Thanks Dave
after thinking carefully about how I want these child layers to behave , i’ve decided that i want to move their positions along keyframes. simple all i do is move along the time line mark a keyframe and move the selected child layer then move along mark a keyframe move the child etc. no problems. Now what I want to do is slightly more complicated, I want to motion sketch keyframes, why will ae allow me to a child layer and keyframe it manually, but not allow me to move them in motion sketch.
You are right, I needed to plan out exactly what I wanted. I’ll motion sketch objects from now on
before parenting them to layers.But don’t you think it would be more fun if the software was more
versatile and intuitive… boo
thanks
