Ohhh, thanks, amazing!! Will try when I get back in the morning. It’ll save so much time on this project as I can pretty much automate everything 😀

Many thanks Dan.

Apologies – I inadvertently pressed the Report Post button!!!

That’s great, but yes – really want tweening. I’ll go the long way round for now as it sounds quite complicated. Many thanks for your time.

Thanks so much Dan, you’ve made that look stupidly easy (and has saved me hours :D).

Massive thanks

[Mark Warner]

That’s brilliant Dan, thank you. It looks deceptively simple!!

Thanks again for everyones help. Just couldn’t get it to work so re-scanned the internet with different terminology, found this, works great!

myParent = thisComp.layer("master");
myProp = myParent.transform.position;
value + (myProp.value - myProp.valueAtTime(0))

You have to add keyframes in order to see this work. If you move you “master” null around on frame 0 nothing will happen – it’s the keyframes further down the timeline where the magic happens!

Hi Wayne

thanks for you post. It’s nearly there but there’s something not quite right. When your posted script is executed my object jumps away from it’s current location. I can move it back into position manually (theres some weird mirroring of movement going on when I do this (i.e., I move the item left but it moves right)).

I’d rather the objects stay where they are and follow my “master” movement that way. I’m guessing there’s some additional constant that needs adding to do this but can’t figure it out.

Hi Pierre

thanks for responding, some good tips there. I’ve also found it more forgiving if I apply some effects after RSMB Pro and not before (although not always an approach you’d want to take).

It seems to be strangely attached to the CAPS Lock key. If you try to hide AE and it doesn’t, I find turning caps-lock on and off does the trick!
