For your first question:
There might be an even easier way to do this, but I would just parent all your 3d layers to a 3d null and nudge the null 5 pixels in X.
For your second situation I would one again create a 3d null and position it how you want all your other layers to be positioned along the X axis. Then I would add the following expression o the position property of all the 3d layers you want to move in X:
//–
nullLayer = thisComp.layer(“Null Layer”);
[ nullLayer.position[0], position[1], position[2] ]
//–
That expression makes the layer use its own Y and Z positions and take its X position from the null.
Hope this helps.

I can’t see the footage so I can’t really say if I think it is trackable, but is the orange spheres have a lot of contrast with the background I’de say it probably is trackable. I may be stating the obvious, but be sure to go into the options dialog box of the tracker controls pallete and be sure to change the settings there to “track using RGB.” Im thinking theat with white ice and a light orange ball, this would work well. However, if the ball is signifigantly darker or lighter than the surrounding area you might want to use luminance based tracking. Also, sometimes if found that using a levels filter on source footage to boost the contrast between the tracjed object and the background can help make tracking easier.

There are many different ways to rotoscope, and I find that you get the best results from using a combination of a few different methods. I’ll usually draw some masks with the pen tool and animate them around what I am trying to isolate. If im trying to roto out a person, I’ll use one mask for the head, another for the body etc. After this is done, Ill make touchups with AE’s painting tools. Search the archives for “roto” for more advice.
