how to “liink” 2 layres?

[Gilles Gagnon] “I tried parenting one layer to another and adjusting the track motion of the parent but alas, the stubborn child stays where he is.”

That’s because the Track Motion of the parent only affects the parent. You want to use the Parent Motion if you want to affect the child tracks. Like this:

In that example I use a separate parent track to control the two children but you get the idea.

Thanks so much John,

I hadn’t seen the “other” track motion button. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks again for making my editing life easier 🙂

You’re welcome. Parent Motion is a bit different than Track Motion But you get the idea. 😉

Thanks John. I’ve looked at that tutorial before but now that I know what I’m doing (grin!!), I’ll take a closer look at it.
