    Using an adjustement layer to control other layers’ movement

    Posted by Alfonso Gamez jordano on July 22, 2008 at 7:34 pm

    Hi.

    My question is simple. Is there a way to affect layers movement using an adjustement layer above, the same way it affects them when using effects?

    I’m trying to do a small “physics system”, where the adjustement layer will be the “gravity controller”, and all layers below would fall, that way, using an expression to rule them all 😛

    Thanks

    PS: I know I can achieve this by parenting every layer to a null object, for example, and controlling nulls position, but I would like to do it “cleanerly” by using the adj layer.

    Try applying the Transform effect to the adjustment layer and see if that gives you what you’re after.

    Thanks, that was it!

    I didn’t even know such “effect” existed xD

    Thanks again
