  Relative parenting while maintaining local animation properties

  Posted by Aaron Mclane on February 22, 2012 at 11:02 pm

  I have a cc light sweep crossing over an image that is tracked to a moving object. I have a the center parented to the tracking information but I need to be able to animate its position while it is in motion.

  The expression looks like this right now:

  (thisComp.layer(“Null 3”).transform.position)

  Pretty basic. But I can’t figure out how to regain control of the local animation properties.

  I seem to remember the solution to be pretty simple but cant remember how to word it to look it up.
  Any help would be appreciated.
