That’s a good way of doing it. I’ll use that in the future. This actually isn’t a simple “fly in” effect. The elements come in on cranes and ladders and scissor lifts and the like.
So, I can’t redo all my animation at this point.
And no, the 3D option was not checked on all the layers (woops!) I’m pretty new with AE. Unfortunately, I’m trying to finish a project while simultaneously learning the app.
That sloved the problem. Now they all behave the way they should when parented together.
Thank you much!
