Tracking question…
Okay… I know how to do this but for some reason my brain has left me today. I need to track a lens flare along an objects edge. I know I could just create a path and use the path to animate the flare but my object pushes back in 3d space and I can’t get the flare to stay on its’ edge. The object is out of view passed the camera and at 90 degrees on the X axis. It then fly’s in and rotates back to zero.
Please help someone. I have been staring at my screen and slapping myself because I KNOW, I know how to do this!Thanks,

seems like you want to align you flare and parent it, than do your aimation on top of this
hope thats what you are looking for

The problem with parenting is I don’t want to parent the whole layer… just the flare. If I parent the layer, I won’t see the glare spots and I will see the layer edges.

What about using a toComp expression? There’s a perfect reference on Dan’s site:
https://www.motionscript.com/mastering-expressions/lst-lens-flare.html
then you could parent the null, not the solid.
