I imported a falling leaf layer and it's animation. I thought I could move the layer into a new position and the animation would move as well at the 0 frame. But all the location keyframes are still in the original places (outside my render output window.
Is there a way to relocate the layer and it's keyframes to a different start location (keeping all keyframes in relation to start position).
Do I need to bind the layer?

Did you animate the points of the leaf or the layer motion? Or did you animate both?

There are two possible animation movements for a vector layer (or a bone layer). You can animate the points of a mesh over time or you can animate the movement of the layer. If you only animated the points of the leaf on the layer then translate the LAYER not the points ON FRAME 0. If you only translated the layer to make the leaf move then you could translate the points of the mesh ON FRAME 0 so the leaf STARTS in the right spot.

If this is an image layer you would only have ONE way to animate movement, by moving the layer.

In that case put the falling leaf layer inside a bone or group layer. Now move this bone or group layer. There will only be keys for the parent layer and not the child layer. The movement of the child layer would be in RELATION to the movement of the parent layer.

This would work as well for a mesh layer if you have keyed both point and layer motion.

I animated both point and layer in a vector. I wish I had thought to put it all in a group. It worked like a charm
