Thanks for the reply Jeff. However, the timelooped comp is also timeremapped so this wouldn’t work 🙁

Here’s a sample of what i’m trying to achieve. Ae is CS6.

I would just like to apply the shape layers position to the corresponding nulls in the master comp.

This can happen if your precomp layer starts at some time other than zero in the main comp. You may need to add an offset equal to the start time of the precomp layer, like this:

offset = comp(“main comp”).layer(thisComp.name).startTime;
comp(“main comp”).layer(“controls”).effect(“Angle Control”)(“Angle”).valueAtTime(time + offset);

This solved my problem but then I ran into another in reverse but can’t figure it out…

So i have a shape layer with an animated position copied and pasted from a path. This is preComped and looped forever. This preComp is also preComped again within a master comp.

I want to take the position of the original shape layer and apply it to a null (that is in the master) so that is at the current position that the shape layer is at the current time within the master comp.

How can i do this please?
