Baking null object and parent properties into a layer

26 June 2012 - 05:07 PM

I have a character in After Effects who is split up into multiple layers (legs, arms, torso, head, etc).

I have the layers parented to each other as you'd expect for typical character animation (hand>forearm>shoulder>torso), and then I have null objects driving the overall animation (for example, left to right movement across the screen, etc).

Following so far?

What I need is a way to bake all those parented and null object properties directly into the character. So that, let's say, I deleted all the other layers and null objects, the head of the character would still move as if it were still parented to the other layers and null objects, but instead, is moving under it's own "power" (position, rotation, and scale).

Hopefully this isn't super confusing and hopefully there's a way to do it!

Thank you.

How to force each frame to have a keyframe?

18 June 2012 - 03:07 AM

Dear Mograph.net,

is there an easy way to make every frame in my comp have a keyframe? Instead of relying on interpolation, I want a keyframe for each frame (position, scale, and rotation).

Thank you.
