Ah, gotcha.

How would I go about = scaling the amplitude of the motion so if it moves 200px on the tracked = layer, it moves only 50px on the child = layer?

Hi = Robert, I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean you by = "offset". Also, the layer would then use the parent null as the centre = of rotation which would look odd.

Hi J,
Apply the tracked data to a = null, then parent your layer to it with an offset for position.

I feel a bit silly asking this here but my brain = seems to have turned to mush and I'm having trouble thinking this one = through.

I've tracked a handheld camera shot = and now want to apply that tracking data to the layers in one of my = comps, layers which already have animation data associated with them for = position and rotation. What would be the easiest way to:
  1. apply the tracked animation data to the layers in the = comp
  2. scale the amplitude of the tracked position and rotation = data as it is too severe
Many thanks for any = help.
