 Article Focus:
In this video tutorial, Creative COW contributing editor Carl Larsen shows you how to track the position of a parented layer using expressions in Adobe After Effects. |
Comments | | | | I'm glad to help. It's always nice to hear people are actually working through the concepts in a tutorial themselves, versus simply watching along and forgetting how to apply the concept.
Thanks!

| | | | Dear Carl Larsen
I re-checked the pixel aspect ratio. It was 0.9; I changed the aspect ratio to square and all its working fine. once again, Thank you.

| | | | Thank you for this good tutorial. I did as it was. But there is a problem- the null object (eg. Orbit) stretches while it rotates. the linked circles also get oval shape during the animation. the beginning and ending shape is circle; but the shape will change to stretched oval when it rotates.I tried in different machines but the problem remaining.
Please advice me.. | | | | |
| | | | This is one of those tips I have to come back to a few times until I completely understand the principle!!
Thanks for the tip! | | | | |
| | | | Hello!
I'm just doing this tutorial and im at the end, but unfortunately, write-on trace writes backwords...:(
Wondering if you had any suggestions...i triple checked the codes and i know i have them correct...
the path of the moon sprouts out of the moon then the moon follows the path instead of creating a path...hope that makes sense!
any help would be greatly appreciated! ill give you a 5th cow when i can get this guy working! | | | | |
| | | | Thanks Carl -- but where's part two?!! | | | | |
| | | | One of the best tutorials in some time! Not for it's visual impact but for clearly explaining the layer and world space principles and showing some usefull expression code. | | | | |
| | | | stunning!
