Activity Forums Adobe After Effects offset animation data

    I have animated a layer. However, I want to offset this whole animation by moving the layer left or right. I can easily do this by parenting it to a NULL and moving the null. In combustion/toxic, if I turn off animate and moved it where I want it, all of the animation and keyframes offset to the new location. Possible?

    Of the two, I like the null trick better.

    Gotcha.. That’s easy enough to do, I just didn’t know if there was a more obvious (or ‘correct’) way..! 🙂

    I hate to move the anchor point, everything revolves around it (literally!)..

    Thanks,

    Yup, that does it. That is what I was looking for!

    Click ‘position’ to highlight all the position keys, then you can just drag the layer (or use arrow keys) in the viewport to move the layer where you want. All the keyframes offset to the new location..

    Perfect! Thanks!
