    Hello everyone,
    I’m trying to use motion sketch with parented ai layers, the motion is captured, but the original position is completely lost (the whole movement is transposed to the side somewhere. I’m cutting and duplicating, then unparenting the layers as a work around, any other suggestions as this process is tiring.
    cheers

    Thanks Dave
    after thinking carefully about how I want these child layers to behave , i’ve decided that i want to move their positions along keyframes. simple all i do is move along the time line mark a keyframe and move the selected child layer then move along mark a keyframe move the child etc. no problems. Now what I want to do is slightly more complicated, I want to motion sketch keyframes, why will ae allow me to a child layer and keyframe it manually, but not allow me to move them in motion sketch.
    You are right, I needed to plan out exactly what I wanted. I’ll motion sketch objects from now on
    before parenting them to layers.But don’t you think it would be more fun if the software was more
    versatile and intuitive… boo
    thanks
    John
