Question

Presets only affect rotation/z rotation and does not affect position when supposed to.

I’m currently having a strange issue in After Effects: whenever I save my own animation presets, it only seems to store the rotation – position, scale, or other transform properties just don’t make it in. No matter what I try, only the rotation axis gets saved. What’s even weirder is that this doesn’t just happen with my own presets. Even when I use presets made by others that are supposed to include both position and rotation, only the rotation works. I’ve tried applying them to different null layers, and it’s always the same: the rotation applies, but the position gets completely ignored. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if this is a bug, but it’s pretty frustrating, since it really limits how useful presets can be

That's strange!

Is it happening in a project as well or in a particular project? If possible, could you share the preset with me for testing? Feel free to share via DM if you don't want to share it publicly.

Happy to help.


Thanks,
