Moving position of a layer

[hellofilms]

I want to change a position of a whole layer.

I dont want to use the keyframer because then it will make my two`s into one`s and I dont want that.
Just reposition the whole layer.

I have tried out the panning and transform tool trying to apply to whole Current layer but I could not make it work.

You can use the "use instance heads only" option in the FXStack.

fine,

Now the animation works better than when they are tranformed into 1`s.

But of some reason when running th fx it only makes the first images.
I must have done some setting wrong.

enclose a screen shot.

seems like you want to apply your keyframer fx on the layer "girl_walk_". The layer has only one head and you are trying to apply the fx on all instances heads. That is why you get that result.

Best is you create a layer with blank instances on 2's and then apply the keayframer fx there (on all instances and on heads)

[hellofilms]

So you have to add as many empty heads as you want to have in the new layer.

or

you can use the source maybe to change that ( well suing a copy so nothing goes wrong. )

most of the time I click on the source layer and use this button from the animator panel to create a blank layer for the keyframer:

But it depends how your source layer looks like and what you want to do with the keyframer.

Great,
Thats what I wanted. thanks!

Now just another thing that I did not get right.
In the middle of this walk I want to have a little rotation.
In the keyframer there are 3 different kinds of rotation.
Why are the difference between them?

the three different rotations are for the X,Y and Z axis (blue, green, red).
just use the last one if you want to stay in the 2 dimensional space
