves, the child moves, but the lensflare stays put because it doesn’t “see” the child moving. is there a way to keyframe the child’s movements in relation to the parent’s motion so that the lensflare can track the child?
hope this makes sense.

Could you not add an expression where the filters position is tied to the position of the parent, and not the position of the layer tied to the parent.

That expression should work fine (even with the light being a child). There must be more to the story…..
