Re: Parenting position of null object to position of another layer

It sounds like you're trying to accomplish what I demonstrated in my last two tutorials: Tracking a Child in After Effects.

To track the position of a child layer (layer 2), use this expression on the layer you want to effect (the effect position on Layer 1).

L = thisComp.layer(”child_layer”);
P = L.toWorld(L.anchorPoint);

where P[0] gives x, P[1] gives y, and P[2] gives z.
