  • linking layers in timeline

    Posted by Stef Prein on March 12, 2008 at 12:20 pm

    I need to transfer a Pr pro comp (CS3) tot AE CS3. That will work, tests worked out good. In AE I’m going to time remap several layers. That won’t be a problem either. But is it possible to link the different layers to each other in some way? So, for example, when I move the top layer to the right, the layers below will move to the right as well (in the timeline by the way). And when I move, for example, the middlemost layer, all the layers below tha layer need to move with it.
    That would make my “editing in AE” a lot easyer. The main problem is, that layers form Pr Pro that have been slowed down or speeded up, are nog visible/editable in AE… The big question remains: is this possible in any way?
    Thanks a lot in advance! A good answer will really help me out!

    Yeah that works. But I was wondering if there is a way to set is up before you start to move. Sometimes I forget to select the underlying layers… Well, maybe this is the only way to get around this…
