Parenting without parenting
I need to simulate a child layer with expressions (without parenting).
Rotation and position.
The parent layer has a different anchor point and position.
Is there any way?
Thanks in advance

I can only get it to work if you keyframe position and rotation, it would reference back to the situation at time=0 because we need a fixed state that describes the relative position between child and parent.
position:
my_parent=thisComp.layer("Null 2");child_attach_point=my_parent.fromComp(position, t = 0);
new_position=my_parent.toComp(child_attach_point);
rotation:
my_parent=thisComp.layer("Null 2");value+my_parent.rotation
Another approach would be to define child_attach_point as a fixed value, or as a control_point on the parent, that way you can start tweaking immediately without keyframing at time=0.
Am I making sense ?
