  • Manipulate X value within Position

    If you have a layer with key framed position X,Y values but you just want to keep the Y values. So the layer just moves up and down, but gets rid of the side to side X values. The layer was not tracked it was motion sketched. This is easy, why am I blanking?

    I have gone into the vale graph editor, selected the x position and deleted the x value and gave it a single value. This didn’t work?

    This expession on Positon should do what you want:

    x = 150;
    [x,position[1]]

    Set x to whatever you want and it will stay at that x.
