Multi Parent Rigging Docs

Multi Parent Rigging brings modular animation to After Effects. It allows you to create additional Parented transform properties ( position, rotation, scale, opacity ) that connect to any other layer. With a global slider to control all properties or individual sliders in the advanced settings you are able to Parent each property smoothly to that of another layer, no matter if its 2D, 3D, hidden, locked, parented, or even a child. It’s easy to set up, easy to use and allows you to combine different parented properties from different layers, or the same layer at different times, or at the same time. Give it a spin, this is something you won't regret.
