Drift expression
I have been searching the threads, but with little knowledge of expressions I do have, I can’t translate what I need to a working expression.
I would like to drift an element based on a tracked movement. Right now I have my object parented to a null and the null is following the leader layer.
On the null:position
x = thisComp.layer(“leader”).position[0];
y = thisComp.layer(“leader”).position[1];
[x+5,y-50]rotation
thisComp.layer(“leader”).transform.rotation/5which is ok there is a little movement of the object based on a lot of movement of the leader null.
How do I get it to drift with an ease in both position and rotation? -

I’m not sure what you mean by “drift”.

More than just an ease. As if the parented object had momentum or was only loosely tied to the leading obeject so it appears to float with the leader and follow it, but not “locked” to it.

It’s possible this could help:

If not, maybe you need something like this:

but set up to look at the parent layer’s keyframes.

Thanks Dan, as always very appreciated. I plan to work on this using your links and working on getting what I need so I can share my findings.
