Drive

With Drive, one layer property is the Driver and it's connected to one or more other properties referred to as Driven properties. Drive works with any numerical property that can have an expression applied to it. Each instance of Drive can have one Driver and three Driven properties.

The advantage of using Drive is creating animations with only a few keyframed properties for several animated layers that work together. The limited number of keyframes makes it convenient to make project changes and finesse easing curves.

The Driver property can be set to:

• Layer Position (X, Y, or Z)

• Scale (X or Y)

• Opacity

• Rotation (X, Y, or Z)

• Custom Property (Any numeric layer property)

The Driver values mapped to the Driven properties are automatically calculated by the Driver min and max keyframe values. The values can be overridden by placing markers on the Drive control layer.

The Driven property can be set to:

Any layer property with a keyframable numeric value.

Driven properties can be set to linear or ease interpolation.
