    Null objects are used for parenting and expressions. Extremely useful.

    There are dozens of tutorials on the Cow that use them. See Rick Gerard’s Camera tutorials.

    Null’s are genrilly used to control other objicts. Say, your gonna move some things around the screen, maybe you want many things to moove around the screen, like, for of them maybe. Create a null and move the null around but don’t until after you use an expression to all the other objictz that you want to move so their just following the null. It’s really ez.

    Yes I would certainly recommend a thorough and dramatic plunge into the After Effects documentation, including the manual. However, under these circumstances, your best investment in time will be the online help system. Search for NULL.

    This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
