    Hi,
    I am making a simple map animation. With 2 circle shapes as location markers and a parth between them.
    I have added key frames and a camera to tilt and move the map how I want and then parented the lines and circles to that map.
    However the path and circle shapes do not stay where I put them. Any ideas what is going on its driving me crazy.

    Are all of the layers 3D? Were any keyframes accidentally added to the shape layers? You can select them and press ‘u’ to check for animation.

    Thanks for your reply,
    Yes all the layers are 3d and there are no accidental key frames added.
    To give you a better picture the map is zooming from one part of the map to another and a camera is applied to give the map a slight tilt. Surely by parenting the path and location markers to the map they should move with it, but when you play back the animation you can see them sliding away from where I put them.
