Scaling two layers up without losing position

Greetings,
I've got two video layers, one a standard clip and the other a motion-tracked layer with a mask, parented to a null object. (I've made a girl's body red, and her face black and white)
I've got key frames set on the masked layer for layer position and mask shape.
Both layers are at 70%. I would like to scale them up, but whenever I do I lose the position of the face, it ends up moving to the right. Is it a problem with scaling something after it has position keyframes?
Any way to fix this?
The closest thing I found to a answer was to parent everything to a null layer, then scale the null layer. But since I've already got the face parented to a null layer, I'm not sure where to go. This is a noob question I know and I searched for a answer, honest! But I'm not even sure how to phrase my search terminology for this.

A simple answer as I suspected! Thank you so much. I've had casual experience with AE for many years, but am now really trying to take it to the next level with motion tracking and compositing. So I will have many more questions I'm sure. I appreciate everyone's patience with me. Cheers!

  • How do install two opertating systems without losing any files?

    Hi there,
    I recently bought a logitech quickcam zoom webcam, and have downloaded all the drivers as instructed..macam, ioxperts etc, but i'm trying in vain to make it work...no joy!...
    As a last attempt, i am going to try to install the operating system 10.2.6, in addition to the 10.4.3 which i already have. Hopefully this will be compatible (as it says so on the box)!
    Pls explain in laymans terms how i would install the new operating system without it conflicting with everything that's already on the Mac.
    Thanks in advance...

    An USB cam with drivers installed is still likely to need http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/ to work with iChat although iMovie is likely to see the camera.

  • Merge two text overlay layers without losing effect?

    I'm using PS CS4 and I have two text layers on top of each other (they same the same thing) and the layer style for both is set for "overlay". I want to merge (and rasterize) the two layers but keep the look of the doubled up overlay effect.
    Can this be done??
    Thanks...

    So if both are set to overlay, then that means they both depend on the pixels below them for the effect. So you have a choice to make.
    1) You can leave them as is (which would be preferable in my mind). Why do you need to merge them?
    2) You can select the transparency of one of the type layers (command-click on the layer icon in the layer panel), and then copy merged and paste. This should give you the layer you desire. I'd save the old layers for later, just in case.
    3) Something I haven't thought of.

  • I have a new iPod Touch and one apple ID. I want to use My laptop aswell as my desktop computer for the one ipod, using the same apple ID. I have music on both computers and want to merge the two without losing any music or apps. How do I do this?

    I have a new iPod Touch and one apple ID. I want to use My laptop aswell as my desktop computer for the one ipod, using the same apple ID. I have music on both computers and want to merge the two without losing any music or apps. How do I do this?
    My iPod has music and apps from my apple ID that I downloaded to my iPod via iCloud and some apps that I got free from the store, straight onto my iPod, but my laptop has some music on it aswell, separate from my other library. I want to put the music from my laptop into my iTunes library which I want to use on both computers. Is it possible to do this?
    Thanks.

    - You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
    Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
    - If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
    go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.

    If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

    It's a little tricky to move data from one iCloud account to another but it can be done. But what makes you think you have 2 iCloud accounts.

  • Can I combine two partitions without losing data on one?

    So if I have two partitions on one hard drive can I combine them without losing the data that is on one of them?  If not, could I just do a time machine backup, combine the two partitions, and then restore the time machine backup?  Would that work?

    If the other partition was created with BootCamp it can be deleted in Bootcamp and merged back into OS X.
    It might be possible to rename the partition "BOOTCAMP" in Disk Utility and formatted MSDOS to trick Boot Camp into thinking it is a Bootcamp parititon and merging it back into OS X. (haven't tried this so I don't know if it works or not yet) I would first make a clone below before attempting this method.
    TimeMachine restores are fraught with problems on these forums.
    What I would do in your case is use another equal or larger sized (than your primary boot drive), blank, Disk Utility HFS+Journaled formatted, external powered drive to Carbon Copy Clone your OS X boot partition to it, then Disk Utility > Repair Permissions on both (you can ignore the list that shows).
    What this does is gives you a "hold the option key" bootable clone, which while booted from it, check it out first and then use Disk Utility to completey (select the hard drive name) format the entire primary boot drive (HFS+ Journaled of course).
    Then simply CCC back onto the primary boot drive. Then run ALL of OnyX's maintainence and cleaning aspects and reboot. Speedy machine here we come.   (note: Cloning optimizes the drive by the order of the alphabetical order files in the Root Level, leaving "Users" last where the most change and slowdown in drive performance occurs, OnyX cleans out the caches and rebuilds Spotlight, more performance)
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/
    The new version of CCC has gotten a bit more complicated, including a archiving of files changed from between updated clones, however the default settings are fine for your first time clone to a blank drive. So all you really have to do is select the "From" and "To" drives and click Clone.
    Clones are wonderful, it's a exact copy of whats on your primary boot drive, so far in the many years I've used clones everything has worked on the same machine, everything.
    TimeMachine drives are not bootable, leaving you stuck if your hard drive dies or you can't boot from the OS X install disks.
    You can first make a clone so you have that method, then c boot off the 10.6 installer disk and use TimeMachine that way to restore to the newly formatted drive (use Disk Utility under the Utilities menu, second screen in) I haven't tried this myself, prefering clones instead as it's less headaches.
    Remmeber to ALWAYS have two backups of your data at all times, (erasing your drive leaves you with only one copy) in this case you would have a clone and a TM backup, in case one method fails (less likely the clone), then you got the other method.

  • Back saving illustrator CC file to CS6 without losing layers?

    How can I back save illustrator files created in CC (CS7 version???) to CS6 without losing layers?  when I open the files in CS6 it says "some info will be lost'   Ha!  all layers and separation is lost, so cannot separate parts... whole file seems grouped and cannot be separated???
    When I go back to my (other) computer where I was foolish enought to upgrade to CC, I cannot figure a way to save back as I can with InDesign and saving as a idml file.  Help!

    Hi, M
    Thanks for the reply... what do you mean by the 'second' dialog box... do you mean the Format box?
    I am on a mac mini with Illustrator CS6 and do not want to load Illustrator CC to it (too many problems)
    but have Illustrator CC on my laptop (now at home, not with me) where the files were created on it.  I saved the files to a flash to work on my mini while away... but encounter problems if I just open the CC files in CS6.
    So... I am trying to explain to my husband (at home with the laptop) how to save the needed files 'back' for me so that they open fully and safely in CS6.... but doing it sort of 'blind' thus I need very specific, step by step instuctions and to explain to him exactly what each box or choice is named.
    Sorry it is so hard, but he is not computer literate.  Adobe help said to do the following:
    click on save as, then click on save, then you get window where at top is an option for a dropdown window and it has a 'default version 17' which then gives another dropdown with options to backward save as CS6 or CS5.
    That 'save as' then 'save' seemed strange (to an illustrator and InDesign user) as did the 'default version 17' part.
    In CS6 the save as Format box only offers ai, eps, ait, pdf, fxg, svgz, and svg.... nothing that sounds like the .idml of InDesign backsaving....  I as about to call home and try to walk him thru the above, blind... when got your email which sounded more hopeful.
    Can you be more specific as to what  to look closely at?  Thanks so much!
