Motion pasting
Is there a way to apply motion from one layer to another, but, not change the second layer’s coordinates to the first layer’s?
For example layer 1 is at x:100 and layer 2 is at x:500
layer 1 moves 1000 pixels to x:1100
I want to be able to copy the 1000 pixel movement to layer 2 so that layer 2 x:1500

A quick way would be to make layer 1 the Parent of Layer 2. Then layer 2 will move from it’s original position but will move relative or mimicing the Parent’s movement.

Took me a while to get back to this post.
Well there’s two things I’m trying to accomplish
1. take motion from other comps (not from other layers) and apply them elsewhere.
2. I also use parenting in some cases, but I’m interested in temporary parenting where one layer follows another for a certain amount of time, but then begins it’s own independent movements (imagine a train moving and then the last car is detached and then slows/eases down at it’s own pace)
to accomplish that I usually end up duplicating a layer and unparent the duplicate so that I can start a new, non-dependent motion.
